Soon, becoming a back-stabbing turncoat won’t just be for the rich and famous, as Peacock‘s hit show The Traitors is set to debut an all-new civilian version of the competition on NBC.
The Traitors has thrived on the streaming service with an all-celebrity cast, delivering drama, betrayals, and tense roundtable banishments. Now, the series aims to replicate that success by bringing in everyday contestants eager to scheme, manipulate, and outwit one another, all while competing in elaborate challengeson their way to the grand prize.
“We’re excited to bring along The Traitors‘ highly addictive fan base as we discover the next generation of legendary gamers and schemers,” said Sharon Vuong, Executive Vice President of Unscripted Programming at NBCUniversal Entertainment. “With our resident host and gameplay master of ceremonies, Alan Cumming, on board to introduce complete strangers to new epic missions and twisted gameplay, this new version for NBC offers a unique opportunity for the cast and audience to meet each other for the first time, and we know it will be incredible to watch.”
When does The Traitors: Civilian Edition air?
An exact date has not been set, but the new series will air for one hour on Thursdays at 8/7 p. m. EST.
Who will host the spinoff?
Cumming will be back to host the new edition and pick new Traitors and Faithfuls to his Scottish highlands castle.
What is the prize?
Like the celebrity edition, the top prize is $250,000. The contestants must work together on challenges to put money in their prize pot.
Has there ever been a civilian season before?
Technically, on the U.S. version, Season 1 had a mix of celebrities and civilians. But this is the first all-civilian season.
Who are the contestants?
The contestants have not yet been announced. Check back here for updates.
Will there be a reunion show?
No confirmation on whether this edition will have a reunion show, but one is likely.
Where can you watch the past seasons?
The past seasons of the non-civilian seasons air exclusively on Peacock. Be sure to catch up on them before the new series premieres.
Is there a trailer?
