What is The Traitors about?

Set in the Scottish Highlands, The Traitors brings together a group of strangers divided into two groups: “Traitors” and “Faithfuls.” The three Traitors know who the others are, but the Faithfuls are left in the dark with the task of trying to figure out who is trying to betray the group, all while participating in a series of absurd challenges, and trying not to get “murdered” by the Traitors.

Are The Traitors (US) and The Traitors (UK) different?

To some extent, yes! While both versions of the show have found great success, the US show draws the majority of its contestants from popular American reality shows like The Bachelor, Survivor, The Challenge and the Real Housewives franchise, the UK version pulls its contestants from the civilian population. The Traitors (US) is hosted by Alan Cumming, while Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman stands at the helm of the UK version.
