The first season of the New Zealand television series The Traitors NZ premiered on Three on 7 August 2023. The season was won by Anna Reeve and Sam Smith, as faithfuls, with Brooke Howard-Smith, placing as runner-up, as a traitor.
The first season of The Traitors NZ featured celebrities competing alongside members of the general public.
The contestants arrived at the castle and are referred to as the "Faithful". Among them are the "Traitors", a group of contestants secretly selected by the host, Paul Henry. Each night, the Traitors would decide who to "murder" and that same contestant would leave the game. After the end of each day, where the contestants participated in various challenges to add money to the prize fund, they would participate in the Round Table, where they must decide who to banish from the game, trying to identify the Traitor.
If all the remaining players are Faithful, then the prize money is divided evenly among them. However, if any Traitors remain, they win the entire pot.
The contestants were divided by half being celebrities and the other half being regular people.
