The reality TV sensation that swept the country is set to do it all over again. Following the runaway success of immersive gameshow The Traitors, the BBC is to screen its 10-episode-long US version – hosted by Alan Cumming.

The US edition will see 20 contestants head to the same Scottish castle as previously featured in the UK version of the reality series. A $250,000 prize pot will be communally up for grabs to contestants known as “faithfuls”, while a series of “traitors” attempt to deceive them and take the money for themselves.
