After the success of the Hindi version of 'The Traitors' for two seasons, Prime Video is now bringing the Telugu version of this international reality franchise. The makers have officially announced 'The Traitors Telugu' through social media.
Entertainment News: The popular international reality show franchise 'The Traitors' is now going to start its new innings among the Telugu audience. Prime Video has announced 'The Traitors Telugu'. The special thing about this show is that famous South Cinema actor Teja Sajja will be seen as the host in it. This will be his debut as a reality show host.
The release date of the show has also been revealed. The first episode of 'The Traitors Telugu' will stream on Prime Video on 15 October 2026. This will be a 10 episode series, which will be released in four weeks. New episodes of the show will be available to viewers every Thursday at 12 noon IST.
Mind game will be played between 20 contestants
A total of 20 participants from different regions and backgrounds will take part in 'The Traitors Telugu'. The entire game of the show will revolve around trust, strategy and deception. Contestants will have to play in an environment where trusting someone can sometimes be an advantage for them and sometimes a reason for loss. The identity of some players in the game will be kept secret as 'Traitor's', while the rest of the participants will play the role of 'Innocents'.
The biggest challenge before the Innocents will be to identify the traitors hidden among them. For this, they will have to constantly keep an eye on the behavior, statements and strategies of their colleagues.
Streaming on Prime Video from October 15
According to Prime Video, the show will stream exclusively in Telugu language from October 15. Viewers will also get the option of English subtitles with the show. New episodes of this four-week long series will be released every Thursday at 12 noon. The show is produced by SOL Productions. After the response to the Hindi version of 'The Traitors', now this format is being taken to the South Indian audience through its Telugu adaptation.
The Traitors is part of the global franchise
'The Traitors' is not a reality show limited to India only. It has reached audiences in many countries as an international entertainment franchise with local adaptations. The basic concept of the game in its various versions remains based on trust, secret identities, alliances and strategy. The Telugu version will also retain the original game format but will be flavored with local entertainment and Telugu culture. Along with friendship and relationships, the show will also test the strategic thinking of the players.
