The Traitors Civilian Edition Coming to NBC in 2026

by

 A new civilian edition of The Traitors is coming to NBC. 

NBC is bringing a new twist to The Traitors, launching an all-new civilian version of the Emmy Award-winning competition reality series best known for its strategic gameplay and hidden saboteurs.

Unlike the celebrity-focused version on Peacock, which has been been renewed through Season 4, this new edition will see Alan Cumming return as host, welcoming everyday people to the now-iconic castle in the Scottish Highlands. There, contestants will face challenges, missions, and the ultimate question: Are you a Faithful… or a Traitor?

Applications for the NBC edition are now open at TheTraitorsUS.com.

Sharon Vuong, Executive Vice President, Unscripted Programming, NBCUniversal Entertainment:

“We’re excited to bring along ‘The Traitors’ highly addictive fan base as we discover the next generation of legendary gamers and schemers. With our resident host and gameplay master of ceremonies, Alan Cumming, on board to introduce complete strangers to new epic missions and twisted gameplay, this new version for NBC offers a unique opportunity for the cast and audience to meet each other for the first time and we know it will be incredible to watch.”

Stephen Lambert, CEO, Studio Lambert:

“‘The Traitors’ format has proven itself as one of the most gripping and talked-about reality competition shows in the world. We’re thrilled to be working with NBC to open up the experience to a new group of civilian players, whose stories and strategies will make the gameplay even more unpredictable — and, we hope, even more addictive for viewers.”

Production on the NBC civilian edition will begin in 2026.
