Karan Johar is back — and this time, he’s not pouring coffee, but uncovering secrets. After charming millions with Koffee With Karan and adding drama to Bigg Boss OTT, Karan takes on a darker, more intense role as host of The Traitors, a new reality show that dives deep into the themes of betrayal and trust.
Premiering June 12, 2025, at 8 PM on Prime Video, The Traitors promises to deliver nail-biting drama, psychological warfare, and thrilling twists. Produced by BBC Studios India, the show is an adaptation of the BAFTA-winning UK format that’s already a global sensation.
What Is The Traitors All About?
Set in the majestic Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, the show brings together 20 celebrity contestants who must work together — or betray each other — to win the ultimate title and a rumored prize of ₹1 crore.
But here’s the catch: not everyone is playing fair. Hidden among the players are the actual “traitors,” whose goal is to secretly eliminate others. Each night brings a twist, as trust is tested and betrayal lurks around every corner.
According to the show's official description:
“Here, 20 players will openly betray each other for daily eliminations to compete for a grand prize. Hidden amongst the innocent players are the traitors who are out to murder each night. In this ruthless game, trust is rare and betrayal is everywhere.”
