How many episodes of The Traitors are on this week?

The next three episodes of The Traitors will air from Wednesday to Friday this week. It is the penultimate week of the 2025 season of the show - meaning it will be episodes 7 to 9 broadcast.

Who is at risk of murder in The Traitors?

In a twist on the previous poisoned chalice challenge, The Traitors were tasked with writing four names down on a painting in the bar of Traitors Castle in Friday night’s episode (January 10). The selected players then had to play a midnight game of cards - with one set to be murdered at the end of it.

The game involved Fozia, Alexander, Leon and Anna. Each had two cards in their hand, with one ‘life’ card included - and the players had the chance to swap cards once each round.

At the end of a round, the player with the ‘life’ card would be safe from murder. The dramatic conclusion of the episode saw just Fozia and Leon left in the game - but viewers have been left waiting to discover who will be ‘murdered’.
