The Traitors: Everything you need to know

Premiering on Sunday, 16 October at 7:30 pm on Channel 10, The Traitors sees a group of 24 players, also known as Faithful, live together in a grand old hotel where they will need to have their wits about them as they carry out challenges in order to win silver bars, contributing to a prize pool of silver worth up to $250,000. 

However, a twist is in the midst as some of the Faithful are actually Traitors, and it’s their mission to eliminate the Faithful one by one. The Traitors will work together, conspiring and scheming behind the Faithful’s backs and each night, they will sneak away and choose a Faithful to murder out of the game. The Traitors must remain undetected and pretend to be a Faithful like everyone else.

Meanwhile the Faithful will be on a mission to unmask The Traitors. To do so, everyone will meet in the Banishment Room where they will vote to banish someone from the game. The danger is high for the Faithful as they risk sending one of their own home if they don’t pick correctly. As the banished player leaves the game, they reveal if they were a Faithful or a Traitor. 

Along the way, they must compete in challenges to win silver bars that add up to a prize of a quarter of a million dollars. If a Traitor makes it to the end undetected, they walk away with the lot but if a Faithful can successfully unmask a Traitor and get rid of them before the final vote, they have the option to take all the prize money or split and share it with their final remaining Faithful.
