Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Traitors, a TV competition show presented by Claudia Winkleman, had us all hooked at the end of 2022, and now, just weeks after the first series reached its dramatic finale, the US version is about to begin.
Broadcast on the BBC and described by fans as a spin-off of The Hunger Games set in the Scottish Highlands, The Traitors saw 22 strangers collaborate across a series of tasks to win up to £120,000, all while trying to eliminate three traitors nominated by Winkleman.
Both the UK and US versions of The Traitors are set at the same location of Ardross Castle, which can be found in 100 acres of parkland on the River Alness, north of Inverness. Built in the 1700s, the castle isn’t open to the public but can be hired as a corporate event location or wedding venue.
Presented by Scottish actor Alan Cumming of Goldeneye, Eyes Wide Shut and Hamlet fame, The Traitors US arrives in mid-January and is available to watch in the UK.
For all you need to know about the US series, including when it starts and how to watch every episode in the UK, continue reading this article.
