The Traitors,Claudia Winkleman,The Traitors is a new reality competition series built on strategy and suspicion, filmed in the Scottish Highlands. A team of players will compete in a series of missions. The more missions they win, the bigger the prize pot. However, amongst the players lie the ‘Traitors’. The Traitors will meet in secret and decide who to eliminate of their fellow players known as the ‘Faithfuls’. The aim of the Traitors is to stay undetected until the end of the game. Whilst trying to avoid being eliminated, the Faithfuls must figure out who is a Traitor and vote them out so they can share the money between the remaining Faithfuls. However, if any Traitors make it to the end, they will steal the prize money for themselves. Throughout the season, there will be twists, turns and surprises for the players. A game of trust and treachery… do you have what it takes to play? The Traitors is produced for the BBC by Studio Lambert Associates.,Studio Lambert Associates,Mark Mainz
