Prime Video, India’s largest streaming service for exclusive Originals, announced that Season 2 of The Traitors has emerged as the No. 1 non-English title worldwide on the service in its launch week. Following its premiere on August 13, the series also ranked among the Top 10 Prime Original series worldwide, drawing audiences into the gripping drama that unfolds between the ‘Innocents’ and the ‘Traitors’ on the show. The strong launch, enthusiastic fan response, and critics’ appreciation, with the series being hailed as captivating and promising, further underscore the growing appeal of Prime Video’s unscripted entertainment, demonstrating that Indian reality storytelling resonates with audiences both at home and around the world.
“The response to Season 2 of The Traitors has been phenomenal, and witnessing the enthusiasm and engagement with which audiences have embraced this season is incredibly gratifying,” said Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals, Prime Video (SVOD) and Amazon MGM Studios India. “When a show takes over the internet and sparks heated conversations on social media, with fans passionately choosing sides and rooting for their favorite Players, you know you’ve got audiences hooked. The season has only just begun, and we’re confident the love and excitement will only grow in the weeks to come.”
Expressing his enthusiasm for the season’s success, host and producer for season 2, Karan Johar added, “Judging by the response to the first three episodes, we can safely say audiences are thoroughly enjoying the dhokha. And there’s plenty more paranoia, plotting, betrayal, and, of course, some spectacularly bad decisions coming their way, which I’m sure they’ll love. Not just the Players, but everyone watching seems to have a theory, and with every elimination, those theories are thrown out the window. The unpredictable nature of the show is what keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, making the show as engaging as it is entertaining.”
This season’s explosive mix of 21 celebrity Players from diverse fields includes, Aaditya Kulshreshth (Kullu), Abhishek Malhan (Fukraa Insaan), Ansh Chopra, Dalip Tahil, Harman Singha, Ikka Singh, Karan Singh Magic, Krystle D’souza,Mallika Sherawat, Munawar Faruqui, Parul Gulati, Prish, Ranveer Brar, Rhea Chakraborty, Rida Tharana, Sahil Salathia, Shahneel Gill, Shalini Passi, Shweta Tiwari, Soundous Moufakir, and Tanya Puri. Set against the majestic backdrop of Suryagarh Palace, The Traitors Season 2 is the ultimate game of trust, deception, and betrayal. With the Traitors secretly chosen from among the Players, the Innocents must identify and expose them before they are eliminated, while the Traitors must deceive their fellow Players and remain undetected. As suspicions mount, alliances shift, and accusations carry heavy consequences, the Players must navigate a game where trusting the wrong person could change everything.
Collaborating with leading independent distributor All3Media International for the local adaptation of IDTV’s BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning global format, Season 2 is produced by Dharmatic Entertainment. New episodes premiere every Thursday exclusively on Prime Video.
