A new season of the much-anticipated reality series, The Traitors New Zealand, is premiering for British viewers on Monday, June 16, at 8 pm on BBC Three. Enthusiastic fans have praised this season as one of the best, with many claiming it surpasses the inaugural New Zealand season and offers a thrilling international twist.
In this season, twenty-two ordinary New Zealanders join host Paul Henry at Claremont Manor, nestled at the foot of Mount Horrible, competing for a chance to win up to $100,000. As the game unfolds, tensions rise and alliances are tested, with participants quickly becoming wary of each other’s motives. The suspense kicks off with the Traitors immediately beginning their manipulative games, leading to questions over who will be the first victim among the Faithful.
Fans are buzzing on social media, expressing their eagerness for the new season. Comments like “Finally more Traitor content!” and “Excellent news” reflect the excitement surrounding this revival of the franchise.
British audiences have had to wait nearly a year since the second season originally aired in New Zealand on July 1, 2024. This premiere follows the conclusion of the UK’s third season in January, with reports revealing that both the UK and US versions have been renewed for more episodes.
Furthermore, a new UK Celebrity Traitors season is set to debut this fall, featuring celebrities including Alan Carr, Cat Burns, Jonathan Ross, Kate Garraway, Stephen Fry, and Tom Daley.
