The US version of Traitors will air on the BBC and fans are excited
The show has been a massive hit in the UK


If you binge-watched the UK version of the Traitors and you're not sure what to do with yourself while waiting for the next season of You, then worry not, as the US version will hit BBC iPlayer from tomorrow.
Yep, you read that right. The reality show, which originated in the Netherlands, has been a huge success all over the world - particularly in the UK, with over 5 million people watching the first episode.
Now the US version, hosted by the icon that is Alan Cumming, will be shown on BBC iPlayer - and fans of the show are excited.
Taking to Twitter after BBC iPlayer announced the news, fans showed their excitement by saying it was 'amazing' and 'exciting'.
However, some fans said the same thing about the UK version...
🚨 O come all ye Faithfuls... this is NOT a drill 🚨 The Traitors US is coming to @BBCiPlayer - tomorrow, Friday 13 January!And you'll be able to watch on @bbcthree and @BBCOne very soon too...More info ➡️ https://t.co/Hp3KhT0LGn pic.twitter.com/gZDZRVy2zOJanuary 12, 2023
The UK version of the show, which aired late last year, was hosted by Claudia Winkelman and saw twenty-two strangers complete several missions to be in the running to win £120k.
However, planted in the team are several traitors, who have to fool the 'faithfuls' that they are on the same side.
