What is The Traitors? What makes this Prime Video Reality Show a Must-Watch? This and more questions about the upcoming Karan Johar-hosted reality show will be answered here. 
What is The Traitors about? 
Imagine working alongside your friends, colleagues or neighbours you laugh with, plan with, even trust — only to discover one of them is secretly plotting your downfall. Welcome to The Traitors, Prime Video’s upcoming new reality series, premiering June 12, with new episodes every Thursday at 8 PM.
An Indian adaptation of the smash-hit global phenomenon that’s won BAFTAs, Emmys, and broken friendships in over 30 countries is now landing in India. Hosted by the ever-charismatic Karan Johar, this cutthroat game of dhokha promises sass, suspense, and mind games like never before. 

To understand how the game works
20 players gather in a majestic palace, unaware that hidden among them are secret Traitors chosen by the host. These Traitors have one mission — to sabotage the group and eliminate the `Innocents` one by one, all while keeping their identities concealed. During the day, the players work together to complete missions and build a massive prize pot.
But by night, the Traitors strike in secret, “murdering” one innocent at a time. Each episode ends with a tense `round table` discussion, where the players vote to eliminate someone they suspect of being a Traitor — but are they making the right choice, or falling into the Traitors’ trap? If the innocents manage to unmask all the Traitors, they share the prize. But if even one Traitor remains undetected, that player takes it all
Why this is not your typical reality show
This isn’t about physical strength or raw talent — it’s a battle of instincts, wit, nerve, and how good one is at deception. Every smile could be a lie, every alliance a trap. The most dangerous weapon isn’t strategy — it’s trust.
Why you can`t miss the show
Already a global sensation, The Traitors has captivated audiences worldwide with its razor-sharp gameplay, shocking twists, and addictive storytelling. The Indian edition takes it up several notches — think full-celebrity cast, palace intrigue, stunning visuals, explosive secrets, and Karan Johar’s signature flair leading the game.
Get ready for intense drama and fights as friendships shatter and tempers flare. Loyalties will shift, alliances will crumble, and the tension will explode both on and off screen. It’s more than a reality show — it’s a pulse-pounding thriller where betrayal is the only way to survive.
Prepare for nail-biting suspense, endless speculation, and conversations that won’t stop. This June, experience reality entertainment like never before. Because in The Traitors, trusting the wrong person could cost you everything. Produced by BBC Studios India Productions, The Traitors is set to premiere exclusively on Prime Video from June 12, with new episodes every Thursday at 8 PM.
