If you’re new to The Traitors, here’s the premise:

A group of 23 reality stars and public figures arrive at a majestic Scottish castle to work together on missions that can earn them a cash prize of up to $250,000.

But among the group lurk the Traitors — secret saboteurs handpicked by host Alan Cumming, whose mission is to quietly “murder” the Faithful players one by one.

Each night, the Faithful must vote to banish someone they suspect. Each day, the Traitors strike again.

If the Faithful identify and banish all Traitors before the final round, they split the prize. But if even one Traitor survives to the end, they take everything.

“It’s not just a game of strategy — it’s a masterclass in deceit.”

🏰 The Setting — Secrets in the Scottish Highlands

Once again, The Traitors US is filmed at the hauntingly beautiful Ardross Castle, nestled deep within the misty Scottish Highlands.

Its gothic halls, grand staircases, and candlelit banquets make the perfect stage for mind games and manipulation. Under Alan Cumming’s theatrical eye, even a dinner conversation feels like a Shakespearean showdown.

The drama unfolds in opulent rooms, dark corridors, and secret meetings by firelight — every corner of the castle holds tension.

👑 Alan Cumming Returns — The Host of Chaos Himself

Few hosts have ever owned a show quite like Alan Cumming.

With his mischievous flair, perfectly tailored tartan suits, and theatrical wit, Cumming has become The Traitors’ beating heart. He presides over the castle like a gleeful puppet master — equal parts mentor, villain, and ringmaster.

“Alan Cumming doesn’t just host the show — he performs it.”

Expect him to outdo himself this season, with even sharper commentary, unexpected twists, and his signature flair for the dramatic.

🔥 Higher Stakes: New missions with dangerous physical and psychological challenges.

🏆 Bigger Rewards: A $250,000 prize pool that could vanish with one wrong vote.
