The Traitors on Peacock: what time does season three release - and how to watch US version?

• The Traitors season three comes to Peacock TV very soon.
• Alan Cumming is back and will welcome a fresh batch of celebs into the Traitors castle.
• The release time and schedule for the season has been confirmed.

The Traitors is back and a whole new batch of contestants are set to step into the famed castle. Including a member of the extended British royal family - and plenty of reality TV royalty as well.

Alan Cumming will be inviting the fresh group of famous faces to compete for up to $250,000 (you legally have to say dollars in the Hollywood star’s Scottish accent).

Unlike its British cousin, which also films at the same location, The Traitors will feature an all-star cast for its third season. It initially featured a mix of famous faces and ordinary Joes for the first season, but has been exclusively celebs ever since.

Fans will not want to miss the new series - and fortunately the release timings have been confirmed. See the full cast for 2025. Here’s all you need to know:
