The Traitors (also known as The Traitors US outside of the United States) is an American reality competition series based on the Dutch series De Verraders. It is hosted by Scottish actor Alan Cumming.[1] The first season was released on Peacock on January 12, 2023. In February 2023, the series was renewed for a second season, and the first three episodes were released on January 12, 2024.[2][3] In February 2024, the show was renewed for a third season.[4] In August 2024, the show was renewed for two additional seasons taking it through season 5.[5]
Following the premise of other versions of De Verraders, the show features a group of contestants participating in a game similar to the party game Mafia – in which a small group of contestants become the titular "Traitors" and must work together to eliminate the other contestants in order to win the grand prize. The remaining contestants are "Faithfuls" and are tasked to discover and banish the Traitors by voting them out in order to win the grand prize.
The American show is closely related to its British counterpart, with both being produced by Studio Lambert for the BBC and Peacock. They share the same location, props, and missions, with the main difference being the hosts.[6]
