What is The Traitors? How does it work?

For those who haven’t come across The Traitors, it sees a group of contestants sent to a castle in Scotland where they complete tasks to build up their prize pot. However, amongst them are Traitors, who kill off a member of the group each night. If the Faithful can’t root them out and banish them from the castle, it’s the treacherous group who come away with the money.

When is The Traitors season 3 finale?

The final episode of season 3 will air on Thursday, March 6, 2025. There will also be a reunion special; it’s expected to air directly after the finale.
