help The Traitors FAQ
How are the Traitors chosen in The Traitors?
A small number of contestants are secretly selected as Traitors while the remaining players become Faithfuls. The exact selection is handled by the host and production, with the identities revealed to viewers but hidden from most contestants.
What is the difference between banishment and murder on The Traitors?
During banishment, the whole group votes to remove a suspected Traitor at the round table. A murder is privately chosen by the Traitors and removes a Faithful from the game, usually before the next breakfast.
Where did The Traitors format originate?
The format began in the Netherlands as De Verraders in 2021. It subsequently produced adaptations including the BBC's British version hosted by Claudia Winkleman and Peacock's US version hosted by Alan Cumming.
Can a Traitor win the entire prize fund?
Yes. If a Traitor remains when the surviving players vote to end the game, that Traitor can take the prize instead of the Faithfuls sharing it.
