Meanwhile, NBC's 'The Traitors: New Blood' has just debuted, featuring everyday Americans competing for the prize. New episodes air Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and stream the next day on Peacock.

Produced by Studio Lambert, Peacock's 'The Traitors' continues to be one of television's most acclaimed reality competition series, with the most recent season earning a record-breaking seven Emmy Award nominations and wins, including Outstanding Reality Competition Program, Outstanding Host for a Reality Or Reality Competition Program, Outstanding Directing for a Reality Program, Outstanding Production Design for a Variety Or Reality Series, Outstanding Cinematography for a Reality Program, Outstanding Costumes for Variety, Nonfiction Or Reality Programming, and Outstanding Picture Editing for a Structured Reality or Reality Competition Program.

Peacock concluded its most recent season of 'The Traitors' with its biggest ratings-to-date, as viewership surged +72% over the prior season. Since its January 8 premiere, the competition series garnered 8.1 billion minutes viewed and ranks as the #2 streaming original reality series of 2026 to-date by minutes viewed.

As previously announced, Peacock has renewed 'The Traitors' for an additional three seasons. All previous episodes of the series are exclusively available to stream on Peacock.

The Emmy Award-winning Peacock Original series 'The Traitors' is a nail-biting psychological adventure in which treachery and deceit are the name of the game. A distinguished roster of famous faces, notable figures, top competitors, and reality icons play the ultimate murder mystery game. Hosted by award-winning actor Alan Cumming at an ancient castle set deep in the Scottish Highlands, players work together on a series of exhilarating missions to build a substantial prize fund. Hidden amongst the Faithful are the Traitors, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithful and claim the prize for themselves. Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree, while the Faithful try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game. If the Faithful banish all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if a Traitor (or Traitors) makes it to the end, they will steal all the money.
