The Traitors' Concept
Twenty players gather in a palace, but some of them are secret Traitors picked by the host (Karan Johar). Their goal? To quietly take down the Innocents without getting caught.
During the day, everyone works together on challenges to grow the prize money. But when night falls, the Traitors make their move and secretly "murder" one Innocent.
At the end of each day, the group meets for a Round Table vote, trying to figure out who the Traitors are. But are they really picking the bad guys, or falling for the tricks?
If the Innocents manage to find all the Traitors, they split the prize. But if even one Traitor stays hidden till the end, that Traitor wins everything.
The Traitors will be available for streaming on Prime Video starting June 9. A new episode will drop every Thursday at 8 PM.
