Peacock Opens Casting for New Season of The Traitors US
The announcement was made Thursday at the Television Academy’s Televerse Festival. Alan Cumming, who currently hosts the U.S. edition, will return to lead the series set in the show’s trademark castle environment.
New Format and Contestants
Unlike recent installments that included recognizable reality personalities, this edition will recruit “smart, strategic everyday people” prepared to compete in what the network calls the ultimate test of trust and deception.
Prize Structure
Prize money remains the same structure as prior seasons, with a top potential pot of $250,000 that depends on what contestants secure during play. The final winnings will be divided among either the Traitors or the Faithfuls, depending on the outcome.
Production and Casting Details
Sharon Vuong, EVP of Unscripted Programming at NBCUniversal Entertainment, said the new format will introduce a fresh group of players to the program’s devoted audience and promised compelling gameplay with Cumming guiding the action.
