Production
In August 2025, rumours surfaced that 10 were considering reviving the series for 2025, based on the continued international success of the The Traitors franchise. The new season would feature a cast of Reality TV personalities (much like the American version), and is set to be filmed in New Zealand, with South Pacific Pictures, the production team behind The Traitors NZ, producing the new season .[2][3][4] These rumours were later confirmed with 10 also announcing Gretel Killeen as host.[5]
The first promo for the series aired on 1 June 2026 during series 18 of MasterChef Australia.[6]

The cast was announced in October 2025, shortly after filming was completed.[7] Similar to the American edition and unlike the earlier seasons, this season's cast was composed entirely of reality show participants and public figures.
Notably, this is also the first season to feature a personal relationship - with twin brothers Josh & Luke Packham both featured in the show. The brothers both participated on Love Island Australia 2 and as a team on The Block: Fans V Faves 2.
