'The Traitors: New Blood' premieres with a traitor from Boston
The season adds an all-civilian cast and a new accomplice twist, with $15,000 added to the prize pot for each banished Traitor.
- On Thursday, Sept. 17, NBC premiered 'The Traitors: New Blood' with 22 civilian competitors at an ancient Scottish castle, marking the franchise's first all-civilian cast on network television.
- Host Alan Cumming tasks the Faithful with identifying hidden Traitors while the Traitors secretly eliminate players nightly; a new $15,000 bonus per successful banishment incentivizes the hunt.
- Pilot Tomica Adams and funeral director Joe Vanella were selected as the first Traitors and immediately murdered lawyer Kim Daily, who had been masquerading as a college basketball coach.
- Following Madeline Kostopulos's banishment, Adams and Vanella selected marketing manager Katie Fites and MLB analyst Xavier Scruggs as accomplices to compete for the final Traitor position.
- The accomplices must retrieve death warrants hidden in plain sight of the Faithful; the winner joins the Traitors while the loser faces elimination next week.
