'The Traitors' is opening its doors to everyday people. Here's how you can join the TV competition

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The U.S. version of ' The Traitors ' has brought a group of public figures to a castle in the Scottish Highlands for a game of deceit, with hundreds of thousands of dollars up for grabs. Now, the Emmy award-winning competition will open its doors to everyday people. NBC is now casting for a civilian version of the popular Peacock series, the network announced Thursday. The competition reality series, an American spin-off to its British counterpart, had only cast celebrities for its first three seasons, the last of which aired early this year. The new version will bring a group of everyday people together to play what the host, Alan Cumming, called his 'treacherous game' in a video announcing the public casting. Cumming is set to host the new version as well, with production for the show starting in 2026, according to the network. Those who are interested in participating can apply now on the show's website. The fourth season of the celebrity version is set to launch next year, and a fifth season has already been confirmed. The star-studded cast for season 4, announced in June, includes reality stars from 'Love Island,' 'Big Brother' and 'Survivor.' 'We're thrilled to be working with NBC to open up the experience to a new group of civilian players, whose stories and strategies will make the gameplay even more unpredictable – and, we hope, even more addictive for viewers,' Stephen Lambert, CEO of Studio Lambert, the producers of both the Peacock and NBC versions, said in a statement. The show features a group of contestants who participate in a murder mystery game similar to Clue or Mafia. A subset of the cast are secretly labeled as traitors and must work together to eliminate the other contestants, who are considered faithfuls. On the line is a prize fund worth up to $250,000. If the faithful manage to eliminate all the traitors, then they share the money. But, if a traitor makes it to the end, they take it all. The British version uses the same location and has used civilian contestants from the start. Casting everyday people will allow complete strangers to meet for the first time, a 'unique opportunity' that 'will be an incredible watch,' said Sharon Vuong, the executive vice president of unscripted programming at NBCUniversal Entertainment. "This new version for NBC offers a unique opportunity for the cast and audience to meet each other for the first time and we know it will be incredible to watch,' Vuong said in a statement. The psychological adventure has found reality TV gold, and its third season premiered as the No. 1 unscripted series in the U.S., according to a release by NBC. The show also recently received five Emmy nominations for season three and previously took home two of the awards for season two.

Anish Kapoor and Climate Activists Take Over Gas Rig with 'BUTCHERED'

Summary Activists from the climate organizationGreenpeacehave unveiled a new artwork byAnish Kapooron a Shell gas platform in the North Sea. Titled 'BUTCHERED,' the artwork arrives as the UK records its fourth heatwave of the summer, and in thewords of Kapoor, is 'a reference to the destruction – the bleeding – of our globe of our state, of being.' On the morning of August 13, seven Greenpeace members scaled Shell's Skiff platform, located 45 nautical miles off the coast of Norfolk before mounting a 12-by-8 meter canvas to the side of the rig. The activists then used a high-pressure hose to pump 1,000 liters of 'blood' – a mixture made from seawater, beetroot powder and food-based dye – onto its surface. According toThe Guardian, 'BUTCHERED' is believed to be the first fine artwork displayed on an active gas extraction platform. In a recent statement, the group wrote that the piece brings light to the 'wound inflicted on both humanity and the Earth by the fossil fuel industry,' evoking the 'collective grief and pain at what has been lost, but also a cry for reparation.' 'I wanted to make something visual, physical, visceral to reflect the butchery they are inflicting on our planet,' Kapoor expressed, 'a visual scream that gives voice to the calamitous cost of the climate crisis, often on the most marginalized communities across the globe.' 'BUTCHERED is an action that happens at the place where this violation starts – a gas platform in the middle of the sea,' he continued. '[It] attempts to bring home the horror, giving voice to the moral and physical destruction caused by ruthless profiteers.' This isn't the first time the artist stepped up to face Big Gas. In 2019, Kapoor joined a league of 78 British artists – among them Sarah Lucas andAntony Gormley– in calling for London's National Portrait Gallery tosever ties with BPin lieu of their 30-year sponsorship.
