The third season of The Traitors US premiered on Peacock on January 9, and fans are already calling it the ‘best show on TV.’
With a star-studded cast, high-stakes drama, and jaw-dropping twists, the show has captured audiences right from its explosive first episode.
Hosted once again by the charming Alan Cumming, the brand-new season opens with 23 contestants, including a mix of athletes, reality TV royalty, and everyday competitors, all stepping into the stunning castle.
The star-studded lineup features the likes of WWE diva Nikki Garcia, Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, Bob the Drag Queen, and Britney Spears’ ex-husband Sam Asghari.
Also hoping to prove that they are Faithful or disguise their Traitor tendencies are Robyn Dixon, Jeremy Collins, Dylan Efron, Bob Harper, Ciara Miller, and Carolyn Wiger.
Within minutes of the 20 contestants first meeting, alliances are formed, suspicions arise, and the nail-biting search to uncover the ‘Traitors’ begins.
