According to realitytv_fans, yesterday the second series of Celebrity The Traitors UK has wrapped its filming. On the same day, the cast of US Civilian version are flying to Scotland and the filming shall start in a few days.
So not long ago, rumored cast list of Destination X season 2 (another reality show on NBC) is posted by realitytv_fan, which include some reality stars mixed with civilians. The rumored reality stars are
- Dan (Big Brother, The Traitors 2)
- Tiffany (Big Brother, The Traitors 4)
- Wendell (Survivor Ghost Island)
- Kaylor (Love Island 6)
- Nic (Love Island 7)
- Aesha (Below Deck)
We know that NBC often cast reality stars who have appeared in one of their show to other show, such as Pilot Pete crossing from The Traitors 2 to the first season of Destination X, Parvati and Boston Rob both appeared on The Traitors and DONDI, or Dr Will appeared in DONDI after his guest stint hosting a mission during The Traitors 2. And this rumored cast also shows that Dan and Tiffany crossing from The Traitors to Destination X.
Considering that, do you think any of the names above who have not appeared on The Traitors might be included in the next season of Peacock version of The Traitors (not the civilian one)? From those names, do you have any that you'd love to see on The Traitors?
This news is actually from late February 2026 but I just found it today. Apparently the Indonesian version of The Traitors will be produced by Falcon Pictures (which interestingly is a movie production company) within this year to be streamed on OTT platform KlikFilm. It is also mentioned that the pilot season will have 10 episodes and feature exclusively celebrities.
If this project proceeds as planned then Indonesia might soon join India and Turkiye as the next Asian countries with The Traitors franchise. In addition, South Korea is also aiming to have their own version of The Traitors to be produced this year as well.
From Reality TV Fans account which has high accuracy of being correct AFAIK. Filming has just finished and as usual it is set to air in the fall.
One of the downside of being a faithful in this game is you can easily eliminated by the traitors by murder mechanism, with the shield as the only saving grace.
On that note I'd like to discuss if you as audience/fans feel that they should have more shield given in each round (potentially more faithfuls protected and reducing traitors' choice to murder) or the opposite by having less shield (reducing the number of faithfuls protected and increasing traitors' choice to murder). Which one do you think will be better for the gameplay and what's your reasoning for that?
NBC has released its schedule for fall 2026 and the first season of The Traitors civilian version will air very Thursday 8PM Eastern with 60-minute episode.
Would you prefer 60-minute or 90-minute episodes? Personally I think we can have mostly 60-minute episodes with select episodes being 90 minutes long (premiere, final, and episodes with "murder in the plain sight" or other twists)
Guess it's not a surprise to many of people here as within 5 years, the franchise has had like more than 30 versions and still growing. The article notes though that despite its growth, "The Traitors" is still heavily concentrated in the Europe where it originated with less than ten franchises outside of Europe. Hopefully we will get to see more non-European versions soon 🤞
2026 has seen one new country joining The Traitors' train which is Turkiye whose first season is currently airing. So far three other countries have mentioned that they will launch their own version of The Traitors this year - Serbia, Slovakia, and South Korea - although actual premiere dates for these versions are not confirmed yet. In addition, a country with existing franchise - India - is scheduled to produce a second franchise in other language (similar to Canada having two versions in different languages) this year.
Still under development are versions of The Traitors in 10 more countries; Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, Estonia, Indonesia, Malta, Mexico, Mongolia, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa. There is no confirmation yet when these versions will come on air, but I read news back in late January that Brazil will open their audition soon.
Out of these newcomers, do you have ones that you can't wait to watch? I'm personally curious about the South Korean version as I have watched several reality shows with the theme of deception and strategy like The Genius or The Devil's Plan (and I enjoy them so much), and I know South Korea usually doesn't play when it comes to the production quality of their variety/reality shows.
