A major stage adaptation of The Traitors is in development, with plans to launch the production in London in 2027.
Studio Lambert and Neal Street Productions have confirmed they are developing a theatrical version of the multi award-winning psychological series, which recently completed its fourth BBC One series.
The stage adaptation will be written by John Finnemore, known for Cabin Pressure and Good Omens, and directed by Olivier Award-winner Robert Hastie, whose recent work includes Operation Mincemeat and Standing at the Sky’s Edge.
The announcement follows the continued success of the television format, with The Celebrity Traitors final attracting 15 million viewers last year, making it the most watched UK television programme of 2025.
Stephen Lambert, CEO of Studio Lambert, said: “Taking The Traitors from screen to stage is a hugely exciting next step for this much-loved brand. Partnering with Neal Street Productions, a true theatrical powerhouse, allows us to reimagine the show as a bold and surprising theatrical performance. Faithful fans should expect an intense, joyful night out as we reveal a thrilling new hunting ground for our Traitors.”
Caro Newling, Co-Founder of Neal Street Productions, added: “In developing The Traitors for the stage, Neal Street and Studio Lambert have curated a team of brilliant faithful theatre-makers led by director Rob Hastie and writer John Finnemore to bring a bold, structural twist to the format that only the live medium can provide.”
Further production details, including venues and performance timelines, are expected to be announced at a later date, with a trailer released today to mark the announcement.
