“Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree, while the Faithful try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game. If the Faithful contestants banish all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if a Traitor or Traitors makes it to the end, they will steal all the money.”

The Emmy-winning host details how he's "even more naughty and like an old trickster than ever" selecting the Traitors for season 3 of his Peacock reality competition hit.

Cumming was born not far from the Scottish Highlands filming location of TheTraitors in Aberfeldy, Perthshire, and grew up on the east coast of the country in a similarly expansive feudal estate, Panmure Estate, where his father was head forester.

"The Traitors" is back! The host of the hit Peacock show joined Access Hollywood’s "Housewives Nightcap" co-host Emily Orozco about the new season. Alan called out Tom Sandoval and revealed why housewives weren’t the brightest this season.

Peacock’s nail-biting, psychological murder mystery game is back for another season. The first three episodes of “ The Traitors ” Season 3 premiere Thursday, Jan. 9, at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock.

"The Traitors" host Alan Cumming says there are lots of "extra twists" in Season 3 of "The Traitors." He also says the most stressful part of the process.
