Overview
- NBC announced on Thursday that The Traitors: New Blood will premiere with a two-hour episode on Sept. 17 at 8 p.m. ET and air weekly on Thursdays with new episodes streaming on Peacock the following day.
- Alan Cumming will return as host and executive producer for the season, which is produced by Studio Lambert and filmed at Ardross Castle in Scotland.
- The season will feature 22 civilian contestants selected from a reported pool of more than 60,000 applicants, marking a shift away from the recent celebrity-heavy U.S. casts.
- The show retains its Traitors versus Faithful format with missions to build a prize fund worth up to $250,000 and eliminations by banishment and nightly secret 'murders.'
- The franchise has won multiple Emmys and the move to an all-civilian roster could change game strategy, create new breakout personalities, and influence how future seasons are cast and scheduled.
