No, it’s on 10Play.

On Have You Been Paying Attention tonight, there were a couple of questions which poked fun at the low ratings for The Traitors finale last week.
I think the questions Ten need to ask itself is whether it can grow further and whether any replacement would rate better. I suspect it’s strong online presence with various versions on 10Play should mean in the year before a next season more people would find it, so potentially yes it could grow.
As for a replacement - who knows, but there isn’t much more out there in the format market at the moment. 10 do need to accomodate Gladiators somewhere next year though, and unless I’m mistaken with The Bachelor already renewed The Traitors is probably their first tentpole format of the year where there is a question mark over whether it’ll return.
It’s still often better to try and grow a format though than start again as with the latter you can end up starting again every year.

Disappointed not to see Traitors announced for 2024 at the upfronts.
As a fan of the show and game, I hope 10/Paramount change course and bring it back.

I agree. I really enjoy this show and I plan to watch some of the overseas versions soon.

I’ve watched both USA and UK series and I believe our 2 seasons were better.

Devastated. At least make it a P+ exclusive!

No real surprise with The Traitors, not something I was a big fan of but good to see them try something different.
I’m sure if overseas sales went well they could’ve made it as a P+ exclusive and then drop it on 10 play afterwards, maybe even run it on a multichannel too at some point.
Il surprised they went a second time, just not a strong enough following to prop up a weeknight timeslot for the channel.

I didn’t watch series 1 but i got into series 2 and was hoping it might get a 3rd. Never mind

This is just another example where the problem is 10 not the show.
The Traitors is going gangbusters around the world at the moment but the only country where it’s absolutely bombed and been axed is Australia where it’s on Channel 10.
They can’t even make a world wide hit work. Just pathetic. It is a great show. Such a shame.

I think the public has to cop some of the blame too. Many of us preferred to watch shows on Nine (and to a less extent, Seven) rather than The Traitors at the same time, and would not even consider catch up on 10play or record the show and watch it later.

Exactly. when the masses prefer rubbish like The Block or MKR what hope does anything else have.

Sadly it seems a lot of people prefer shows like MAFS, Love Island and presumably the new season of BB with their ‘sexy singles’. It’s a shame because the twists that can occur in the finale make watching the season worthwhile.

There’s nothing to say the show would have been a success on another network, especially given the poor results this year for new reality formats on both Seven and Nine.

Just because a show performs well (and/or is popular) in other countries doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll be successful in Australia.
As TV Cynic suggested, The Traitors might be one of those shows that wouldn’t have resonated with Australian viewers no matter which channel it aired.

If Seven or Nine had the format rights to The Traitors it would be a ratings smash here. For my opinion 10 used to be a Australia’s youth skewing channel which attracts fewer viewers than other 2 channels which made me think that youth remaints of 10 was not the right channel for them.
