The Traitors is gearing up for its third season on Peacock. The streaming service has announced the cast of 21 reality stars who will compete in the upcoming season in a newly released video. Peacock renewed the reality competition series in February.
Alan Cumming will return as host for season three, with veterans of Survivor, The Bachelorette, Big Brother, and more set to appear. The series follows “faithful” contestants as they try to figure out who the traitors among them are. As the traitors plot to eliminate the faithful players, the latter try to figure out the identities of the traitors to get rid of them. If all the traitors are successfully kicked off by the end of the season, the four remaining contestants split a $250,000 prize. If there’s still a traitor among them, the traitor wins all of the money.
Peacock revealed more about the return of the series in a press release.

Produced by Studio Lambert and set in a remote castle deep in the Scottish Highlands, five-time Emmy-nominated Alan Cumming plays host to 21 larger-than-life personalities who come together to compete in a series of missions with the objective of earning a cash prize of up to $250,000. The catch? Hidden amongst the Faithful contestants are the Traitors, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithful and claim the prize for themselves. Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors “murder” contestants one by one, but if the Faithful can banish all the Traitors before the end of the game, they’ll split the incredible prize.
THE TRAITORS is produced by Studio Lambert with Stephen Lambert, Mike Cotton, Sam Rees-Jones, Rosie Franks, Jack Burgess and Tim Harcourt serving as executive producers.
Last season (Season 2), THE TRAITORS became the #1 unscripted series in the U.S. across all streaming platforms during launch week, according to Nielsen. THE TRAITORS Season 2 was the most-watched reality series debut on Peacock. Season 1 of THE TRAITORS took home the Emmy Award for Outstanding Casting for a Reality Program.
A premiere date has yet to be announced. The cast reveal video for season 3 of The Traitors is below.
What do you think? Have you watched this Peacock competition series? Do you plan to check out season three when it arrives later this year?
The US version would be way better if it was complete strangers and not these washed up so called celebrities. Out of all the versions of The Traitors I have seen the US version is by far the worst because of this.
