The Traitors (also known as The Traitors Australia outside of Australia) is an Australian reality television series broadcast on Network 10, based on the Dutch series De Verraders, which premiered on 16 October 2022.[1][2]

Following the premise of other versions of De Verraders, the show features a group of contestants participating in a game similar to the party game Mafia as they stay in a historic luxury hotel. During their stay, a small group of contestants become the titular "Traitors," and must work together to eliminate the other contestants to win a grand prize, while the remaining contestants become "Faithful" and are tasked to discover and banish the Traitors by voting them out, to win the grand prize.

The second season included both civilian and celebrity contestants.[3]

In October 2023, Network 10 announced that the series had not been renewed for 2024, though may return in the future.[4]
