'The Traitors' revolves around celebrities competing in challenges for a grand prize of $250,000 while attempting to identify traitors among them. Following its hit debut season that featured a mix of celebrities and non-celebrities, the show has gained considerable momentum.

The show premiered on January 12, with viewers given access to the first three episodes in one go, maintaining engagement by subsequent episodes released weekly on Thursdays at 6pm PT/9pm ET. Each episode lasts approximately one hour with a total of 11 episodes in the season.

Whilst Wilder's boxing future remains uncertain with talks about potential fights with Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou hovering but unconfirmed, audiences are now keen to see how Wilder will maneuver through the complex social dynamics within ‘The Traitors’ and whether his competitive edge will translate well within reality TV.

Fans anticipate that Wilder's presence on "The Traitors" may offer a chance for redemption after his disappointment in the ring and are eager to see if his performance on the show can match or surpass his athletic achievements. The expectations are high as they hope for better performance in this arena than in his recent fight.
