BBC launches live spin-off version of The Traitors ahead of series three return
The Traitors is returning for its third season and now there is a new spin off for fans to get stuck into.
The Traitors, presented by Claudia Winkleman, is set to return to the BBC and after two hit seasons it has a huge audience of viewers keen to get their next hit of the drama filled reality show.
With the third season set to air next month, fans of the BBC show can also get their own experience of the show with a new interactive experience in London in 2025.
Set to open Spring 2025, The Traitors: Live Experience will open its doors in London, offering players the unique opportunity to be plunged into the heart of the drama as they take part in the UK’s first ever playable experience based on the BAFTA and Emmy award-winning TV show.
The live experience sees players thrust into the suspenseful world of the hit TV show, featuring recognisable gameplay rom the BBC show.
Players will experience a blindfolded Traitors selection, several heart- racing missions that will test both physical and mental endurance, as well as ample opportunity for the Traitors to strategise whether to murder or recruit from the rest of the group.
Host of The Traitors on the BBC Claudia Winkleman said: “I am extremely excited for The Traitors: Live Experience to open in London next year.
“I can’t wait for players to immerse themselves in their own drama, strategy and the deception.
“They’ll love the game and should definitely expect twists. Please can you add an evil cackle here?”
Last month it was revealed that the BBC’s Celebrity Traitors line up had confirmed journalist Robert Peston will join the show.
Robert is expected to join Clare Balding, Tom Daley and Stephen Fry on the hit-show spin-off.
A TV source said: “Poaching Peston for Traitors shows real ingenuity on the BBC’s part.
“And it’s a huge insight into the kind of show Celebrity Traitors will be.
“Casting is still under way, but this won’t be reality stars and the usual faces.
“It will be genuinely interesting names, doing the kind of TV they’re unlikely to enrol in again.
“Peston will be relying on his knowledge of Westminster back-stabbing to bring his A-game to Celebrity Traitors.”
Filming is expected to begin early next year.
A Traitors spokesperson said: “This is a game of lies and deception, so it would be foolhardy for any Faithful to speculate before it begins.”
