BBC bags The Traitors Australia

Remaining 100% faithful to the worldwide TV hit, the BBC has bagged the Australian version of The Traitors. The Traitors Australia will see a group of contestants arrive at a historic luxury hotel in the Southern Highlands as Faithful contestants – hoping to share a prize fund worth up to A$250,000. Among them are the Traitors – a group of four contestants selected by host Rodger Corser on the first day, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithful’s and claim the prize for themselves. Should the Faithful contestants eliminate all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund. If a Traitor makes it to the end, they steal the money. Nasfim Haque, Head of Content for BBC Three says: “The Traitors is an addictively fiendish format and I am so pleased that viewers can get their summer fix of treachery and suspicion as we head Down Under for the Australian version of the show on BBC Three and iPlayer.” The Traitors Australia will land as a 12-episode boxset on BBC iPlayer at 6am on Sunday 9th July and will also be broadcast on BBC Three. The Traitors Australia is the third version of the series available to BBC viewers, following the double-BAFTA award winning first UK season of The Traitors produced by Studio Lambert and hosted by Claudia Winkleman and The Traitors US, both of which are available to watch now on BBC iPlayer. For those who think they have what it takes to play, applications are still open for the second season of the UK version of The Traitors.
