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.
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.
In August 2024, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered on September 23, 2024.
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. In a season one twist, host Karine Vanasse told the last player banished before the end game, not to reveal if they were a Faithful or Traitor.
Production
On June 6, 2023, it was announced that Bell Media had commissioned English and French language adaptations. 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. Both versions slated to film back-to-back in Quebec over the summer.

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.
- ^ 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.
Missions

Shield Winner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | As a group, the contestants had 30 minutes to blow up a quarry to expose a hidden $20,000 to add to the pot. In the group, eight runners would run up the hills to locate structural pieces and then carry down the detonator. Meanwhile, the other contestants have to locate cables scattered in the quarry. Each cable must be connected to the structure according to color, thus creating a rail that would blow up the quarry. | $20,000 | $20,000 | $20,000 | — |
| 2 | Six volunteers were led to an undisclosed location then buried alive. The remaining contestants were split into three teams, tasked with finding two buried contestants each. Those buried could communicate with their teammates using a walkie-talkie, and direct them to locations within the castle grounds using clues housed within their coffin. Each contestant rescued before the 45 minutes elapsed, would add $1,500 to the prize fund. | $9,000 | $6,000 | $26,000 | |
| 3 | The contestants took turns to make their way across a laser-filled room, containing artifacts of different values. They had 30 minutes to transport as many artifacts as they could across the room; however, extra lasers were added after each successful attempt. Additionally, if someone triggered a laser, one minute was taken off the clock, and they were forced to drop out and wait their turn again. | $23,150 | $10,000 | $36,000 | |
| 4 | The 15 remaining contestants were divided into two teams of 7 and 8, each with a designated team captain. This mission took place over three rounds, each lasting up to ten minutes. Captains had to memorize a landing pattern on the airstrip in order to direct their teammates to assemble it using the proper pieces. When both teams recreated the correct pattern within the allotted time, a plane would land and $2,000 was added to the pot. The team with the most correct patterns with the fastest times also gained access to the Armoury. | $6,000 | $2,000 | $38,000 | Kuzie |
| 5 | The 13 remaining contestants were divided into two teams of 7 and 6, each with a representative entering a confessional booth in order to hear Karine read a page, paragraph, or a line reference. This information would then be relayed to their teammates. Using The Book of Traitors, they must find a riddle that would lead to a description of clothing worn by a member of that masked congregation. Only the first team to identify a counted item and each correctly-identified item earned $2,000 for the pot. A total of three rounds were played, and the team that identified the most items correctly would be given first access to the Armoury, potentially earning a Shield. | $6,000 | $6,000 | $44,000 | Mickey |
| 6 | The contestants are randomly picked for three teams, each captained by the three guests on Death Row (Kevin, Mary & Melissa A.). Each team took turns to enter Karine's parlor, which was strewn with an assortment of items. They were given a short amount of time to memorize these items and their placement, before the lights were dimmed and the voices of eliminated contestants aired. A total of three items would be swapped, and a team would have one minute to identify those changes and bring them to Karine. For each item the team correctly identified, $1,000 would be added to the prize pot. The team that identified the most items correctly (or within the fastest time, in the case of a tie) would earn their captain an Armoury Pass. | $9,000 | $3,000 | $47,000 | Kevin |
| 7 | As a group, the contestants had 45 minutes to transport whiskey barrels through a forest. Along the path were fifteen barrels valued between $250 and $6,000. Barrels making it across the finish line before time was up, would add money to the pot. If any of the Armoury barrels crossed the finish line, the group could select any of a number of contestants to go to the Armoury. The group was able to get five barrels across, including the main $6,000 barrel. No Armoury barrels crossed the finish line before time expired. | $19,500 | $10,500 | $57,500 | — |
| 8 | In a different variation on the Carnival Wheel, Karine will randomly pick three contestants to participate in the "Disappearing Box". The remaining contestants on the ground will have to answer questions with the name of a contestant on the Box. Each contestant on the Box would also answer the question, and for each of their answers matching the group's answers, $500 was added to the prize fund. Those on the Box have a balloon representing a lifeline: If they hear their name once, they must release the balloon; if they hear it twice, they are banished from the game. An eliminated contestant is replaced by a randomly picked individual. The Mission continued until only one contestant remains on the ground and one contestant on the Box is eliminated. | $12,000 | $9,000 | $66,500 | |
| 9 | The guests who were absent at breakfast (Gurleen & Travon), were taken inside a fort. The remaining players followed Karine to the fort and were tasked with rescuing the players being held. To do so, they must collect three correct keys from fifteen wanted posters corresponding to the hostages. Then, using the catapult to deliver the keys inside the fort, the taken players will use them to unlock one of the locks, which will light up bulbs outside the fort, indicating success. In order to find the correct key, the insiders will state one word on the wanted poster describing their features, hairstyles, or accessories. They will send that word to the outsiders using a Morse code communication system to interpret the word. If the key the insider received does not work, they will send another clue word to the outsiders to help narrow things down. If the insiders manage to unlock all three locks and escape within 30 minutes, the group will earn $1,000 for each key that was left on the wanted poster board. The maximum amount of money they could earn is up to $12,000 choosing all three correct keys. | $12,000 | $11,000 | $87,500 | |
| 10 | The Final Five contestants were divided into two groups of two and three. In the forest they were tied together and had bags in their heads. After removing the rope that bound them, the contestants will open a small box on the ground, revealing the final mission of the season: Using the rope, the compass in the box, and the clues in a note, each group will search for bags, each worth $1,000 in gold coins, hidden in five different locations in the forest. When the contestants hear the flare gun sound, they must search for the signal on a walkie-talkie, which Karine revealed they have three minutes to run and swim into the middle of the lake to find a large chest floating on a board. They must then drop the gold coins in the chest and attach a cable to Karine's helicopter before the time runs out in order to earn the final prize. | $10,000 | $7,000 | $94,500 |
Season 2
Contestants

Key
- The contestant was a Faithful.
- The contestant was a Traitor.
- The contestant was set to be murdered by the traitors but was later rescued by the other contestants during the mission.
- The contestant was placed on trial by the traitors.
- The contestant had the Shield and was secretly immune from being murdered.
Notes
- Before the selection of Traitors, Karine offered to add $10,000 in exchange for 5 players putting themselves onto Death Row, nominating themselves for the first Murder.
- Dillon was murdered after the Roundtable on Episode 4 by a Traitor Michael, after giving him a "Death Handshake" as Dillon said "I Trust You". This murder was only revealed to the viewers and the other players during Episode 5's Breakfast.
- Karine told the Traitors to decide to cage someone for the next mission, who would be murdered if they cannot be freed in the mission. Gail was chosen to be caged and was rescued during the mission.
- Following Cedric'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”.
- Following Laurie's Banishment, the final three 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”.
