Thanks to host Alan Cumming's one-liners and its many twists, Peacock's treacherous reality TV series The Traitors has become an appointment-watch phenomenon. The Mafia-evoking competition gathers dozens of reality stars against each other for a chance at a $250,000 prize pot—awarded to the innocent Faithfuls or the backstabbing Traitors.

Season 2, which aired in early 2024, saw lifelong friendships tested, rivalries between Bravo-lebrities and competition series champs (from Survivor, Big Brother, and The Challenge) form, and enduring memes born. Now that all has been revealed, the question on every fan's mind is when the Round Table will open again. Read on for everything we know about The Traitors season 3 so far.

Has 'The Traitors' been renewed for season 3?

Yes! Host Alan Cumming announced the happy news at the end of the season 2 reunion on March 8, assuring viewers that Peacock's reality hit would continue for "another season of famous faces, whispered secrets, and heart-stopping betrayals is on the horizon.” Add on another rotation of fabulous ensembles for the intrepid host.

When will 'The Traitors' season 3 come out?

New episodes are expected to arrive on Peacock in January 2025, as the show's first two seasons premiered in January 2023 and 2024, respectively. That seems on track, considering The Traitors entered pre-production in early March.

Watch On

In a March interview with Variety, executive producer Mike Cotton hinted that the cast chemistry will be "really important" for season 3.

"I liked the fact that [the season 2 cast] were from different walks of life, so I think we want to do the same this time around. We are getting some people approach us, but also we want to think outside the box," he told the outlet. "The good thing about The Traitors is that I think we surprise people with some slightly different casting. I don’t think anyone would have expected John Bercow from the U.K. to be on season 2, but actually, he added his own thing to it. I think we have to try and do the same in season 3."

However, the series likely won't lean on the same casting surprise they used for season 2 when season 1 contestant and Below Deck star Kate Chastain returned for a second round. When asked whether another former contestant could return for season 3, he told the outlet, "There’s a chance. I will say I also kind of think we did that with Kate. We brought Kate back, let’s try something new. I’d love to surprise people in a different way with a different casting twist of some sort."
