NBC will premiere “The Traitors: New Blood,” a new version of its Emmy-winning competition franchise that marks the first U.S. season built entirely around everyday contestants, on Sept. 17. The series, hosted by Alan Cumming, will premiere with a two-hour episode at 8 p.m. EDT on NBC, with subsequent installments streaming the following day on Peacock. Unlike previous editions that featured reality television personalities and celebrities, “The Traitors: New Blood” will bring together 22 Americans selected from more than 60,000 applicants. NBC first revealed plans for a civilian edition when unveiling its 2026-27 schedule, reflecting the growing popularity of the franchise. All previous seasons of “The Traitors” remain available on Peacock, while NBC plans to air “The Traitors: New Blood” on Thursday nights as part of its fall lineup.
