The Traitors season 2 is a US smash hit, and it could become Peacock's most successful show ever

Alan Cumming sits next to a stash of gold coins in The Traitors US season 2 on Peacock.

After dominating the UK TV scene in January, season 2 of The Traitors is proving just as successful – if not more so – in the US.

The reality TV sensation, which sees 22 contestants – dubbed the Faithful – compete for a cash prize by attempting to weed out the Traitors in their ranks, has been a huge hit in multiple territories. Indeed, season 2 of the UK edition drew in 6.5 million people as its game of deceit, misdirects, and backstabbing played out across its 12 episodes. That audience figure only accounts for those who tuned in up to episode six, too, so that total should increase once the BBC publishes its viewership data for episodes seven through 12.
