NBC is gearing up to bring us a new season of psychological reality entertainment with their upcoming adaptation of The Traitors. This time around, it’s going to be a civilian-led affair, featuring everyday people rather than celebrities. Exciting stuff!

The show, hosted by Alan Cumming, will start production in 2026 in the stunning Scottish Highlands, where all the action will unfold. If you’ve been following the series on Peacock or the BBC, you’ll be thrilled to know that the format is staying true to its roots, thanks to Studio Lambert, the production company behind the US, UK, and Peacock versions.

It’s fascinating to think that the format for The Traitors originated all the way in the Netherlands, created by IDTV and RTL. The American versions of the show are in good hands with executive producers like Alan Cumming and his talented team. In fact, the latest season on Peacock has been a massive hit, claiming the number one spot for unscripted series in the US. And get ready for more, because the fourth season is set to premiere in 2026.

For those who aren’t familiar, The Traitors pits 20 contestants against each other in a game of truth and deception. The challenge?
