The Traitors follows a group of contestants referred to as the "Faithful" – but among them are the "Traitors," a group of contestants privately selected by Alan. Their goal is to eliminate the Faithfuls without being discovered, and claim the prize money for themselves, and each night the Traitors meet to decide which Faithful will be "murdered". The remaining Faithful contestants do not know who has been eliminated until the following day, when that person does not enter the castle for breakfast.
However, also each night, the entire group participates in the Banishment Ceremony – where the players discuss who they believe may be a Traitor, before voting as a group to remove one contestant.
The series recently won five Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program for Alan Cumming, and Outstanding Reality Competition Program. It has already been renewed for season five.
