The Traitors US

The Traitors US is coming to BBC iPlayer, kicking off the same day the UK series ends. Hosted by Alan Cumming, the series differentiates itself from its British counterpart by featuring celebrity contestants, largely from reality TV.

The contestants are divided into ‘Traitors’ and ‘Faithfuls’, who will then compete to win $250,000. The Traitors will operate covertly, ‘murdering’ Faithfuls nightly, and try to avoid being discovered and banished at the round tables.

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.
