De Verraders (Dutch for: The Traitors) is a 2021 Dutch television show broadcast by RTL 4.[1][2][3] The format of the show is similar to the card game The Werewolves of Millers Hollow and it takes place at and around Castle Erenstein in Kerkrade, Netherlands. The show is presented by Tijl Beckand.

Overview[]

In the show, three out of eighteen contestants take on the role of 'Verrader' (Traitor/Betrayer) and all other contestants take on the role of 'Getrouwe' (Faithful). The faithful don't know who the traitors are but viewers of the show are made aware in the first episode. Each night, the traitors gather in secret to decide who they wish to eliminate from the game; this contestant is said to have been killed and doesn't show up at the next day's morning breakfast.[3] In each episode, the contestants take part in a challenge to earn silver bars which can be won in the end. In some challenges, contestants can also win a shield which protects them from elimination by the traitors that night. After completing a challenge, the contestants return to the castle to take part in the 'Raad' (Council) – a voting round in which all contestants cast a vote on who should be eliminated from the game. In this round, the faithful hope to eliminate a traitor from the game.[3] The eliminated person reveals, before leaving, whether they were either a traitor or a faithful contestant.

In the last episode, the contestants decide who wins the silver bars. The two finalists independently write down either the word 'Verraad' (Betrayal) or 'Trouw' (Faithful). If both choose 'Trouw' then they split the prize but if one person chooses 'Verraad' then that person wins all the silver bars. If both choose 'Verraad' then the runner-up wins all the silver bars.

Diederik Jekel, Kees Boot and Holly Mae Brood played the role of traitor in the first season of the show and a second season of the show is planned.[4] In the first season, contestants managed to accumulate a total of 22 silver bars over the course of the show.[5] In the final, Samantha Steenwijk and Chatilla van Grinsven ended up splitting the silver bars.[5] After the show, they decided to share their winnings with the runner-up Loiza Lamers.[6]

The show is produced by IDTV and PosVideo in collaboration with RTL Nederland.[7]
