Alan Cumming is back as this season's host.

Three-time Emmy winner Alan Cumming is back as the host of The Traitors. Cumming has been the host of the show since it premiered on Peacock in 2023.

The Traitors racked up big at the 2026 Emmys, taking home all seven of the awards they were nominated for. Cumming won his third consecutive Emmy for best reality host, while the reality show won over fellow nominees Dancing With the Stars, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Survivor and Top Chef for Outstanding Reality Competition Program.

“I speak on behalf of all our producers who are running to the stage as though they were on a mission of The Traitors: Now they know what it feels like,” Cumming said during the acceptance speech. “Thank you to the Academy so much, especially thank you last week for all the love you showed us at the Creative Arts Emmys. It really means a lot, and it’s really inspiring us to do better and to go bigger.”

The Traitors' new spinoff premiered this week.

Traitors: New Blood is a spin-off reality competition series that features non-celebrities, unlike the original. Cumming shared that he likes the fact that the contestants are “ordinary Americans” without well-known personas.

“It was great actually because there’s more at stake,” he told People in an interview published on September 14. “Also, we don’t know anything about them, so you’re kind of more engaged because they’re not famous and we don’t have a backstory with them.”

Traitors: New Blood is only one of the spinoffs the show has, with international adaptations in the UK, Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, and Ireland.
