The Traitors Canada is a Canadian reality television series, that is based on the Dutch series De Verraders. It is hosted by the French-Canadian actress Karine Vanasse.[1]
Following the premise of the previous versions of De Verraders, the show features a group of contestants participating in a game similar to the party game Mafia - in which a small group of contestants become the titular "Traitors" and must work together to eliminate the other contestants in order to win the grand prize, while the remaining contestants become "Faithfuls" and are tasked with discovering and banishing the Traitors by voting them out in order to win the grand prize.
Format
Twenty Canadian contestants arrive at an historic manor in Montreal, with hopes of winning a share of the $100,000 prize. The players are referred to as the "Faithful" but among them are the "Traitors" – a group of contestants selected by host Karine Vanasse, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithfuls and claim the prize for themselves. Should the Faithful contestants eliminate all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if any Traitors make it to the end, they steal the money.[1] In a season one twist the host Karine Vanasse told the last player banished before the end game not to reveal if they were a faithful or traitor.[2]
Production
On June 6, 2023, it was announced that Bell Media has commissioned English and French language adaptations.[3] Karine Vanasse, the host of the show, would also present the French language version Les Traîtres, making her the first person to host multiple versions of the franchise.[3] Both versions slated to film back-to-back in Quebec over the summer.[4]

Key
- The contestant was a Faithful.
- The contestant was a Traitor.
- The contestant was placed on trial by the traitors.
- The contestant had the Shield and was secretly immune from being murdered.
Notes
- ^ In Episode 9, Mickey received an offer from the Traitors to join them. He accepted.
- ^ Instead of selecting one Faithful to be murdered, the Traitors were asked to put three players to put on death row. The next night, only those three players would be up for elimination.
- ^ At the dinner party the final seven players were given a choice to either murder or banish. If the players banished a traitor $10,000 would be added to the prize pot, if they banished a faithful they would lose $10,000 from the prize pot, but if there was no banishment the prize pot would stay the same. There was an open vote. If all seven players choose banish there would be a banishment but if one player choose murder there would be a murder.
- ^ a b Following Travon's Banishment, the final four players participated in the Endgame and were given a choice to either Banish or End Game – A unanimous End Game vote would result in either: 1) all remaining Traitors being declared as winners, or 2) Should no Traitors be remaining, all remaining players declared winning Faithfuls. In either outcome, the prize would be shared among the winners. A single vote to Banish would result in another Banishment Vote, followed by another choice between “Banish” or “End Game”.
- ^ Domenic was removed from the game for undisclosed specific reasons, beyond a breach of the game rules.
