Claudia Winkleman presides over a Scottish castle full of liars — the most successful new British format of the decade, and the export that beat the Dutch original.

What is The Traitors about?

Strangers play the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust in the hope of winning up to £120,000. But hidden amongst the players are three Traitors, who secretly ‘murder’ a player every night. It’s up to the Faithfuls to banish them from the game before they become the next victim. If the Faithfuls eliminate all the Traitors they split the cash; but if a Traitor remains undetected to the end of the game, they take all the money.

Short review 4 min read English The Traitors

The Traitors (2022) Review: Murder, Mistrust and Knitwear

The Traitors is the BBC's castle-set reality game of lies and paranoia hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the rare format that makes group psychology gripping television.

Yes. It is the most addictive reality competition on British TV, ideal for anyone who enjoys social deduction, though its 12-episode runs have some padding.
