NBCUniversal is coming for your wallet as plans to raise the price of Peacock for the second time in two years get underway! The subscription price for the streaming service will increase by $2 this summer, ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The price hike starts in July, with Peacock Premium jumping to $7.99. Meanwhile, Premium Plus, the tier offering limited advertising, download capability, and live local programming, boosts to $13.99. Annual plans for Premium go up to $79.99, while Premium Plus increases to $139.99.
Woof! Peacock’s new pricing structure will go into effect on July 18 for new customers, and existing subscribers will be charged more at their next billing cycle (on or after August 17). The price increase comes as the 2024 Summer Olympics prepare to broadcast from July 26 to August 11. Plans to increase Peacock’s price come after the company said in a quarterly review that it collected more than $1.1 billion in revenue.

Exclusive: Channel 4 has delivered the verdict on which of its biggest 2023 entertainment launches have landed a second season.
Tempting Fortune, the Paddy McGuinness-hosted adventure reality series, has been given the greenlight for a supersized second season, although U.S. co-pro partner Roku is no longer involved. Danny Dyer-hosted Scared of the Dark, in which celebrities are locked in a pitch-black space for a week, will no longer be seeing the light of day and has been axed.
The move ends a several-months-long period of speculation over which major 2023 launches would be given the nod for Season 2 during which Channel 4 also culled Studio Lambert’s Traitors-esque Rise and Fall and its version of U.S. History channel hit Alone, the latter revealed by Deadline last week.
Tempting Fortune from Scoop co-producer Voltage TV will shift from six to eight episodes for Season 2. The show sees contestants dropped...

Saturday Night Live veterans Molly Shannon and Steve Koren (Superstar, A Night at the Roxbury) are again joining forces for a new comedy currently in development at HBO, our sister site Deadline reports.
Koren will pen the project starring Shannon as a woman deeply addicted to celebrity news and gossip who finally agrees to get help after her friends and family stage an intervention. But she checks into a fancy celebrity rehab center in Malibu, which she treats more like a stay at the Four Seasons rather than a place to confront her demons.

Claudia Winkleman is said to be returning to host a celebrity version of The Traitors, due to air in 2025.
Proving that there are few things more compelling to watch than a bunch of people conniving and scheming behind each other’s backs in a Scottish castle, The Traitors has been a confirmed hit for the BBC. The second series aired in January, and as we wrote at the time, it was manipulative but thoroughly addictive television.
According to Deadline, the series – which already has several incarnations in other countries – is about to be expanded further, with regular host Claudia Winkleman set to head up a celebrity version.
The series hasn’t been officially announced yet, but Deadline’s sources have said that an agreement between The Traitors’ production company Studio Lambert and the BBC “is close”. If it happens, the celebrity Traitors series will film in 2025 alongside a third series of the mainline show.

Deal or No Deal Island is heating the reality television world with a mix of old stars like Boston Rob Mariano and new fan favorites like Aron Barbell.
Both players are still going strong. Episode 5 of Deal or No Deal Season 1 ended, and only nine players are left competing in the game.
Boston Rob is a great all-around reality television player with experience on Survivor and The Amazing Race. Fans are calling for him to join Traitors Season 3.
He has teamed up with newcomer Aron Barbell, a young accountant doing surprisingly well on Deal or No Deal Island.
Most of Boston Rob’s deals with the other players are superficial and meant to let him live another week to win the big bucks in the finale.
Aron’s relationship with Boston Rob on the show is a real deal that has now branched into a real-life friendship, as he shared on his Instagram Reels.

Bachelor Alum Not Done With Reality TV
Peter Weber may be done with finding love on TV, but his career as a reality TV star is far from over. He may have a cushy job as an airline pilot, but it seems he has a newfound love of reality TV competitions after joining Season 2 of The Traitors.
He almost won the Peacock reality show but was banished before the finale. But losing didn’t deter his dreams of competing on more shows, whether it’s Dancing With The Stars or Big Brother.
With his dating history, there’s a chance he could wind up competing alongside one of his exes. That’s a fear he thought came true when he arrived to film The Traitors.

For years, Rob Mariano operated as a veritable Survivor ambassador, having first appeared in Marquesas before going on to compete five more times on the CBS franchise. His celebrity became so valuable to the network that he would compete twice on The Amazing Race and even allowed CBS to film his 2005 nuptials to fellow Survivor contestant Amber Brkirch.
But when NBC’s Deal or No Deal Island came calling with the chance to compete, Mariano didn’t hesitate to put CBS reality shows in the rearview mirror so he could try something new on a different network.
“Of course, I love CBS, that’s where I got my start, and I have been loyal to ’em for a lot of years,” Mariano tells Deadline. “But throughout the years I’ve done projects for other outlets. I did a pilot for the History Channel, I worked for the Sci-Fi channel. At...

This alliance may have been a big reason certain people made it to the end of the season.
As Traitors fans already saw, Trishelle Cannatella and Chris “Ct” Tamburello were named the winners.
Trishelle and Ct won just over $200,000 for their efforts in Scotland, and they helped bring some intense drama to the final episode.
Their experiences on The Challenge and in their Real World houses certainly helped them navigate this new reality competition show.
How they became the final two also led to a spicy reunion show with Mercedes “Mj” Javid from Shahs of Sunset lashing out about how she felt she was treated.

Do the Gamers know they don't have a monopoly on reality television?
The second season of The Traitors is a cultural experience -- it's the Megatron of reality television. It has so much built-in reality TV lore and glory that it's no wonder it sets social media on fire.
Honestly, it's the Olympics of reality television and absolutely delicious for understanding every facet of how the genre and its respective fandoms work.
It's the Super Bowl of reality greatness. While some kinks still need to be worked out with the series, from formatting to editing and plenty in between, The Traitors U.S. understands the assignment and deserves to be the hit that it is.
All renditions of The Traitors are positively devourable for various reasons. The savagery of The Traitors U.K. is epic all on its own, and The Traitors Australia has fascinating gameplay.

The Big Brother 25 season was slow and familiar.
Increasing the season to 100 days was a way for CBS to deal with the Hollywood strikes, but it also caused the season to drag for some fans.
Meanwhile, Peacock debuted The Traitors to huge fanfare, showing how reality competition shows could be fresh and fun again.
The Traitors 2 recently ended and was even more successful than the first season, leading to increased ratings and much buzz on social media.

Kate Chastain is good at The Traitors.
That’s why the producers brought the Below Deck alum back for another try.
Kate was a fan-favorite during the first season of The Traitors USA. She was good at spotting Traitors, spoke at Roundtables without a filter, and her efforts to quit the game led to some good television.
When The Traitors 2 premiered, 21 new players were trying to secure that $250,000 cash prize. But midway through the season, Kate was re-inserted on the show, sharking things up for everyone.
Kate started as a Faithful, but as Traitors began getting exposed, Phaedra Parks from Rhoa forced Kate to become a Traitor.
A short time later, Phaedra was eliminated, leaving Kate as the final Traitor standing.
What if Kate had tried to murder someone else?
With only six people left in the game, Kate was tasked with murdering one of the other five players. This...

The Traitors 2 featured Sandra Diaz-Twine as one of two women from Survivor.
While Parvati Shallow was brought on as a Traitor by Dan Gheesling from Big Brother and Phaedra Parks from Rhoa, Sandra played hard as a Faithful.
Sandra also did well by playing herself close to people she suspected of being Traitors. It almost got her to the end.
Sandra was one of the key people in getting Dan, Parvati, and Phaedra eliminated from the game. This was done while ending her Survivor feud with Parvati and developing a friendship with Phaedra.
Future players may view Sandra’s strategy as one that could work, but her downfall was that she didn’t continue fostering her relationship with one particular Faithful.
Peacock viewers watched as Sandra got turned on by someone she considered a friend in the castle. And it has had a lasting impact on her.

‘Traitors’ Winner Chris ‘Ct’ Tamburello: ‘The Game Was Designed to Keep You in a State of Confusion’
To viewers of MTV’s The Challenge, it shouldn’t have been a big surprise that Chris “Ct” Tamburello won the second season of the U.S. incarnation of Traitors alongside his longtime Challenge co-competitor Trishelle Cannatella. He’s appeared on 19 seasons of The Challenge and won $1,365,000 — more than any other contestant in the history of the show. But things looked bleak for the Challenge crew when Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio was the first Traitors contestant eliminated this season on The Traitors. “Bananas being eliminated so early doesn’t sit well with me,...

The Traitors 2 came to an epic conclusion this week.
After one final challenge to increase the prize pot, $208,000 was on the line for the Season 2 players.
Chris “Ct” Tamburello gets most of the credit for adding $50,000 in the final Mission, as he put on a show while the other players watched.
The final Traitor of the season was Kate Chastain, who was left alone after Phaedra Parks was Banished on the previous episode.
Phaedra from The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Married to Medicine had recruited Kate from Below Deck. But Kate wasn’t given much choice, as she would have been Murdered had she turned down the request.
People were on to Phaedra for a while, and she got voted out in seventh place. Kate then Murdered Shereé Whitfield from Rhoa to convince people the Bravo women weren’t working together.

Phaedra Parks has been on TV screens off and on since 2010 when she joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
After getting her marching orders from the Bravo hit under controversial circumstances in 2017, her time on the network seemed well and truly over.
Thankfully, that wasn’t the case because her appearances on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip and Married to Medicine were excellent.
However, nothing could prepare us for how iconic Parks was on The Traitors Season 2.
At the beginning of the season, there were some concerns when Alan Cummings chose her to be a traitor alongside Big Brother alum Dan Gheesling.
But armed with a killer poker face, quick wit, killer one-liners, high fashion, and a savage personality, the attorney became the best traitor to grace the show because she was unafraid to make big moves, even if it caught her a lot of heat.

Andy Cohen hosted The Traitors 2 reunion special and is teasing some drama.
The long-time Bravo host returned to the stage this past weekend to host a reunion with everyone from The Traitors 2.

Interestingly, it was filmed in this fashion, but that could lead to some interesting moments on Thursday night.
Peacock viewers can stream the final episode and reunion show for Season 2 on Thursday, March 7.
Andy says that the season finale is just over an hour long and that the reunion show should be viewed right after it.

The Traitors 2 shocked viewers by bringing back Kate Chastain from Below Deck.
The reality television star also appeared on the first season of The Traitors, which made her return very surprising.
Kate showed up at the Scotland castle midway through Season 2, leading to some questions about why she had returned.
But as The Traitors 2 gets closer to naming a winner, it seems that Kate has a route to possibly winning that $250,000 prize.
For Kate’s fans who haven’t tuned in to watch The Traitors, it is a show where contestants are competing for a prize pool. Some players are Traitors, intending to steal money from everyone else (the Faithfuls).
Like many other reality competition shows, it comes down to winning challenges and not getting voted out. One major twist is that many people get suspected of being Traitors.

Phaedra Parks decided to give Kate the chance to become a Traitor. But it wasn’t much of a choice.

Dan Gheesling began the season with Phaedra as the two Traitors. They then invited Parvati Shallow to join them.
Dan became an early target and was the first Traitor to be Banished. Parvati then invited Peter Weber to become a Traitor, but he declined.
Parvati was also Banished after acting suspiciously, leaving Phaedra as the only remaining Traitor. And that’s when the Real Housewife turned to Kate.

Jeff Zucker and Gerry Cardinale’s RedBird Imi has finalized a £1.15 billion ($1.45 billion) deal to acquire production powerhouse All3Media — the largest TV producer in the U.K. and the company behind such shows as reality series Squid Game: The Challenge and films like World War I epic 1917 — from owners Warner Bros. Discovery and John Malone’s cable and telecom giant Liberty Global.
The deal gives the new owner control over a big production business across scripted and unscripted series as well as theatrical movie titles. Earlier this year, RedBird Imi acquired a stake in Media Res, the studio behind the Apple TV+ shows The Morning Show and Pachinko, among other projects, which was founded by former HBO executive Michael Ellenberg.
Launched in late 2022 with a $1 billion war chest backed by RedBird Capital and Abu Dhabi’s Imi, RedBird Imi has the mandate to pursue investments in the news, entertainment and sports sectors.

Captain Lee Rosbach’s name has been thrown out as a possible cast member for The Traitors Season 3.
Hot on the heels of Peacock renewing The Traitors for Season 3, several names have emerged as potential contestants even as Season 2 is still playing out.
Traitors Season 2 player Dan Gheesling recently gave his thoughts on which Big Brother stars should head to the castle next.
Below Deck fans think Captain Lee should be added to that list, especially since Kate Chastain has killed it on the hit Peacock show.
“Hey @capthlr, would you go on #TraitorsUS if given the chance? I mean Kate is already one of the icons of the show and you would be too,” wrote one fan over on X (formerly Twitter).
It turns out the stud of the sea is all for taking on the challenge of The Traitors.

Clark won the BBC mystery entertainment series by outsmarting his fellow players with an increasingly daring yet brazen attitude that had the nation hooked. He was designated a ‘traitor’ from the beginning of the show and outlasted all the other competitors through a mix of trickery, misdirection and charm. In the final episode of the second season, his run-off with fellow finalist and best friend Mollie Pearce led to one of the most dramatic moments on British reality TV in recent years.

“I really think that Chef Ben would be fantastic. He would be such a good traitor,” Chastain tells TVLine, referring to Ben Robinson, the yacht chef with whom she famously sparred on multiple seasons of Bravo’s Below Deck. “I have a condo in the same building as him. He lives down the street now. And I don’t trust him at all.

It’s disappointing that the two Big Brother alums playing this season were already eliminated.
Janelle Pierzina and Dan Gheesling could have enjoyed some fun on The Traitors 2, Episode 8, but they got targeted and eliminated already.
Janelle got Banished for playing the game too fast and hard, while Dan was Banished because many people suspected him of being a Traitor.
The early exits for Janelle and Dan are very similar to how quickly Cody Calafiore and Rachel Reilly got eliminated in the first season.

Peacock wants more of the Alan Cumming-hosted unscripted series, which bends the brains of cast members and audiences alike with a psychological mystery. The Traitors Season 3 renewal arrives mid-way through the show’s second season.
The setup for The Traitors is quite genius. The series finds a group of reality stars and celebrities playing a murder mystery game in a castle in the Scottish Highlands. With instructions from the always-fabulous Alan Cumming, the group must work together on a wealth of missions to establish a prize fund worth up to a total of $250,000.

A 20-year-old BBC gameshow that bears striking resemblance to smash hit The Traitors has emerged online.
Yesterday, the Back the BBC Twitter account posted a YouTube video of a BBC series from 2004 titled Traitor, hosted by presenter Tony Livesey, in which contestants sit in a circle and try and figure out who the dishonest ‘traitors’ are to win a cash prize.
The BBC and Idtv, the Dutch producer of recent smash hit The Traitors, were taken by surprise by the emergence of this 20-year-old gameshow.
Traitor aired several episodes on the BBC in 2004. One of the former contestants, Pete Liggins, commented on X that the show was being considered as a replacement for The Weakest Link in the late afternoon slot but “I guess cost too much/was too complicated a production in comparison.”

Cirie Fields made a name for herself during four appearances on Survivor.
After winning the first season of The Traitors USA, Cirie took a shot at winning Big Brother. Her experience was not a fond one.
Cirie was very open about not enjoying the 100-day season of Big Brother 25. But has it also stuck with her?
Cirie acted miserable on the Big Brother live feeds as the days ticked off the calendar. She talked to herself often and noted that she wanted people to leave her alone.
In comparison, Cirie’s seasons of Survivor were 39 days. Her stint on The Traitors was even shorter, as they filmed it in a few weeks. Big Brother was a different beast altogether.
This underscores how Cirie is the perfect person to ask about the difficulties of each show.
Did Big Brother traumatize Cirie Fields?
