Since its premiere in 2023, “The Traitors” has become a cultural hit. Each season follows a group of players from all walks of celebrity life as they compete in a psychological adventure full of treachery and deceit set in an ancient castle deep in the Scottish Highlands. As contestants compete in a series of missions in the hopes of building a prize fund worth up to $250,000, they have to be wary of the Traitors, contestants who will eliminate the Faithful and claim the prize for themselves. If Faithful contestants banish all the Traitors, they can share the prize money. But if a Traitor or Traitors make it until the end, they’ll steal the entire prize. The series is essentially a high-stakes and filmed version of the party games “Werewolf” and “Mafia.”
Season 3 of the competition series launched in January and became the No. 1 unscripted series in the U.S., according to data from Nielsen. That installment saw a 67% increase in viewership the week of its launch compared to Season 2. “The Traitors” has already been renewed for a fifth season.
“The Traitors” is based on a Dutch series known as “De Verraders.” It was created and developed by IDTV and POSVIDEO, in cooperation with RTL Creative Unit. Season 4 is executive produced by Stephen Lambert, Mike Cotton, Sam Rees-Jones, Rosie Franks, Tim Harcourt, Jack Burgess, Darrell Olsen and Cumming. Studio Lambert, part of All3 Media, serves as the series’ producing studio.
