The second season of the US-favourite reality show concluded in March 2024, leaving fans hungry for more plots, treasons, and mysteries. Luckily, the next instalment of The Traitors is on its way, and you don’t have to wait much longer.
Based on the Danish ‘De Verraders’ format, the show has taken American audiences by storm. The first US season was a smash hit in 2023, with the atmosphere of the Scottish castle and the backstabbing contestants captivating the nation.
After the success of The Traitors US season 2, another instalment was only a matter of time. In February 2024, Peacock renewed the show for season 3 – here is everything we know so far. You can also read up on why The Traitors UK is superior to this show, and the celebrity edition of the UK Traitors.
When do new episodes of The Traitors US season 3 release?
Mark your calendars, because The Traitors US season 3 will return on 9 January 2025 on Peacock. It will air just over a week after the UK series debuts.
Watch the first dastardly devilish trailer below:
What will season 3 of The Traitors US be about?
The show’s formula will remain the same. An old castle in the Scottish Highlands will bring together 21 contestants to compete for a maximum $250,000 cash prize. Before they get it, however, they will have to face various physical and intellectual challenges to build up the pot.
Adding to the difficulty is that several ‘traitors’ are hiding in the team and plotting against the ‘faithfuls’ to take their money. Each night, the villains will choose a person to murder and be removed from the programme. The group must deduce who the potential traitor might be and decide to banish that participant.
Just like the second season, this edition will feature celebrities exclusively. Of course, we’re expecting to see some brand new challenges and possibly some more twists to keep the game fresh.
