Following the success of the murder mystery gameshow, The Traitors, on BBC One, the channel has acquired the rights to The Traitors US from All3 Media International.
The US version sees a mix of famous faces and everyday Americans, 20 in total, play the game of deception and suspicion.
Award-winning actor Alan Cumming hosts the series at an ancient castle in Scotland where, just like the UK version, the contestants will have to work together on exhilarating missions to increase the prize fund up to $250,000.
And, of course, going deep undercover among the Faithful contestants are the Traitors, who must remain undetected while eliminating the Faithfuls one by one to claim the prize for themselves.
Dan McGolpin, Director, iPlayer and Channels, said: “Following the huge success of The Traitors, which has been streamed more than 28 million times on BBC iPlayer and was the talk of the nation over the festive period, we’re delighted to give BBC viewers the chance to watch the brand new US series within hours of its release in America.
"Hosted by the brilliant Alan Cumming and filmed at the same location as the UK series, it’s a new year treat for those seeking out more treachery."
The Traitors US will land as a boxset on BBC iPlayer on 13 January 2023, before airing on BBC Three and BBC One.
