The Traitors' is opening up the competition to civilians with an all new series hosted by Alan Cumming for NBC.

The Scottish master of ceremonies explained why NBC’s version of the hit Peacock reality competition represents a fascinating ‘reboot’ for the format.

NBC has picked up a version of the game that will feature civilian players, rather than the reality TV veterans and other celebrities who have populated Peacock’s iteration of The Traitors. Alan Cumming, who hosts the Peacock show, will also lead the NBC version.
