A local kindergarten teacher appeared on national television Monday night in the Season 2 premiere of “The Traitors Canada.” 

CTV, the television network that hosts the show, said in a release that suspicion and treachery are on the schedule of the original unscripted competition series that has returned for its second season, hosted by award-winning actress Karine Vanasse. 

The competition is hosting 22 players, with three of them being from Alberta including Lethbridge’s own Laurie McIntosh. Players compete in a thrilling and cunning game of cat and mouse with the goal of securing a cash prize of up to $100,000, says the network.

According to the release the show takes place in a historic manor in the outskirts of Montreal where participants take part in a series of explosive and exhilarating missions with a common goal – build up the prize pot in hopes of making it far enough in the game to claim it in the end. 

The release also explains that in midst of the Faithful hides the threat of sabotage by Traitors who have their own agenda – eliminate anyone that may stand in the way of them taking the prize for themselves. 

With an unknown number of Traitors lurking amongst them, the Faithful must work together to unmask and banish the Traitors from the game before they themselves are killed off, as the Traitors will assemble in darkness each night to murder a new Faithful, secretly sending them home, betrayed and penniless.

In the Season 2 premiere of The Traitors Canada, “A Sacrificial Arrival” host  Vanasse welcomed 22 new guests to her manor and determines their fate in the game as either a Faithful or Traitor once the players take their seats at the roundtable. Following a mission that kicks things off with a bang, the Traitors meet at the conclave and must agree on their first murder of the season.

For viewers eager to take a closer look as the players make their moves throughout the season, a special extended version of each episode is available to stream on Crave every Tuesday starting today.
