If the first season of “The Traitors” U..K was popular, season 2 was a bonafide smash hit. Now, Claudia Winkleman is back for season 3 with a new coven ready to lie and double-cross their way to the grand prize of up to £120,000.
Here's how you can watch "The Traitors" U.K. season 3 potentially for FREE online and from anywhere with a VPN.
