The Traitors: Karan Johar’s High-Stakes Reality Show Premieres June 12 on Prime Video

Get ready for a reality show like no other. The Traitors, the Indian version of the internationally acclaimed format, is all set to premiere on Prime Video from June 12, 2025, with new episodes dropping every Thursday at 8 PM. Hosted by the flamboyant Karan Johar, this high-stakes psychological game blends suspense, strategy, betrayal, and celebrity drama into one gripping package.

What is The Traitors All About?

Unlike typical reality shows, The Traitors thrives on deception. The show assembles 20 celebrities at the lavish Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer for a game that challenges trust and survival instincts. But there’s a dark twist—among these contestants lurk a few “Traitors”, secretly picked by the host. Their goal? To eliminate the “Faithfuls” without revealing their identities.

Each episode unfolds with:

• Daytime missions to build the prize money.

• Nighttime eliminations, where Traitors secretly “murder” one Faithful.

• Round Table voting sessions, where players attempt to unmask the Traitors.

If the Faithfuls succeed in banishing all the Traitors, they split the prize money. But if even one Traitor survives until the end, they take home the entire amount.
