Yahoo News The Game Is Afoot! Meet the Cast of 'The Traitors' Season 3
Put on your plaid because The Traitors is headed back to the Scottish Highlands for a third season. The Emmy Award-winning Peacock show returns soon with Alan Cumming as host.
Twenty-one stars vie for a cash prize of up to $250,000 in this giant game of mafia, which pits two groups, the Faithful and Traitors, against each another. The Traitors’ goal? Take down the Faithful one by one and nab up the money as the Faithful try to identify and catch the Traitors. If the Faithful can banish every Traitor before the end, they split the prize.
Last season, The Traitors was the most watched reality series debut on Peacock, and the show became the number one unscripted U.S. series across all streaming platforms. The third season will consist of 11 episodes and a reunion. Read more about the all-star cast below.
