Derry Girls and Big Boys star Dylan Llewellyn is stepping far outside his comfort zone, and way beyond the British Isles, as he signs up for the next series of Celebrity Race Across the World.
The beloved actor, known for playing the sweet and awkward James in Channel 4’s Derry Girls, is set to swap scripts for survival skills in the upcoming series of the hit BBC adventure show. Dylan will team up with a mystery companion to tackle a thrilling race across continents, all without flights, phones, or bank-busting budgets.
Fans will see Dylan trade his usual comedy roles for real-world drama, as he navigates vast landscapes, unpredictable travel routes, and language barriers, all in a bid to reach the finish line before the other celebrity competitors.
The upcoming series is shaping up to be the biggest yet. Molly Rainford and Tyler West were announced just yesterday, adding to the excitement. The previous season, which aired last August, featured the likes of Kelly Brook, Scott Mills, Jeff Brazier, and Kola Bokinni, and took viewers on a breathtaking race across South America.
Now, with Dylan Llewellyn in the mix, the new series promises heart, humour, and high-stakes travel moments as celebs ditch luxury for the bare essentials and face a globe-spanning challenge like no other.

BBC producers are keeping this year’s route under wraps, but if it’s anything like previous series, viewers can expect borders crossed, friendships tested, and emotions running high, all under the pressure of a ticking clock and a strict budget.
Known for his gentle charm and underdog energy, Dylan could become a fan-favourite in the race, if he can handle the stress of delayed trains, crowded hostels, and street-food dinners.
No official air date has been revealed yet, but filming is understood to be underway, with the new series expected to land later this year.
One thing’s for sure, Dylan Llewellyn is about to show us a whole new side of himself, and we’ll be watching every step of the way.
