The Traitors is set to return on January 1, 2025, for season 3, with Claudia Winkleman and 22 new contestants heading to the Scottish castle for the ultimate game of deceit.
Following rave reviews from fans of season 1 and 2, the show will return in the New Year to help entertain us throughout January during our post-Christmas funk, providing plenty of shocks, surprises and twists.
During the season, the contestants will attempt to win the huge cash prize by either (if they're a faithful) sussing out the traitors or (if they're a traitor) convincing the others they're a faithful until the final.
