    Prime Video renews The Traitors after a killer debut

    MUMBAI: Prime Video is doubling down on deception. After a wildly successful debut, the streamer has announced that season two of its reality thriller The Traitors is officially in development. Hosted by the ever-dramatic Karan Johar, the Indian adaptation of the BAFTA- and Emmy-winning format has gripped viewers across the country—and the numbers prove it.

    Since its 12 June premiere, the series has been watched in 88 per cent of India’s pin codes, turning Thursday nights into a frenzy of speculation, strategy, and social media theories. A star-studded cast, twist-laden gameplay, and Johar’s flair for theatrical tension have made The Traitors an unexpected pop-culture phenomenon.

    Based on a global format by IDTV, and distributed by All3Media International, The Traitors has been adapted in over 35 countries, becoming one of the fastest-growing reality formats globally. The Indian version, filmed in a dramatic Rajasthani palace, pits 20 celebrities—ranging from Raftaar and Uorfi Javed to Anshula Kapoor and Ashish Vidyarthi—against each other in a mind game of trust, betrayal and elimination.

    “It’s been incredibly rewarding to see The Traitors strike such a powerful chord with audiences across India,” said Prime Video India Director and Head of Originals Nikhil Madhok. “With its distinctive mix of tension, strategy and emotional honesty, brought to life by our versatile host, Karan Johar and a stellar line up of players who have brought their A-game to the show, the series has emerged as a true breakout. As we continue to shape a bold and diverse unscripted slate at Prime Video, The Traitors stands out as a marquee title that pushes the boundaries of the reality genre. Buoyed by the overwhelming response, we’re thrilled to begin work on Season Two and take the experience to the next level.”

    All3Media International EVP APAC Sabrina Duguet added, “We’re thrilled with the overwhelming reception and audience response to the Indian adaptation of The Traitors. Our fantastic collaboration with Prime Video resulted in delivering a version of the format that feels both fresh and true to its core, one that struck a real chord with viewers, who came for the thrill, drama, and their favorite celebrities, but stayed for the novelty, intrigue, and high entertainment quotient. Given the show’s rising popularity within just weeks of its launch, we’re delighted that Prime Video is greenlighting the development of season 2 of the much-loved format that’s sure to raise the bar even higher.”

    New episodes of The Traitors season one drop every Thursday at 8 PM, exclusively on Prime Video. If you haven’t been betrayed yet—you’re missing out.
