The Traitors: The Power of the Seer (Peacock, Thursday, February 27, 2025)

The Traitors US

Things are about to get interesting at the Traitors’ roundtable. In “The Power of the Seer,” Peacock’s reality competition series throws a game-changing twist into the mix, borrowed from its UK counterpart. And if the UK version is anything to go by, this new power could spell disaster for the players involved.

The “Seer” role allows one player to directly interrogate another, forcing them to reveal their allegiance as either a Traitor or a Faithful. This high-stakes gamble has the potential to expose hidden agendas and shift the balance of power within the game. But the recent UK season suggests that this power can be a double-edged sword, often leading to the downfall of both the questioner and the questioned.

And will the Traitors be able to manipulate the situation to their advantage? Find out this Thursday at 9:01 PM ET/PT on Peacock.
