The game will feature 20 players arriving at a royal palace, hoping to win the accumulated cash bounty that is amassed through various physical and psychological missions carried out by them. The players will need to identify “traitors” among them before they are eliminated.
Taking another hosting duty, Karan Johar said in a press note shared by the Prime Video team, “The Traitors is one of the most watched reality series, with its popularity growing all over the world as the audience laps up the riveting drama and entertainment. Having watched the UK and US versions, I have become an avid fan of the format and am in awe of Claudia Winkleman and Alan Cumming, who are so marvelous in the way they host their respective shows with poise yet suspenseful theatrics that leave you at the edge of your seat. Building on the very successful relationship with Prime Video, I am thrilled to take on the mantle as the host for the Indian adaptation of the show. And the 20 players on the show are in for an unforgettable and unpredictable journey, especially with me operating in the shadows.”
