Notable celebrities identified as the latest individuals suspected of betrayal
Last year, RTL+ debuted "The Traitors" to significant acclaim. This engaging show is set to return for a second season, and RTL has shared some of the cast members for this year's edition, which is based in Cologne. Included in the lineup are two familiar faces from RTL's entertainment sphere.
The original version of "The Traitors" featured well-known personalities like Claude Oliver-Rudolph, hip-hop artist Sabrina Setlur, moderator Ulrike von der Groeben, "Tatort" actress Christine Urspruch, "Princess Charming" Irina Schlauch, and handball player Pascal Hens. In the end, pop stars Anna-Carina Woitschack and Vincent Gross emerged as the victors.
RTL has also revealed whom we can expect in this year's season. Former "Bachelorette" contestants Gerda Lewis and Jessica Haller, along with influencer Helge Mark, will be taking part in the show when its host, Sonja Zietlow, welcomes the 16 contestants on October 10.
Halloween-themed Episode on Free TV
In a surprising twist, RTL revealed that the very first episode will not only be available on RTL+ but will also be broadcast on Free TV at 8:15 PM on the same day. The Cologne-based network has confirmed that the premiere episode and the following one will both be streamable on RTL+ simultaneously. Subsequent episodes will be released weekly, with the season consisting of a total of eight episodes.
The essence of "The Traitors" lies in 16 well-known individuals being gathered in a castle. Among them are hidden traitors, secretly selected and charged with eliminating their fellow participants one by one in order to claim a cash prize of up to 50,000 euros. The non-traitors attempt to unmask the traitors, creating a dynamic and engaging gameplay experience. What distinguishes this show from others is that, unlike the celebrities, the audience is aware of the traitors' identities, which allows viewers to participate in the participants' speculations and strategies.
The second season of the highly praised entertainment series, "The Traitors," will feature some familiar faces from RTL's entertainment sphere, enhancing the viewer's experience. Among those returning, influencer Helge Mark will be participating once again, adding a fresh perspective to the game.
RTL has announced that the Halloween-themed premiere episode of "The Traitors" will be aired on both RTL+ and Free TV at 8:15 PM, offering a unique opportunity for viewers to enjoy the show on multiple platforms.
