The Traitors is one of my reality TV obsessions, and I am not alone. Alan Cumming hosts the popular Peacock series, which is set in a remote Scottish castle. I would tune in just to see Alan’s looks. In this competition series, Alan secretly selects several Traitors, who murder a Faithful each night. Meanwhile, the Faithfuls try to root out the Traitors’ identity and banish them.
At stake is a prize of $250,000. However, if any Traitors remain, they take the whole prize pot. If only Faithfuls remain, they share the cash. And now, a new version of The Traitors is coming to NBC.
