The Traitors US in NZ: Season 5 on ThreeNow and Three
The Traitors US: New Blood, which is season 5, starts on Three on Thursday 5 November at 9.30pm, with the second episode on Friday 6 November at 9.25pm. ThreeNow has had the season since Friday 18 September, so if you can’t wait, the first eight episodes have been there for weeks. Three’s slot after Friday 6 November is not yet confirmed.
What time is The Traitors US on Three?
9.30pm on Thursday 5 November and 9.25pm on Friday 6 November, each an hour long. We read the Freeview guide on Wednesday 4 November, when it was open to Wednesday 11 November. It lists no Traitors US on Three from Saturday 7 to Wednesday 11 November.
| Date (NZ) | Episode | Channel | Stream |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thursday 5 November | Episode 1, “A New Dawn Is Rising”, 9.30pm | Three | ThreeNow since Friday 18 September |
| Friday 6 November | Episode 2, “I’m A Sweaty Boy”, 9.25pm | Three | ThreeNow since Friday 18 September |
| Saturday 7 to Wednesday 11 November | None listed | — | — |
The guide gives Alan Cumming as host and says he opens the doors of his Scottish castle to 22 everyday Americans, with up to $250,000 on offer. It doesn’t say which currency, so we have kept the figure as written.
Where can I stream The Traitors US in New Zealand?
ThreeNow, and it is well ahead of Three. ThreeNow’s catalogue for New Blood lists eight episodes with these dates: two each on Friday 18 and Friday 25 September, then one a week on Fridays 9, 16, 23 and 30 October. Nothing is dated Friday 2 October. The September drops are stamped 7pm and the October ones 8pm, which is the clocks changing on 27 September, not a new release time.
That puts Three about seven weeks behind its own streaming service: 18 September to 5 November is 48 days. Anyone who waited for the Three broadcast has been watching it a lot later than the catalogue allows.
Are the earlier seasons of The Traitors US on ThreeNow?
Yes. The separate listing for The Traitors US carries seasons 1 to 4. The catalogue gives seasons 1 and 2 an expiry date of 14 November 2026, season 3 of 31 December 2026, and season 4 of 31 December 2027. Expiry dates in a catalogue can be extended, and we don’t know whether these will be, so check ThreeNow before you start a long rewatch of seasons 1 and 2.
Is Three a day behind the US?
Not yet confirmed. Three has not said, and we haven’t seen a source that does. This page doesn’t cover who has been banished or murdered in the American run, and it doesn’t cover the final. If you want to avoid spoilers, stay out of the ThreeNow comments until you catch up.
