The Traitors US Season 3 Trailer, News, Release Date and Contestants

The US-favorite reality show’s second season concluded in March 2024, leaving fans eager for more plots, betrayals, and mysteries. Fortunately, the next installment of The Traitors is on its way, and the wait won’t be much longer.

Borrowing from the Danish format ‘De Verraders,’ the show has captured American audiences by storm. The first US season was a hit in 2023, with the Scottish castle atmosphere and conniving contestants captivating the nation.

Following the success of The Traitors US season 2, it was only a matter of time before another installment. In February 2024, Peacock renewed the show for season 3 – here’s everything we know so far. You can also explore why The Traitors UK surpasses this show, and the celebrity edition of the UK Traitors.

When do new episodes of The Traitors US season 3 release?

Mark your calendars because The Traitors US season 3 will premiere on 9 January 2025 on Peacock. It will air just over a week after the UK series debuts.

Is there a trailer for The Traitors US season 3?

If you can’t wait until 9 January, the first seven minutes of the show are available to stream on Peacock now. This clip shows the contestants facing a choice before entering the castle, with the option to eliminate someone from the game.

This mirrors what we’ve seen on the UK version before, but not on this celebrity American edition.

What will season 3 of The Traitors US be about?

The show’s core formula remains the same. An ancient castle in the Scottish Highlands will bring together 21 contestants to compete for a maximum $250,000 cash prize. But before they can win, they must face various physical and mental challenges to build up the prize pot.

Adding to the challenge is the presence of ‘traitors’ within the team, scheming against the ‘faithfuls’ to steal their money. Each night, the villains will choose a person to eliminate from the program. The group must figure out who the potential traitor is and decide to remove that participant.

Similar to the second season, this edition will exclusively feature celebrities. Expect to see new challenges and twists to keep the game exciting.
