An all-new season of competition reality show The Traitors (US version) is set to debut on Peacock early in the new year. The streaming service on Thursday announced its January premiere date, released the official trailer, and announced the list of names of its reality TV cast, all of which you can check out below.
The Traitors is a nail-biting psychological adventure in which treachery and deceit are the name of the game. Entertainment’s most competitive reality stars and famous faces play the ultimate murder mystery game. Hosted by award-winning actor Alan Cumming at an ancient castle set deep in the Scottish Highlands, contestants work together on a series of exhilarating missions to build a prize fund worth up to $250,000.
Hidden amongst the Faithful are the Traitors, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithful and claim the prize for themselves. Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree, while the Faithful try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game. If the Faithful contestants banish all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if a Traitor or Traitors makes it to the end, they will steal all the money.
Hosted by Alan Cumming, the season’s first three episodes will be available to stream Friday, Jan 12 and weekly on Thursdays at 6pm PT/9pm ET thereafter.
This season also features an official per-episode after show, The Traitors Postmortem, featuring additional footage and interviews with eliminated contestants. Sponsored by State Farm®, the after show will stream on Peacock following new episodes and on Peacock’s YouTube the following day.
