\n\tHost Karan Johar<\/a> has hailed the \u201cunpredictable nature\u201d of \u201cThe Traitors<\/a>\u201d India<\/a> Season 2, saying it is what keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, as the Indian reality series became Prime Video<\/a>\u2018s No. 1 non-English title worldwide in its launch week.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series, which premiered Aug. 13, also ranked among Prime Video\u2019s global Top 10 Original series. Prime Video credited the strong launch to enthusiastic fan response and critical reception for the season, which pits a group of \u201cInnocents\u201d against secretly chosen \u201cTraitors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cJudging by the response to the first three episodes, we can safely say audiences are thoroughly enjoying the dhokha [deception],\u201d Johar, the show\u2019s host and producer, said. \u201cAnd there\u2019s plenty more paranoia, plotting, betrayal, and, of course, some spectacularly bad decisions coming their way, which I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll love. Not just the Players, but everyone watching seems to have a theory, and with every elimination, those theories are thrown out the window. The unpredictable nature of the show is what keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, making the show as engaging as it is entertaining.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSet against the backdrop of Suryagarh Palace, the series follows 21 celebrity Players as the Innocents attempt to identify and expose the Traitors among them before being eliminated, while the Traitors work to deceive their fellow contestants and avoid detection.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe response to Season 2 of \u2018The Traitors\u2019 has been phenomenal, and witnessing the enthusiasm and engagement with which audiences have embraced this season is incredibly gratifying,\u201d said Nikhil Madhok, director and head of originals, Prime Video (SVOD) and Amazon MGM Studios India. \u201cWhen a show takes over the internet and sparks heated conversations on social media, with fans passionately choosing sides and rooting for their favorite Players, you know you\u2019ve got audiences hooked. The season has only just begun, and we\u2019re confident the love and excitement will only grow in the weeks to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe cast includes Aaditya Kulshreshth (Kullu), Abhishek Malhan (Fukraa Insaan), Ansh Chopra, Dalip Tahil, Harman Singha, Ikka Singh, Karan Singh Magic, Krystle D\u2019souza, Mallika Sherawat, Munawar Faruqui, Parul Gulati, Prish, Ranveer Brar, Rhea Chakraborty, Rida Tharana, Sahil Salathia, Shahneel Gill, Shalini Passi, Shweta Tiwari, Soundous Moufakir and Tanya Puri.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeason 2 is produced by Johar\u2019s Dharmatic Entertainment in collaboration with All3Media International, the distributor handling the Indian version of IDTV\u2019s format, which has won both BAFTA and Emmy honors. New installments drop weekly on Thursdays, exclusive to Prime Video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Host Karan Johar has hailed the \u201cunpredictable nature\u201d of \u201cThe Traitors\u201d India Season 2, saying it is what…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":865180,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49,48,75,1799,9058,1912,43045,348],"class_list":["post-865179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-india","tag-karan-johar","tag-prime-video","tag-the-traitors","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/865179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=865179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/865179\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/865180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=865179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=865179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=865179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
