The Traitors US- Season 1

Hosted by award-winning actor Alan Cumming, 20 players face off in the ultimate murder mystery game, where manipulation is key and a cash prize is up for grabs.

The Traitors Australia- Season 1

24 contestants enter a grand heritage hotel, forming uneasy alliances and braving psychological challenges to claim a cash prize with Rodger Corser as host.

Let the mind games begin. With The Traitors Ireland coming to RT One and RT Player this autumn, now is the perfect time to experience how the game plays out around the world.

The nail-biting psychological reality competition sees a group of strangers arrive at a remote castle to play the ultimate game of deception, betrayal and trust, all in the hope of winning a cash prize. But, hidden amongst them are the Traitors, who will attempt to secretly murder a player every night, without getting caught. It's up to the others, the Faithfuls, to try to detect who the Traitors are, and banish them from the game, before they become their next victim.

Each day, the group embark on Missions as they work together to add more money to the prize pot. For the lucky ones who survive to the end, they have the chance of winning that life-changing cash, but if a Traitor remains undetected, they'll steal all the money.
