The Story in Brief
Karan Johar-hosted reality show The Traitors Season 2 premiered on Prime Video on August 13, 2026, with new episodes releasing every Thursday. Filmed at Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, the game divides 21 celebrity contestants into Traitors and Faithfuls who compete in psychological challenges and round-table eliminations.
The lineup includes actors Mallika Sherawat, Shweta Tiwari, Dalip Tahil, Rhea Chakraborty, comedian Munawar Faruqui, chef Ranveer Brar, and influencers Abhishek Malhan and Prish, aged 22 to 73. A new character named Boo adds unpredictability. Johar has urged fans of Faruqui and Malhan to keep social media debates civil, after early eliminations of Dalip Tahil, Munawar Faruqui, Soundous Moufakir and Karan Singh Magic.
The Indian Opinion
The Traitors brings together Bigg Boss alumni and digital stars, but the fan wars between Munawar Faruqui and Abhishek Malhan supporters already threaten to drown out the show. Karan Johar's plea for civility is welcome, but audiences should focus on the format's psychological play rather than turning every elimination into a vendetta. The real test is whether the series can sustain intrigue week after week, or fall into predictable loyalties and online toxicity.
