The Traitors Australia is returning to our screens in 2026, and Channel 10 has released some juicy details about the devious reality TV show. Gretel Killeen, who is known for her time hosting Big Brother Australia and competing on the current season of The Amazing Race Australia, will replace Rodger Corser as host for The Traitors Australia 2026.
“The Traitors is returning to 10 in 2026 with Aussie Legend Gretel Killeen as host! Dust off your cloaks, trusty Traitors, and prepare to bury the hatchet… in your closest ally’s back,” Channel 10 wrote on social media.
The Traitors Australia last aired in 2023 before it was put on hiatus. There was no winner, and Blake Willoughby, Sam McGlone, and Camille Chicheportiche walked away empty-handed with no prize money.
There have been plenty of rumours about who will be part of The Traitors Australia 2026 cast, including former Survivor Australia players and other celebrities. Below, here’s everything we know about The Traitors Australia 2026, including where it’s being filmed and who’s joining the cast.
Which celebrities have been cast in The Traitors Australia 2026?
Channel 10 says they are currently “assembling a brilliant cast of the most cunning and clever Aussies”, and the line-up will be revealed soon.
According to a reality TV fan account on X (formerly Twitter), Australian Survivor legend Kirby Bentley has been tipped to compete on The Traitors Australia 2026. This particular account knew the result of Survivor: Australia v The World before it had aired, so it’s possible they have connections.
“Queen Kirby will be competing on the next Traitors Australia season! Oh this is gonna be fun,” they wrote.
Who is hosting The Traitors Australia 2026?
After rumours that Roger Corser would be replaced for the reinvented version of The Traitors Australia, Channel 10 announced Gretel Killeen as the new host on Sunday, September 28.
“As a writer and performer, I love a new experience and hosting the new Traitors gives me permission to explore an alternate version of myself in an imaginary place, full of challenging mischief,” Gretel said in a press release.
Channel 10 is equally as excited to have Gretel at the helm, with Vice President of Content at Paramount Australia, Tamara Simoneau, saying: “The Traitors format has fans obsessing over every twist and turn all over the world and it’s time we bring it back to Aussie screens with our very own version.
“There is no one better to bring it to life than the OG of groundbreaking, buzz-worthy reality shows, Gretel Killeen.”
Where will The Traitors Australia 2026 be filmed?
According to the New Zealand Herald, The Traitors Australia 2026 will be filmed at the 150-year-old Claremont Castle, situated at the foot of Mt Horrible near Timaru in New Zealand.
“That’s a big show of course, around the world now, The Traitors, and New Zealand’s own version, Season 3 is underway now in terms of production. I found out this week that The Traitors Australia show which hasn’t had as great a run over the Tasman has actually been picked up by South Pacific Pictures here in Auckland,” Editor at Large Shayne Currie said during Media Insider.
“[It] will be produced in South Canterbury, in the same place that they produced The Traitors New Zealand.”
