The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

The Traitors (also known as The Traitors Australia outside of Australia) is an Australian reality television series broadcast on Network 10, which premiered on 16 October 2022. It is based on the Dutch series De Verraders. Following the premise of other versions of De Verraders, the show features a group of contestants participating in a social deduction game similar to Mafia or Werewolf, as they stay in a luxurious heritage manor. During their stay, a small group of contestants become the titular "Traitors," and must work together to eliminate the other contestants to win a grand prize, while the remaining contestants become "Faithful" and are tasked to discover and banish the Traitors by voting them out of the game to win a grand prize worth up to $250,000. Announced in 2022, the Australian edition was one of the first to be announced and aired, following the original Dutch version in 2021, with Endemol Shine producing the series. Two seasons hosted by actor Rodger Corser aired in 2022 and 2023. The series was axed in 2024, though 10 teased that the series may return in the future. In September 2025, 10 announced a third season, to air in 2026, with comedian and former Big Brother Australia host Gretel Killeen replacing Corser as host. This season will feature a full cast of reality television personalities. With the 2026 edition, production moved to New Zealand, effectively making the series a sister show to the New Zealand version, with both produced by South Pacific Pictures for Network 10 and Three. They are set to share the same location, props, and feature similar missions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
