Quote:
The Traitors is a new reality competition series built on strategy and suspicion, filmed in the Scottish Highlands. A team of players will compete in a series of missions, the more missions they win, the bigger the prize pot.
However, amongst the players lie the ‘Traitors’. The Traitors will meet in secret and decide who to eliminate from their fellow players known as a ‘Faithful’. The aim of the Traitors is to stay undetected until the end of the game.
Whilst trying to avoid being eliminated, the Faithfuls must figure out who is a Traitor and vote them out so they can take the prize money for themselves. If a Traitor makes it to the end, they are in with a chance of taking home the cash prize. Throughout the season, there will be twists, turns and surprises for the players.

and apparently they've already started preparing for second series
Claudia Winkleman the host of this new upcoming BBC reality game show
That’s before an air date has even been revealed for the debut episodes of the intense psychological game in which players have to complete tasks while working out who they can trust.
A TV insider said: “Rumours are Beeb bosses are so impressed with the finished product they’ve already got wheels in motion with the production company.
“And host Claudia has also been blown away by the experience of making the 12-parter, so is likely to return to front the new season too.
“It’s unusual for executives to be so excited by a programme that they take this step. It’s certainly a vote of confidence in the format.”
Traitors, which could air as early as this autumn, sees the players work together to complete spectacular physical and mental missions.
If they are successful, they add money to a prize pot which is worth up to £120,000.
But to win the cash, players must survive to the end of the game – they must avoid being ‘murdered’ or ‘banished’.
And central to the process is Claudia selecting a handful of the contestants to be the traitors who really stir things up along the way.
The format is based on the Dutch version of the show which Claudia said she: “Couldn’t stop watching.”
She added: “The fact that the BBC version is set in a castle in Scotland and the producers want me to wear tweed meant I was all in.”
I think she’d better get her tweeds dusted off again.
