Storyline & Gameplay
The show follows contestants as they complete missions to build a prize pot of up to $100,000. Some players are secretly designated as “Traitors,” aiming to deceive and eliminate the “Faithful” contestants.
The Faithful must identify and banish the Traitors to win the prize, while Traitors must survive to the end to claim it for themselves. The format mirrors international versions, including The Traitors US and The Traitors UK.
Host & Judges
French-Canadian actress Karine Vanasse, known for her work in Cardinal, will return as host for Season 3. The show does not feature judges; gameplay relies on contestant interactions and eliminations.
