Thrilling TV shows to fill The Traitors void – from a horror whodunnit to Big Brother-style game with a sinister twist
TRAITORS fans are in mourning after the epic series finale on Friday which saw Traitor Harry Clark beat Faithful Mollie Pearce to win the £95,000 prize.
The third series of the hit BBC game show is rumoured to be released early in 2025.
But you don’t have to wait until host Claudia Winkleman returns to get your fix of TV psychological warfare.
From wilderness challenges to a Big Brother-style game of trust with a £200,000 jackpot, and a horror whodunnit, here Jess Lester reveals the best shows available to binge now . . .
The Trust: A Game Of Greed
IN this Netflix format, strangers in a secluded villa are handed a £200,000 prize pot, which they must allocate among themselves.
They can vote each other out anonymously, to potentially increase their individual share, while facing a series of tests.
At the end of each episode, a trust ceremony reveals all.
Bullsh*t: The Game Show
IN this Netflix show, players answer a series of trivia questions to move their way up a money ladder to reach the £785,000 pot.
But their answers do not have to be correct – they just can’t get called out for lying.
If fellow players correctly call out a contestant for “bullsh*t”, they are eliminated from the game.
The Devil’s Plan
TWELVE contestants on this Netflix show face off in games of strategy, knowledge and wit to determine who is the brainiest.
Players decide who goes to “prison”, with bedrooms doubling as cells, stopping them from competing in further games.
Those with the most “pieces”, or bargaining chips, make it through to the final.
The Circle
IN this Netflix strategy game, first shown on Channel 4, players living in a block of flats compete as themselves or with a fake persona to befriend and/or catfish their way to the prize.
They communicate solely through messaging devices to win popularity points, with the lowest-rated stars facing elimination.
Outlast
SHOWING on Netflix, 16 survivalists – split into four teams – compete to win a £785,000 prize after being stranded in the wilds of Alaska with meagre supplies.
There are no rules and no end date, but the players must be part of a team to win.
As contestants drop out, the last two teams race for the big prize.
Squid Game: The Challenge
A REALITY take on Netflix’s hit Korean drama Squid Game, this sees 465 players compete to win £3.6million through a series of games and tests of popularity and loyalty.
Contestants are given the chance to kill off other hopefuls and the games continue until just one player is left standing, taking home the epic jackpot.
The Mole
NETFLIX revamped this Noughties US format, which sees 12 contestants compete to add money to a group pot, all while trying to discover the saboteur among them.
The contestant who successfully guesses the identity of the Mole at the end of the season wins the accumulated prize.
Killer Camp
THIS ITV series sees strangers stuck in a “horror whodunnit” at an Eighties-inspired camp, Mount Pleasant.
The gang have to figure out who among them is the secret murderer before they end up “dead”.
If the survivors reveal the killer, they win the prize, otherwise the murderer takes it all.
The Bridge: Race to a Fortune
THIS Channel 4 show, set in Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay and hosted by AJ Odudu and former Royal Marines commando Aldo Kane, sees two teams race to build a 1,000-foot bridge in just 12 days.
Contestants can bow out early and steal some cash.
But only one person from the winning team takes home the prize.
