The Traitors is set to make a bold leap onto the London stage in 2027, boasting an ambitious production that promises to be as immersive as its television counterpart. Writer John Finnemore, known for his work on radio and television shows like Cabin Pressure, is behind the script, alongside director Robert Hastie, who has previously helmed critically acclaimed productions at the National Theatre.
The show's producers have described the stage adaptation as a "bold and surprising" theatrical experience that will allow audiences to revel in an intense, joyful night out. Faithful fans can expect an adrenaline-fueled ride as the game of survival and deception takes on new life on stage.
While not much has been revealed about the format, insiders assure us that it will be a play, offering a unique twist on the original concept that only live theater can provide. "The Traitors from screen to stage is a hugely exciting next step for this much-loved brand," stated Stephen Lambert, chief executive of Studio Lambert.
With its global popularity, The Traitors has already spawned at least 30 versions worldwide, including international adaptations featuring celebrities like Alan Cumming and Claudia Winkleman. Its US version, presented by Alan Cumming, recently concluded with a peak audience of over 9 million viewers, marking the show's highest ever ratings in the "civilian" format.
Finnemore brings his expertise as a writer to the project, having penned extensively for radio and television shows like Mitchell and Webb. Hastie, meanwhile, boasts an impressive CV that includes the critically acclaimed productions Hamlet at the National Theatre and Operation Mincemeat on Broadway.
As younger audiences increasingly turn away from live linear television in favor of online content, these figures are seen as remarkable by insiders. With The Traitors set to make a triumphant return to our screens in 2027, fans can expect an unforgettable theatrical experience that will put their survival skills to the ultimate test.

! I mean, who doesn't love a good game of cat and mouse where everyone's trying to figure out who's a traitor? It sounds like The Traitors is gonna be an absolute blast on stage, with John Finnemore's script bringing all the suspense and humor from the TV show. And can we talk about how amazing it is that this format is still going strong after all these years? I mean, 30 versions worldwide?! That's just crazy 
. The fact that a live theater adaptation is gonna be so different from the original concept is also really cool - I'm curious to see what they've come up with.
!
.
? The fact that it's getting an all-star production team is a definite plus 
. Still, I'm keeping my expectations relatively low 
. Will be interesting to see how this plays out though 
Will be interesting to see how they bring this format to life without the screen 
. And let's give props to John Finnemore, his writing skills are on point.
. Still, I'm hyped about The Traitors - it could be the game-changer we need in the entertainment industry 
i love how john finnemore is involved, he's got a knack for writing witty banter and clever plot twists. and robert hastie, what a legend 
his credits are insane! this is gonna be a wild ride and i'm not just saying that 'cause the ratings are high 
I'm totally buying my tickets ASAP, can't wait for 2027! 
The Traitors is literally the best thing since sliced bread, I've watched all seasons at least 5 times each and still can't get enough of it! 
We're in for a treat, folks, mark my words! 
The fact that fans of the show are still super into it after all these years is testament to how engaging the concept is... and let's be real, the casting is gonna be fire 
. And can you imagine seeing Alan Cumming or Claudia Winkleman bring their A-game on stage? 
! It's gonna be sick to see John Finnemore and Robert Hastie bring this show to life on stage - I mean, who wouldn't want to watch a game of survival and deception that's more intense than a viral TikTok challenge? 
. Has anyone else heard about this production? What do you think will be the most intense part of the play? 
. Still, with Alan Cumming and Claudia Winkleman involved, I'm all in 
. And to make matters worse, research shows that ocean acidification is killing off 85% of coral reefs 
. Can't even enjoy a simple trip to the beach without worrying about the planet's demise
