Season 1

The second season of the New Zealand television series The Traitors NZ premiered on Three on 1 July 2024. The season was won by Bailey Kench, as a traitor, with Donna Officer, placing as runner-up, as a faithful. [1]

Production

The second season of The Traitors NZ featured twenty-two new players ready to play the game. [2] Filming for the season moved to Claremont Castle. The season was completed in April 2024. [3]

Format

The contestants arrived at the castle and are referred to as the "Faithful". Among them are the "Traitors", a group of contestants secretly selected by the host, Paul Henry. Each night, the Traitors would decide who to "murder" and that same contestant would leave the game. After the end of each day, where the contestants participated in various challenges to add money to the prize fund, they would participate in the Round Table, where they must decide who to banish from the game, trying to identify the Traitor.

If all the remaining players are Faithful, then the prize money is divided evenly among them. However, if any Traitors remain, they win the entire pot. [4]

Contestants

Unlike the first season, this cast is made up of a complete new cast. [5]

Notes
  1. There was no Murder as Cat, Donna, Jane & Stephen chose for a Banishment to take place.
  2. At the end of episode 8, Bailey and Mark were chosen by the remaining Traitor to reveal themselves at night. Both to plead with the Traitor to either Recruit them or Murder them. The Traitor chose to Recruit Mark, but he turned it down and was Murdered instead. Bailey was recruited by default.
  3. Jason used the Dagger making his vote count twice.
