“It’s Saturday night on Broadway,” he wrote in the caption, sharing a popular phrase from the New York City theater community, “and Lala and I are being treacherous.”
The Traitors is based on the Dutch series De Verraders. The first season premiered on Peacock in January 2023, with season 2 debuting in January 2024. If they keep to the same schedule, season 3 is expected to air in January 2025.
In season 1, the cast was a mix of regular people and reality stars, but they switched to an all-reality star cast in season 2.
