The Traitors has unveiled Season 3 of the series, and fans could not have asked it to be on any other day than the very first day of a new year. This BBC original premiered on January 1, 2025, and welcomed 25 players, of which 3 are traitors, and the rest are faithful. Claudia Winkelman hosted these players in the gothic Scottish Highland castle, a perfect venue for the bleak, dramatic season.

The show will air three days a week, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The format of the show remains the same. A team of players arrives at a castle, and Claudia Winkelman chooses 3 traitors from the lot. The players are unaware of the identity of the traitors and work to reveal them.

On the other hand, these traitors will find a way to eliminate the faithful, paving their way safely without getting caught. The group will vote out one player in each episode as a "traitor", and those who will remain till the end will share the prize money of £120,000.

Claudia Winkelman has amped up the stakes by choosing the three traitors for the season. Let us have a look at these "3 traitors" and who they are.

The Traitors Season 3 fans are all pumped with the new list of traitors for the season. The drama, stakes, and hopes are all high as the season has begun with the banishment, elimination, and revelation of the traitors.

Armani

Who could have thought that a 27-year-old financial investigator could be one of the traitors in season 3 of the show? Armani, who hails from London and with a Law background, deems herself "good at almost everything she puts her mind into."

However, entering the show as a traitor might give her a little hiccup if she gets eliminated as a "faithful." Armani has come prepared and she is willing to betray or get betrayed if need be.

Linda

A retired opera singer from Hertfordshire who just caught up in her trick when she gave a glance to Claudia the movement she uttered the word "traitor." One of the players, Jake, was quick to notice Linda's blunder, but she got lucky not to get voted out. Linda is 70 years old, which makes her the oldest player to join the Scottish Highland castle.

However, there is nothing that Linda can't do if money is involved.

"If there’s money involved, which there is, I can be ruthless,” she said.

Minah

Minah is a 29-year-old call center manager, and she had declared that she might find it difficult to betray those she has made connections with. She added:

"I think in the back of my mind though I’d think I’m doing this for my family and that trumps any of the friendships I might possibly make.”

However, she is the only one not to be under the radar of suspicion, making her the perfect player as a traitor. Minah has come up with a plan, and she thinks it will let her win the prize money in the end.

"I’m naturally very competitive and because I always want to win, I’d do anything," said Minah.

The Traitors Season 3 Episode 3 will air on Friday, January 3, 2025, at 9 pm ET on BBC.
