The Traitors is based on deception, lies, and backstabbing, but there’s no need for that subterfuge when it comes to watching the hit reality show.

Season 3 of the series, which features players from across the reality TV spectrum — from Housewives to competition series legends — once again sees those players competing for a chance to win up to $250,000. After coming together at host Alan Cumming's castle in the Scottish Highlands, the players have been divided into the Traitors and the Faithful.

And right now, it's anyone's game.

An American version of a Dutch reality show called De Verraders, The Traitors gathers 20-plus contestants into a castle in the Scottish Highlands under the supervision of host Alan Cumming. Many of the players are past reality show contestants from series like Survivor, The Bachelorette, or Real Housewives, though there are also some other folks, including a real-life English lord in Season 3.

Once in the castle, the group must decide to eliminate one of their members each night while competing in various challenges and games to increase the amount of money in the prize pot. However, a few players are Traitors, and rather than working toward the larger group's interests — who would split the winnings among the remaining players — their goal is to make it to the end, where they’d win the entire prize for themselves.

The show — which became the #1 unscripted series across all streaming platforms in the first week of Season 2's launch — is executive-produced by Stephen Lambert, Mike Cotton, Sam Rees-Jones, Rosie Franks, Jack Burgess, and Tim Harcourt.
