It’s “a murder mystery to die for.”
Peacock’s latest reality series,The Traitors, will see betrayals like never before as 20 devious contestants enter an intense new psychological competition. The first trailer for the series shows the large cast — which includes 10 well-known reality stars — competing for a quarter of a million dollars. But there is a mystery afoot as three of the contestants are actually “traitors.”
What unfolds is a game full of deception and accusations as the competitors try to unmask the traitors.
“You will need the strength of a liar and the stealth of a fox,” hostAlan Cummingtells the contestants before later adding, “In this game, the person sitting next to you may smile and smile … and be a villain.”
