Come and play, if you dare.

After becoming a smash hit on Peacock, the reality competition series The Traitors is coming to NBC, and you can be part of the action. On August 14, Host Alan Cumming announced during 2025’s Televerse conference that a civilian version of the show is going into production in 2026. This means that there’s a cast search happening right now for potential players to become a Traitor or a Faithful. Yes, you don’t have to be a celebrity to play!

In the show, contestants work together on a series of exhilarating missions to build a prize fund worth up to $250,000. Hidden amongst the Faithful are the Traitors, whose goal is to move through the game undetected, 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 contestants 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.

“The Traitors format has proven itself as one of the most gripping and talked-about reality competition shows in the world,” said Stephen Lambert, CEO of Studio Lambert, the producers of both the Peacock and NBC versions said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to be working with NBC to open up the experience to a new group of civilian players, whose stories and strategies will make the gameplay even more unpredictable – and, we hope, even more addictive for viewers.”

When the show format first moved to the US from the UK, it had a mix of everyday people and reality TV stars, but incorporated more stars as it went along, to amazing results. By the third season, it was the #1 unscripted series in the U.S.

The Traitors Season 3 led this year’s Critics Choice Real TV Awards, earning Best Competition Series, Best Ensemble Cast in an Unscripted Series, and Best Show Host for Cumming. The second season of The Traitors took home four Critics Choice Real TV Awards; two Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Host for a Reality Competition Series for Cumming; a PGA Award for Outstanding Producer of Game & Competition Television; and the TCA Award for Outstanding Achievement in Reality.
