History[]

On February 13, 2023, it was announced that rights for The Traitors had been sold to three countries: Denmark, Finland and Germany. It was further reported that the All3Media subsidiary Tower Productions would produce the show for RTL in Germany.[1] During RTL's presentation for Screenforce Days on June 13, 2023, some details about the program were discussed: it would be hosted by veteran RTL personality Sonja Zietlow and feature 16 celebrity contestants 'from the worlds of drama, music, sports and journalism' competing in the Château de Béguin, of which three would be selected as Traitors at the start. [2] A sales deck pitched to potential advertisers further revealed that the program would be broadcast over six episodes, with a maximum prize of €50,000 for contestants.[3]

On March 13, 2024, a renewal was officially confirmed, with the possibility of a third streaming-exclusive season on RTL's streaming platform RTL+ also under consideration.[4]
