The Traitors has taken the world by storm over the past few years. Since the Dutch original, De Verraders, first premiered in 2021, English-language versions have spread across global television, most notably with The Traitors (US) and The Traitors (UK). Below, we'll show you all of your watch options for both versions, including where to watch The Traitors online for free.

The reality series puts 20+ contestants, with a focus on reality TV stars, in a castle together. The contestants complete activities to add to the prize money that the winners will split between themselves. Among the contestants are a handful of "Traitors," whose entire purpose is to deceive the others (known as "The Faithfuls") by getting rid of a Faithful at night and tricking everyone else into banishing someone innocent, instead of the true culprit. If this sounds familiar, it's because it's a lot like the party game Mafia. 

2025 kicks off with a brand-new third season for both the UK and US versions. The UK version began airing on January 1, and the US version starts up on January 9. The cast for the US version makes Season 3 the most star-studded season to date, thanks to Bob the Drag Queen, Chrishell Stause, Rob Mariano (Boston Rob), Sam Asghari, and Tom Sandoval, among others.
