The second season of the US reality show ended in March 2024, leaving fans hungry for more conspiracies, betrayals and mysteries. Fortunately, the next part of The Traitors is on its way and you won’t have to wait much longer.
Based on the Danish ‘The Traitors’ format, the show has taken American audiences by storm. The first US season was a huge success in 2023, with the Scottish castle atmosphere and conniving contestants captivating the nation.
After the success of season 2 of The Traitors US, a new episode was only a matter of time. In February 2024, Peacock renewed the show for season 3 – here’s everything we know so far. You can also read why The Traitors UK is superior to this show and the celebrity edition of UK Traitors.
When will new episodes of The Traitors US season 3 be released?
Mark your calendars because season 3 of The Traitors US returns January 9, 2025 on Pauw. The film will air just over a week after the British series’ debut.

What is season 3 of The Traitors US about?
The formula of the show remains the same. An ancient castle in the Scottish Highlands brings together 21 participants to compete for a cash prize of up to $250,000. However, before they get it, they will have to face several physical and intellectual challenges to build up the pot.
What adds to the difficulty is that several ‘traitors’ hide in the team and plot against the ‘believers’ to take their money. Every night the villains choose one person to kill and be removed from the program. The group must deduce who the potential traitor could be and decide to banish that participant.
Just like the second season, this edition will only feature celebrities. Of course, we expect some brand new challenges and possibly even more twists to keep the game fresh.
