The Traitors NZ

The Traitors NZ is a New Zealand reality television series broadcast on Three, based on the Dutch series De Verraders. Following the premise of other versions of De Verraders, the show features a group of contestants participating in a social deduction game similar to Mafia or Werewolf, as they stay in a luxurious heritage manor. During their stay, a small group of contestants become the titular "Traitors," and must work together to eliminate the other contestants to win a grand prize, while the remaining contestants become "Faithful" and are tasked to discover and banish the Traitors by voting them out, to win the grand prize. The show premiered in 2023 and was originally hosted by Paul Henry for two seasons. After a year hiatus, the series returned in 2026 with comedian Madeleine Sami as the new host. The third season coincided with a revival of the Australian version, South Pacific Pictures for Network 10. Both productions are set to share the same location, props, and feature similar missions.
