Commission
HBO Max has commissioned a Spanish adaptation of psychological adventure format “The Traitors.” The show is set in an atmospheric castle where 18 celebrities come together to complete a series of challenges with the objective of earning a cash prize. But the catch is, three of them are chosen to be traitors, and they must devise a plan to steal the prize instead of sharing it among the rest. The eight-part Spanish series is produced by Banijay Iberia’s Gestmusic for HBO Max, where it will play locally as “Traitors España.” The adaptation has wrapped filming and is hosted by actor and director Sergio Peris-Mencheta.
“The Traitors” was originally developed by Idtv and All3Media for RTL4 in the Netherlands, and the Spanish version will follow adaptations for M6 in France, which will feature 14 celebrity contestants including Olympian David Douillet, his wife Vanessa Douillet, model and TV presenter Delphine Wespiser, actor...
