HBO Max lines up Spanish version of psychological gameshow The Traitors

Gestmusic’s Traitors España has already completed filming

Streamer HBO Max has commissioned a Spanish version of Dutch psychological adventure game format The Traitors.

The show, an intense competition in which players must decide who they can trust, was developed by Dutch prodco IDTV and All3Media for RTL4 in the Netherlands.

The Traitors has already been commissioned in the UK, US, Norway, France, Belgium and Australia and the latest deal will see it adapted as an eight-part series called Traitors España, produced by Gestmusic (Banijay Iberia).

The new adaptation has wrapped filming at a castle in Spain and features 18 celebrity contestants hosted by actor and director Sergio Peris-Mencheta.

It will follow recently announced versions for M6 in France, NBCUniversal’s Peacock platform in the US and for BBC One in the UK.

The Traitors has also been commissioned by Network 10 in Australia and TV2 in Norway and has been adapted for VTM in Belgium (Flemish) and RTL TVI in Belgium (French).

All3Media International is distributing the format worldwide and will sell the tape version of the UK, US and Australian adaptations.

The Traitors received C21’s International Format Award for Best Competition Reality Format earlier this year.
