Host Karan Johar has hailed the “unpredictable nature” of “The Traitors” India Season 2, saying it is what keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, as the Indian reality series became Prime Video‘s No. 1 non-English title worldwide in its launch week.
The series, which premiered Aug. 13, also ranked among Prime Video’s global Top 10 Original series. Prime Video credited the strong launch to enthusiastic fan response and critical reception for the season, which pits a group of “Innocents” against secretly chosen “Traitors.”
“Judging by the response to the first three episodes, we can safely say audiences are thoroughly enjoying the dhokha [deception],” Johar, the show’s host and producer, said. “And there’s plenty more paranoia, plotting, betrayal, and, of course, some spectacularly bad decisions coming their way, which I’m sure they’ll love. Not just the Players, but everyone watching seems to have a theory, and with every elimination, those theories are thrown out the window. The unpredictable nature of the show is what keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, making the show as engaging as it is entertaining.”
Set against the backdrop of Suryagarh Palace, the series follows 21 celebrity Players as the Innocents attempt to identify and expose the Traitors among them before being eliminated, while the Traitors work to deceive their fellow contestants and avoid detection.
