How to watch The Traitors US in the UK and abroad
BBC’s The Traitors came to a dramatic conclusion at the end of 2022. If you cannot get enough of this deception series, then never fear – there is an American version of the game show that is kicking off later this week.
The US version of The Traitors takes place in the same Scottish castle and includes grueling tasks for the Faithfuls and Traitors once again. However, there are a few key differences. Scottish actor Alan Cumming will be presenting instead of Claudia Winkleman, and half of the contestants are celebrities (the majority are former reality show stars).

When does The Traitors (US) release?
You have not got long to wait, as the American version of The Traitors will release on 12 January 2023.

How to watch The Traitors (US) in the UK and abroad
The Traitors (US) is set to air on Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service. There are three tiers of Peacock: Free, Premium and Premium Plus. Premium (ad-supported) costs $4.99 per month, and Premium Plus (ad-free) costs $9.99 per month. The Traitors will only be available on the paid tiers.
Whilst Peacock content is available on Sky and Now, not all shows are syndicated in the UK. So far, we have no confirmation that The Traitors (US) will be available on these channels. Should this change, we will update this article.
However, there is still a way to stream the show – by using a VPN. This stands for virtual private network and allows you to browse the internet as if you are based in another country.
There are lots of VPN options out there, but the providers with the best performance and pricing are NordVPN, Surfshark and ExpressVPN. You can look at further options in our list of the best VPNs for streaming.
Once you’ve chosen your VPN, you’ll need to bypass the payment process, which can be done with an iPhone or Android device and a PayPal account.
How to register your payment details on Peacock US
We successfully managed to create a Peacock Premium account using an Android phone and ExpressVPN
Here’s what you need to do once you’ve downloaded your VPN on your mobile device:
- Launch your VPN on your iOS/Android device and connect to a US server
- Create a new Apple ID/Google Play account in your browser that’s tied to the US
- Register your new account on your iOS/Android device app store
- You should now have access to the US app store – download and install the Peacock app
- If you don’t have access to the US app store, sign into your VPN on your PC and send the app to your phone via the web
- Tap ‘skip’ if the app store asks you to add payment information to your account
- Create a new account in the Peacock app with your new email address and a password
- Use PayPal as your method of payment (this can be a UK account)
- Once your account is verified, you can sign in from your browser on your PC/laptop
During testing, I noticed that the Play Store did not change to the US version, even when creating a new account.
The way I got round this was by connecting to a VPN on my PC, signing into the Google Play Store US website, searching for the Peacock app and sending it to my phone (which was still connected to the VPN).
We have had reports of people not being able to install US streaming apps such as HBO Max on iOS as the app store forces users to register their payment details within the app store, and doesn’t accept UK PayPal if you try to register with this account.
If this happens to you, we recommend purchasing US App Store credit via a digital gift card, which can be added as a US payment option.
This can be bought from places such as Amazon US, though there are other retailers available – you’ll need a website that allows you to pay with UK bank details.
If you set your email address as the recipient, the code to redeem the money will be sent to your inbox. When you come to add the payment information, select ‘redeem gift card or code’, and you should be able to add the money as credit on your account.
With this, you should then be able to sign up for a Peacock account and change your payment information back to your UK PayPal via the website to avoid having to pay for a new gift card every single time.
