Contestants form teams to complete challenging missions, earning money for a prize pot.

Meanwhile, traitors lurk amongst them, plotting against the loyal contestants.

The Dutch and British versions used a gothic castle as their primary set.

Produced by Endemol Shine, the Australian version will be filmed in a grand hotel.

Rodger said The Traitors will bring viewers plenty of excitement - even 'murder'.

'Who doesn't love a great murder mystery?' he teased in a statement.

'This... has all the intrigue and glamour of your favourite whodunnit.'

Favourite: This will be Rodger's first major TV appearance since Doctor Doctor, the comedy-drama in which he played the lead role, was axed by Nine after five seasons in 2021

The Underbelly star said contestants will need to navigate trust, betrayal and murder.

'I'm especially looking forward to watching our players pick each other off, one by one in the ultimate game of deception,' he added. 

This will be Rodger's first major TV appearance since Doctor Doctor, the comedy-drama in which he played the lead role, was axed by Nine after five seasons in 2021.

He made sporadic appearances as a fill-in host for Today Extra after the cancellation.
