Kick off the New Year with a new season of The Traitors. Peacock announced that it is kicking off 2025 with a special sneak preview of the upcoming third season of the Emmy-winning reality show, as the first seven minutes of the Season 3 premiere are now available to stream right here.

Season 3, which once more has Alan Cumming overseeing a game of strategy and deception amongst reality all-stars inside a Scottish castle, debuts on January 9 with a three-episode premiere. However, if you can’t wait that long to get a taste of the new cast — whose ranks include Tom Sandoval (Vanderpump Rules), Danielle Reyes (Big Brother), Boston Rob (Survivor and Deal or No Deal Island), and Bob the Drag Queen (RuPaul's Drag Race) — Peacock is making the start of the season premiere available more than a week early. 

For the full list of The Traitors Season 3 contestants, read NBC Insider's cast announcement.

Think of this seven-minute taste of Season 3 as an extended preview — a reward for being a “Faithful” fan. The start of the new season should serve as a good introduction to the new cast, plus a chance to see Cumming back in action as the host.
