The show is all about trust and deception. It tests the contestants' brains, humour, and strategic prowess as they fight for a hefty cash prize. In a game of brutal twists and turns, cold-hearted deception, and relentless manipulation, the traitors must eliminate the innocents from the game by completing various physical and psychological tasks.

Karan Johar will be hosting The Traitors for Prime Video. In a statement to the press, KJo said, "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."

Karan Johar added, “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.”
