“The Traitors” season 3 trailer offers your first look at the new cast and Alan Cumming's new wardrobe

Peacock just dropped your first look at this coming season, premiering Jan. 9 with a three-episode premiere.

The Traitors was the breakout hit of 2024, becoming the No. 1 unscripted series in the U.S. across all streaming platforms during launch week, according to Nielsen, and snatching the Emmy for Outstanding Reality Competition Program as well as one for host Cumming.

"It's great to see that working — with viewers' interest in the show — so that when we come back to it each season, we kind of up the ante a bit more."
