A stage adaptation of hit BBC show The Traitors is coming to London in 2027.

The production will be written by John Finnemore (Cabin Pressure, Good Omens) and directed by Olivier Award winner Robert Hastie (Operation Mincemeat, Standing at the Sky’s Edge).

The Traitors is a BBC reality television series, based on a Dutch programme. The UK version, which was first broadcast in 2022 and continues to be presented by Claudia Winkleman, has just completed its fourth series. The social deduction game, similar to Mafia or Werewolf, follows a group split into faithfuls and traitors, each group competing against each other to win a grand prize.

Producer Stephen Lambert, CEO of Studio Lambert, said: “Taking The Traitors from screen to stage is a hugely exciting next step for this much-loved brand. Partnering with Neal Street Productions, a true theatrical powerhouse, allows us to reimagine the show as a bold and surprising theatrical performance. Faithful fans should expect an intense, joyful night out as we reveal a thrilling new hunting ground for our Traitors.”

Producer Caro Newling, Co-Founder of Neal Street Productions, said: “In developing The Traitors for the stage, Neal Street and Studio Lambert have curated a team of brilliant faithful theatre-makers led by director Rob Hastie and writer John Finnemore to bring a bold, structural twist to the format that only the live medium can provide.”

Full production details, including timelines, are to be announced.
