The third season of The Traitors US is currently airing across the pond and soon, UK viewers will be able to watch all the action unfold.

While the premise of the US version's remains the same, with three Traitors having to murder Faithful contestants in a bid to claim the prize money for themselves, it instead has an an all-star cast.

Still, there will continue to be roundtables where contestants will get a chance to vote to eliminate one another.

If like us, you couldn't get enough of the series and want more, read on for a guide to how to watch The Traitors US in the UK.

Can you watch The Traitors US in the UK?

Both seasons 1 and 2 of The Traitors US are available to watch BBC iPlayer, with both becoming available shortly after the full season aired for those across the pond.

With this in mind, it is likely that season 3 of the US series will be released on iPlayer once it comes to an end on Peacock first.

Dan McGolpin, Director, iPlayer and Channels, said at the time of the acquisition: "Following the huge success of The Traitors, which has been streamed more than 28 million times on BBC iPlayer and was the talk of the nation over the festive period, we’re delighted to give BBC viewers the chance to watch the brand new US series within hours of its release in America.

"Hosted by the brilliant Alan Cumming and filmed at the same location as the UK series, it’s a new year treat for those seeking out more treachery – all is about to be revealed on BBC iPlayer, BBC Three and BBC One."

What is The Traitors about?

Based on the Dutch series De Verraders, the show sees contestants living in a castle in the Scottish Highlands with the hope of sharing a prize fund, which was up to £120,000 for the UK series.

However, there's a twist – among them are the "Traitors", a group of contestants selected by the host on the first day.

Contestants will have to work hard to convince others that they're a "Faithful". Meanwhile, the Traitors will get to murder (eliminate) a Faithful each night.

Roundtables will take place each day, and all contestants will get to vote for who they think is a Traitor. The person with the most votes will be banished from the game and will reveal whether they are indeed a Faithful or Traitor.

If the Faithfuls managed to successfully eliminate all the Traitors at the roundtable, they will share the prize fund. However, if there are any Traitors are left in the game at the final round, they will take all the winnings.
