Third time lucky for high-profile reality format, now with a favourite new host and location in 2026.
It’s official. A third season of The Traitors is coming to 10 -with Gretel Killeen as host.
As previously tipped it will be produced by NZ’s South Pacific Pictures in a grand historic manor in “an all-new location.”
Currently featuring on The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity, Gretel Killeen said: “As a writer and performer, I love a new experience and hosting the new Traitors gives me permission to explore an alternate version of myself in an imaginary place, full of challenging mischief.”
Tamara Simoneau, Vice President, Content, Paramount Australia said: “The Traitors format has fans obsessing over every twist and turn all over the world and it’s time we bring it back to Aussie screens with our very own version.
“There is no one better to bring it to life than the OG of groundbreaking, buzz-worthy reality shows, Gretel Killeen. We are assembling a brilliant cast of the most cunning and clever Aussies, but Gretel is poised to take them on a ride that’ll test them like never before and audiences are going to be on the edge of their seats.”
This marks the third roll of the dice for the series by 10, a format which has had considerable success -and awards- in other markets.
Previously produced by Endemol Shine Australia with Rodger Corser in the Southern Highlands, now it moves to a new production company, host and location.
It will screen in 2026.
Our devious contestants will work together to build a prize pot as ‘Faithfuls’, but a group of ‘Traitors’ will be hiding amongst them, scheming to eliminate players and turn them against each other. As paranoia and suspicion sets in, our Faithfuls will need to hold their nerve, trusting each other in daily votes to banish the Traitors and share the prize pot.
Can our Traitors remain undetected in a bloody brilliant game? Or will our fearless Faithfuls succeed in uncovering them before it’s too late?
Our stellar line up of Faithfuls and Traitors will be revealed soon.
