The Traitors: OTT platform, release date, full list of contestants and more about Karan Johar's reality show
Reality TV in India just got a serious twist. It's about lies, mind games, and big money. Karan Johar is bringing the international reality hit The Traitors to Indian screens, and it's all set to stream on Amazon Prime Video starting June 12, 2025. Shot in the stunning Suryagarh Palace of Jaisalmer, new episodes of the show will drop every Thursday on your small screens. So, what's 'The Traitors' about? If you've seen Bigg Boss, forget that. The Traitors is not about shouting or tasks, it's a psychological thriller in reality show format. The idea is simple but intense: 20 people, most of them celebrities, live together in a lavish palace. Among them are a few "traitors" secretly picked by Karan Johar himself. The rest are called "faithfuls." Every night, the traitors secretly eliminate one person, and every day, the whole group meets to vote and try to banish someone they think is a traitor. The twist? If the traitors make it to the end without getting caught, they take home the prize money. But if the faithfuls figure them out and vote them out, the prize goes to the remaining faithful. Meet the contestants of The Traitors The show has a mix of TV stars, influencers, actors, and even a poker champion. Here's the full list of people trying to lie and survive in the game: Karan Kundrra – TV star and apparently the highest-paid contestant Jasmin Bhasin – Known from Bigg Boss and other TV shows Raftaar – Rapper and music producer Raj Kundra – Businessman (yes, Shilpa Shetty's husband) Uorfi Javed – Internet's favourite for wild fashion and bold opinions Jannat Zubair – Actress and social media influencer Elvish Yadav – YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT winner Sumukhi Suresh – Comedian and actor Mukesh Chhabra – Bollywood casting director Anshula Kapoor – Entrepreneur and Arjun Kapoor's sister Sahil Salathia – Model and actor Harsh Gujral – Popular stand-up comic Sufi Motiwala – Fashion expert and critic Nikita Luther – India's only female poker player to win a WSOP bracelet Ashish Vidyarthi – Veteran actor Maheep Kapoor – Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives fame Apoorva Mukhija (Rebel Kid) – Gen Z content creator Purav Jha – YouTuber Sudhanshu Pandey – Actor known for TV dramas Elnaaz Norouzi – Actress from Sacred Games If you're tired of watching the same old reality drama and want something with more twists, The Traitors might be your next obsession. Produced by BBC Studios India, watch it every Thursday on Prime Video starting June 12. But remember: in this game, trust no one.
