The Emmy-winning host details how he's "even more naughty and like an old trickster than ever" selecting the Traitors for season 3 of his Peacock reality competition hit.

“Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree, while the Faithful try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game. If the Faithful contestants banish all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if a Traitor or Traitors makes it to the end, they will steal all the money.”

Cumming was born not far from the Scottish Highlands filming location of TheTraitors in Aberfeldy, Perthshire, and grew up on the east coast of the country in a similarly expansive feudal estate, Panmure Estate, where his father was head forester.

"The Traitors" dropped the first three episodes of Season 3 on Peacock on Thursday night, giving viewers a taste of the treachery and murders to come.
