Have you always dreamed about backstabbing people in a Scottish castle? The Traitors US wants you.
On Thursday, Peacock announced during the Television Academy’s Televerse Festival that the popular reality TV series is now casting for an all-civilian-led season, hosted by the current U.S. host, Alan Cumming.
Rather than host incredible Bravo-lites like Phaedra Parks, Dorinda Medley, and Kate Chastain or figures from other reality shows and the cultural zeitgeist, this new season will cast fully from “smart, strategic everyday people” who are willing to compete “in the ultimate game of trust and treachery.”
As with the normal seasons — Season 4, which includes names like Donna Kelce and Lisa Rinna — the prize money will go up to $250,000, dependent on the amount secured by the contestants throughout the game. At the end, the total prize amount will be split between the Traitors or the Faithfuls, depending on who wins the game.
“We’re excited to bring along ‘The Traitors’ highly addictive fan base as we discover the next generation of legendary gamers and schemers,” said Sharon Vuong, Executive Vice President, Unscripted Programming, NBCUniversal Entertainment.

She added, “With our resident host and gameplay master of ceremonies, Alan Cumming, on board to introduce complete strangers to new epic missions and twisted gameplay, this new version for NBC offers a unique opportunity for the cast and audience to meet each other for the first time and we know it will be incredible to watch.”
