What happens

The Traitors (also known as The Traitors UK) is a British reality television series broadcast on BBC One, based on the Dutch series De Verraders. It was first broadcast on 29 November 2022 and is hosted by Claudia Winkleman. Following the premise of De Verraders, the show features a group of contestants participating in a social deduction game similar to Mafia or Werewolf, set in and among the grounds of Ardross Castle in Scotland. During the game, 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 to win the grand prize. Since the show launched, it has become a huge success for the BBC, with viewing figures growing substantially each series. It has become one of the most watched British reality gameshows of all time. The show has gained a cult following. In 2025, a celebrity spin-off titled The Celebrity Traitors was created. The British show also acts as a sister show to the American version, with both being produced by Studio Lambert for the BBC and Peacock. They share the same location, props, and missions, with the main difference being the hosts. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
