Production on the fifth seasons of The Traitors UK and The Traitors US appear to be underway.
The civilian UK series is expected to film back-to-back with the US celebrity version in the next month (August/September), and the crew has been spotted getting an epic mission ready.
Warning: spoiler ahead
A leaked on-set photo shared by the Instagram account @realitytv_fan reveals a towering, dark-hooded figure (very Traitors-coded) standing tall on a concrete pedestal amid the Scottish Highlands.
Yellow diggers, construction gear, and a portable toilet can also be spotted in the behind-the-scenes snap.
What exactly the towering Traitor figure will be used for is unclear, so we’ll just have to wait and see.
Traitors Fans Are Abuzz
Reddit’s The Traitors community lit up over the sneak peek.
“That statue is pure nightmare fuel – Claudia’s about to make someone regret everything,” one fan joked.
“Diggers means BIG missions this year, give us the drama,” another commented.
Traitors season is upon us
Both The Traitors UK and US Season 5 are set to air in early 2027.
But fear not! Fans have both The Traitors: New Blood and The Celebrity Traitors Series 2 to enjoy before then, with the former debuting in September and the latter in October.
