Amazon Prime Video collaborated with Karan Johar to bring a one-of-a-kind reality TV show, ‘The Traitors’, to India this month. The show is an Indian adaptation of the BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning global format and has struck a chord with the Indian masses within the first 6 episodes. Before the finale of season one could hit the streamer, Amazon has announced Season 2 of ‘The Traitors’ and also confirmed that it is very much in development. It is one of those rare instances when a show has been renewed for 2nd season even before the first one concluded. Here’s everything we know about ‘The Traitors’ Season 2.

The Traitors: Plot/ Format
In this show, traitors are chosen by host Karan Johar on the first day, and they are kept secret from other players who are innocents. The 17 innocents have to work together to unmask the traitors amongst them, but they are running against time as the traitors will keep murdering one or the other innocent every night until they are caught.
In the show, the innocents have managed to catch just one traitor till now, which was Raj Kundra, ousted on the 2nd day itself. The other two traitors are still very much a part of the show (Elnaaz Nourouzi & Purav Jha).
