All about The Traitors franchise
Speaking about the new season, Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals, Prime Video India, said the overwhelming response to the first season helped establish The Traitors as one of the platform’s biggest reality franchises. “The response to the first season exceeded all expectations. It became a cultural moment and transformed the reality genre with its unique mix of strategy, psychological gameplay and entertainment. With Season 2, the stakes are higher, the gameplay is sharper and the drama is even more intense. We’re excited to bring audiences another thrilling season with Karan Johar returning as host,” he said.
The Traitors India show was first premiered on the OTT platform Amazon Prime Video on June 12, 2025, and concluded on July 3, 2025. It was hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar. The Indian version is based on the Dutch series De Verraders.
Following the premise of De Verraders, the show features a group of contestants participating in a game similar to Mafia or Werewolf, where an informed minority (known as the "Traitors") must eliminate an uninformed majority (known as the "Innocents") to win.
