The news looks grand for fans of The Traitors, as the franchise has announced the dates for season two. The reality TV show, hosted by Emmy award-winning actor Alan Cumming, has been greatly anticipated since its first season release in 2023.
The exhilarating format of the show and the popularity it gained has led to it being renewed for a second season. The first season was released on January 12, 2023; the second season was announced in September 2023.
Now, exactly a year later, season 2 is set to debut on January 12, 2024. It will be released on Peacock, with episodes dropping every week.
The Traitors: What to expect, when and where to watch
For those who are unfamiliar with The Traitors universe, its trailer hopefully would give an idea of the hell that breaks loose far in the Scottish Highlands. The trailer shows its speculative contestants trying to save their position in a cut-throat competition while Alan fanning their flames.
The plot of the show feels a lot like the game Among Us, where a bunch of traitors are hiding as imposters in a group of faithful contestants as they all try to solve a murder mystery.
The traitors have to secretly murder the faithful contestants, one by one, to win the prize money. If the faithful contestants successfully identify the traitors and unanimously vote for them, the traitors get eliminated and the prize money goes to the faithful ones.
The Traitors has also been in talks for the costumes Alan Cumming dawns, the new season is expected to double down on the already gallant reputation of Alan's dressing.
The first three episodes are set to release on Peacock on January 12, 2024. The rest are expected to drop every Thursday at 9 pm ET. Here's the list for other time zones:
There's a cherry on the cake for the passionate fans in the form of an aftershow! The aftershow will be a glimpse into the stories of the eliminated contestants. It will show how some traitors hid as imposters and how they conjured up a murder or how faithful contestants were deceived into voting out a fellow innocent player. The aftershow will air right after the main show ends.
