Buckle up because CTV's latest show The Traitors Canada is about to be a bumpy, thrilling ride! Premiering on CTV on Oct. 2, 10 p.m. ET/PT, this mind-bending competition will keep you on the edge of your seats and is poised to be the hottest show of the season.
Picture this: a historic manor in the heart of Montréal is the backdrop for a high-stakes game where loyalty is a fleeting concept. 20 contestants, handpicked for their cunning, guts, and strategic wits, are thrown into a labyrinth of treachery. And there's more—this group is a motley crew of eight well-known reality stars and 12 brand-new faces: a former MuchMusic VJ and radio host, a psychic medium, high school teacher, magician/mentalist, paediatric registered nurse, firefighter, Twitch streamer, and many others. Expect the unexpected.
Karine Vanasse, the award-winning actress famed for her role in Cardinal, takes the helm as the show's charismatic host.
At the core of The Traitors Canada lies an enticing premise. The contestants must navigate a web of challenges for a chance to win up to $100,00. But here's the twist: hidden among the Faithful are the Traitors. These covert operatives must deceive, manipulate, and eliminate their fellow contestants, all while evading detection.
"Cloaked under the cover of darkness, the devious Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree while the players try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game. If the Faithful contestants banish all Traitors, they will share the final prize, but if a Traitor makes it to the end, they get to walk away with all the money. In this psychological adventure of prize-building challenges, savage accusations, and diabolical murders, will the Traitors be unmasked in time?
