‘The Traitors’ To Return For Season 3 On Peacock, With Alan Cumming Back As Host

Not ready for The Traitors Season 2 to end next month? Fortunately, there’s more where that came from!

The team behind the hit Peacock series has announced its renewal for a third season, with beloved host and producer Alan Cumming set to return to lead a new batch of reality TV’s most iconic and “most competitive” personalities.

For those who haven’t tuned into “the nail-biting psychological adventure” known as The Traitors, the reality series — which also ranks as the streamer’s “most watched unscripted series of all time” — matches up the most well-known and competitive reality TV stars for “the ultimate murder mystery game,” per the show’s official synopsis.

While the contestants collaborate on “a series of exhilarating missions to build a prize fund worth up to $250,000 prize,” among the participants are “the Faithful” and “the Traitors,” the latter of whom are out to eliminate the Faithful in order to take all of the prize money.

Meanwhile, the Faithful are attempting to determine which of their fellow contestants are the Traitors so that they may “banish them” from the competition. If the Faithful successfully banish every Traitor, then they “share the prize fund.”

Filmed in the same stunning castle in the Scottish Highlands as Season 1, Season 2 of the Emmy award-winning series premiered last month with a stacked cast representing multiple reality TV franchises, including former Bachelor Peter Weber, Married to Medicine‘s Phaedra Parks, Shahs of Sunset‘s Mercedes “MJ” Javid, and Below Deck‘s Kate Chastain, the last of whom also appeared on Season 1.

New episodes of The Traitors Season 2 air on Thursdays at 6 p.m. ET/PT on Peacock. A premiere date for Season 3 has not yet been announced.
