In The Traitors, a cast of celebrities are all whisked away to a Scottish castle, where they have to undertake tasks to increase a big prize pot of money. However amongst them are Traitors, and after every episode, everyone has to vote out who they think the traitor is. These secret individuals need to keep their identity hidden, while getting the Faithful (non-Traitors) disqualified, to win the money for themselves.
The Traitors US is just one of many adaptations of the original Dutch show De Verraders, and the US version's original 2023 season was popular enough that another one has come along. This is out just at the same time as The Traitors UK season 2, and Netflix's rival The Trust.
Curious? Well, here's how to watch The Traitors US season 2.
How to watch The Traitors US in the US
The streaming home of the US version of The Traitors is Peacock, with the NBCUniversal streaming service producing the show as an original for its library.
You'll be able to binge the first chunk of episodes all in one go (if you want), because the first three will all be added to the streamer at the same time on Friday, January 12. After that, new episodes will be added weekly each Thursday, from the 18th.
You can also use Peacock to watch The Traitors Postmortem, an aftershow that'll have each episode land on Peacock when the main episode does (and on YouTube one day later).
Peacock costs $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year for its Premium plan, or $11.99 per month or $11.99 per year for its Premium Plus option, the main differences of the latter being the lack of ads on most shows and also some live cable channels streams.
