With The Traitors exploding in popularity and international versions popping up around the world, I’ve been expecting Peacock to announce the reality competition program would start filming two seasons a year instead of one. That’s been the Survivor model for a long time, and it would make sense for Traitors to double down, given how buzzy the show has gotten. Well, that announcement finally came yesterday, though the specifics are a little different than I would have guessed.
We are getting two seasons of The Traitors next year in The United States, but the second one isn’t going to air on Peacock. It’ll be broadcast on traditional network television by NBC, and more interestingly, it’ll feature civilian contestants instead of celebrities. That’s what the British version does, and it should help solve the biggest problem the US version of The Traitors has.
