Soon, becoming a back-stabbing turncoat won’t just be for the rich and famous, as Peacock‘s hit show The Traitors is set to debut an all-new civilian version of the competition on NBC.
The Traitors has thrived on the streaming service with an all-celebrity cast, delivering drama, betrayals, and tense roundtable banishments. Now, the series aims to replicate that success by bringing in everyday contestants eager to scheme, manipulate, and outwit one another, all while competing in elaborate challenges on their way to the grand prize. That version, titled New Blood, will premiere on NBC in September, taking over the Thursday 8/7c time slot.
“We’re excited to bring along The Traitors‘ highly addictive fan base as we discover the next generation of legendary gamers and schemers,” said Sharon Vuong, Executive Vice President of Unscripted Programming at NBCUniversal Entertainment. “With our resident host and gameplay master of ceremonies, Alan Cumming, on board to introduce complete strangers to new epic missions and twisted gameplay, this new version for NBC offers a unique opportunity for the cast and audience to meet each other for the first time, and we know it will be incredible to watch.”
