Peacock has ordered three more seasons of its Emmy Award-winning reality competition series The Traitors, in addition to the upcoming season, which premieres in 2027. Alan Cumming is set to return as host following his third consecutive win for Outstanding Host for a Reality Or Reality Competition Program.
Produced by Studio Lambert, the Peacock Original has also made Emmy history with a record-breaking seven wins for last season, the most ever in a single year for a competition series.
Peacock concluded its most recent season of The Traitors with its highest ratings to date, as viewership surged by 72% over the prior season. Since its January 8 premiere, the competition series garnered 8.1 billion minutes viewed and ranks as the #2 streaming original reality series of 2026 to date by minutes viewed behind only Peacock’s Love Island USA.
Before the next season of Peacock’s The Traitors, NBC will debut The Traitors: New Blood on Thursday, September 17 at 8 p.m. ET/PT with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock.
The Emmy Award-winning Peacock Original series The Traitors is a nail-biting psychological adventure in which treachery and deceit are the name of the game. A distinguished roster of famous faces, notable figures, top competitors, and reality icons play the ultimate murder mystery game.
Hosted by award-winning Alan Cumming at an ancient castle set deep in the Scottish Highlands, players work together on a series of exhilarating missions to build a substantial prize fund. Hidden amongst the Faithfuls are the Traitors, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithful and claim the prize for themselves.
Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree, while the Faithful try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game. If the Faithful banish all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if a Traitor (or Traitors) makes it to the end, they will steal all the money.
The show’s executive producers include Stephen Lambert, Mike Cotton, Sam Rees-Jones, Rosie Franks, Tim Harcourt, Jack Burgess, Darrell Olsen, and Alan Cumming.
