Filming for the series is already underway, and the concept is as intriguing as ever. The show will gather 20 contestants in a stunning royal palace, where they will compete for a cash prize.
These players will engage in a series of challenging physical and psychological missions, all while trying to uncover the “traitors” hidden among them. The stakes are high, and tensions are sure to rise as alliances form and break throughout the competition.
Karan expressed his excitement about hosting this highly anticipated series. In a statement released by Prime Video, he shared his admiration for the original UK and US versions, which have captivated audiences around the world. “The Traitors is one of the most watched reality series, and its popularity is growing everywhere,” he said. “I have become an avid fan of the format and am in awe of Claudia Winkleman and Alan Cumming, who host their shows with such skill and suspense.
