The show, which will launch in 2027, will be directed by Olivier Award winner Robert Hastie (Operation Mincemeat, Standing at the Sky’s Edge). Finnemore is best known as the wrier of long running BBC Radio 4 sitcom Cabin Pressure starring Benedict cumberbatch and Roger Allam. 

The UK version has just completed its thrilling fourth series with the Traitors Rachel and Stephen beating the Faithfuls. 

Producer Stephen Lambert, CEO of Studio Lambert, said: “Taking The Traitors from screen to stage is a hugely exciting next step for this much-loved brand. Partnering with Neal Street Productions, a true theatrical powerhouse, allows us to reimagine the show as a bold and surprising theatrical performance. Faithful fans should expect an intense, joyful night out as we reveal a thrilling new hunting ground for our Traitors.”

Producer Caro Newling, Co-Founder of Neal Street Productions, said: “In developing The Traitors for the stage, Neal Street and Studio Lambert have curated a team of brilliant faithful theatre-makers led by director Rob Hastie and writer John Finnemore to bring a bold, structural twist to the format that only the live medium can provide.”
