The Traitors
2022Rated 8.2
Twenty-two strangers gather at a Scottish castle to play a game for a cash prize. A few are secretly chosen as Traitors and must remove the rest one by one without being found out.
Starring Claudia Winkleman
Next season
Season 5announced, no date yet
Daily, 12 episodes, last aired Fri, 23 Jan 2026
Is it for me?
Armchair detectives who like shouting at the screen about who is lying will have a ball. Every morning the contestants watch the breakfast doorway to see who was murdered overnight; every evening they vote at the round table and the banished player reveals their role. Claudia Winkleman teases them with dry, theatrical calm, so the mood stays playful and a little gothic.
Before you start
Each season is a separate game, so any of them works as a starting point; later ones add rule changes to the same daily loop.
