Games work similarly. A group of believers must try to figure out who the traitor is while being “murdered” to claim the bounty. The traitors try to keep their identities secret to avoid being expelled at the Round Table and having their money stolen at the end of the game.
However, getting celebrities involved isn’t an entirely new idea. Already across the pond, the U.S. version of “Traitor” has featured celebrities as contestants on the show. Traitors executive producer Stephen Lambert previously told Global’s The News Agents Podcast: “I think it’s going to be quite interesting. We’re in discussions with the BBC about the future of all our shows. , it’s clearly a possibility.”
So what are the chances of a celebrity spin-off of The Traitors being produced in the UK? And if so, who would be likely to sign up for the BBC show?
Will a celebrity traitor emerge?
In the same interview, Lambert said it was a conscious choice not to choose a celebrity to star in the show in the first place. He said: “So it was actually a decision with the BBC to make the first British version without celebrities.”
He further explained: “In the UK, a decision was made that at some stage we would think about celebrities. But the best shows like ‘The Apprentice’ don’t have celebrities on them. If you don’t have celebrities, if you’re a real person , there are civilians, and the bounty pot is important.
“You know, if you’re a celebrity, £100,000, of course, that’s great, but it’s not as important as the average person. They take the game more seriously, and we think that’s very important. I think there is.”
There’s a good chance a celebrity spinoff is in the works. In response to inquiries from Yahoo News, the BBC said it would not comment on the possibility of a star-studded version of The Traitors.
