SPOILERS BELOW!The BBC’s hit reality TV show The Traitors’ third season has gone out with a bang. The murder mystery game set in a Scottish castle won an audience of 7.4million viewers, according to BARB audience figures supplied by overnights.tv.
This is well up on last year’s finale, which drew an audience of 6.9million. The show, made by production company Studio Lambert, debuted in 2022 and sees a group of participants (producers prefer the word “players” over “contestants”) holed up in a Scottish castle.
A small number are selected by producers as Traitors who must try to bump off their housemates to secure a prize of up to £120,000.
