It's a three-season pickup for the competition series.

September 16, 2026

Peacock announced today that The Traitors has been renewed for three additional seasons that will take it to at least Season 8. The early pickup follows a record-breaking seven Emmy wins for its most recent season, which is the most ever in a single year for a competition series.

Set around a remote castle in the Scottish Highlands, the psychological competition brings together some of entertainment's most competitive reality stars and famous faces to play the ultimate murder mystery game. The contestants work together on a series of missions to build a prize fund worth up to $250,000. 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 one of the Faithful each night, 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.
