The official trailer for the second season of Karan Johar's reality thriller series The Traitors has been unveiled, setting the stage for an intense psychological game inside the historic Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Produced by Dharmatic Entertainment, the upcoming season brings together 21 high-profile celebrities competing for the championship title and a substantial cash prize. The show is scheduled to stream exclusively on Prime Video starting August 13.
A Star-Studded Lineup of 21 Contestants
The new season features a diverse roster of 21 public figures from television, cinema, culinary arts, and digital content creation. The contestant lineup includes stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui, digital creator Abhishek Malhan (Fukra Insaan), actors Mallika Sherawat, Rhea Chakraborty, Shweta Tiwari, Krystle D'Souza, and Dalip Tahil, alongside celebrity chef Ranveer Brar, Shahneel Gill, and Shalini Passi. To survive in the competition, these participants must outwit one another through tactical gameplay and psychological maneuvering.
New Mystery Character and Strategic Mind Games
Adding a new dynamic to the competition, host Karan Johar will be accompanied by a mysterious companion named 'Boo', who brings sudden twists and bad news for the contestants. The game divides participants into 'Innocents' and secret 'Traitors'. The Innocents must unmask the Traitors hidden among them before being eliminated, while the Traitors must conceal their identities and systematically eliminate the Innocents. The trailer showcases secret alliances, demanding challenges, and dramatic 'murders' inside the palace tower.
Reflecting on the show's atmosphere, Karan Johar notes in the trailer, "This palace feels like a dream and I cannot wait to turn that dream into a nightmare."
Streaming Schedule and Release Details
Sharing his thoughts on the experience, Karan Johar mentioned that contestants entered the palace with far sharper strategies than expected, leading to unexpected betrayals and broken alliances. The second season of The Traitors debuts on Prime Video in India on August 13, with subsequent new episodes releasing every Thursday.
