Its format sees two celebrities filmed as they tackle journeys down roads considered notably hazardous.
In the new episodes, one pairing will be comedians and friends, Johnny Vegas and Lucy Beaumont.
The journey taken by the Taskmaster alums sees them driving through Montenegro.
Johnny shared: “I can’t believe I’ve such fond memories of being so b****y terrified at times.
“I can only put it down to Lucy Beaumont‘s inexhaustible quirky humour under pressure and Montenegro’s stunning variation of landscapes.
“Both tears of fear and laughter made it an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime.”
Meanwhile, Lucy added: “I still can’t believe I made in one piece; I must admit I didn’t want to be on a dangerous road with Johnny driving, but I didn’t want to leave either.
“What started out as a white-knuckle ride turned out to be a spiritual experience which cemented that me and Johnny will be lifelong friends.”
Another confirmed duo is I’m a Celeb alum Babatunde Aléshé and fellow comedian Kae Kurd – who travelled to Zambia.
Reflecting on his experience, Babatunde shared: “I absolutely loved taking part in World’s Most Dangerous Roads.
“As someone of African heritage, this journey meant so much to me, especially to experience it with my good friend Kae.”
As Kae remarked: “One of the best experiences of my life. Challenging, fun and eye opening, and with a great companion too.”
In addition, Rhod Gilbert – who has appeared in previous episodes – will be narrating a compilation of memorable show moments so far.
This is titled World’s Most Dangerous Roads: Rhod Gilbert’s Extra Mile.
