Broadcast and outcome

The Traitors (American TV series) season 1 premiered on 12 January 2023 and concluded on 28 February 2023. The season concluded with Cirie Fields winning as a Traitor. Quentin Jiles and Andie Vanacore finished as runners-up, identified in the finale as Faithfuls. The season documentation lists a prize figure of $250,000.

Contestants and episode highlights

Season 1 featured a mix of known and lesser-known players, including Christian de la Torre, Cody Calafiore and Arie Luyendyk Jr., alongside Cirie Fields. Episode descriptions shared by the US streamer highlighted key moments: early suspicion and sabotage, missions that allowed contestants to raise the prize pot (noting instances of the pot exceeding $100,000), returning former players affecting dynamics, and tense penultimate rounds in which alliances fractured. The finale resolved the main contest between the Traitors and the Faithfuls.

UK release and streaming availability

In the United Kingdom the American series was acquired by the BBC as a companion to its British version. Episodes were made available on BBC iPlayer the day after the American release, beginning 13 January 2023, with linear airings on BBC Three and BBC One. From 2024 the BBC adjusted scheduling: the US series moved to air in late January onwards as the UK version was shifted into January, typically occupying the same BBC Three slot as the UK edition. For on-demand viewers, Peacock also offers full episodes of The Traitors and lists multiple seasons—Peacock currently has four seasons available for streaming.

Conclusion

Traitors season 1 established the US edition’s format and produced notable outcomes, most prominently Cirie Fields’ win. For UK audiences, BBC acquisition and iPlayer availability ensured easy access, while Peacock provides a consolidated streaming option. With scheduling adjustments and further seasons available on streaming platforms, the series remains easy to follow for viewers tracking future contestants, outcomes and format developments.
