The reality show Traitors came to an end on June 25, crowning the Faithful, Juan Ferrer and Charo, as the winners who took home a prize of 50,000 euros after eliminating Paula, who revealed herself as the Traitor. The final of the program achieved an 8.3% share and attracted 584,000 viewers, although other premieres in the same time slot, such as La conexión and Todo por ti, garnered higher audiences.
Numbers that have not stopped falling
This second season of the show, which aired on Antena 3 after the first on Max, did not achieve the expected success, registering a notable drop in viewership since its debut. The game of deception and betrayal that characterizes Traitors seemed to have lost momentum compared to the original version, likely due to an expansion of the duration of the galas that affected the pace of the show. In its first gala, Traitors reached a peak of 968,000 viewers and an 11.6% share, but that figure deflated over time.
Despite its innovative proposal within the television landscape, the results so far suggest that Traitors may not be renewed by Atresmedia, especially given the growing competition from other more accessible and lighter style formats that viewers seem to prefer. The uncertainty about another edition intensifies, as no new plans for the program within the network have been confirmed.
The challenges in attracting an audience suggest that the adaptation of this format, despite being different, has not managed to draw the same viewer base as in its first version. Rumors indicate that the network may be considering other projects to fill its slot in the programming, which could mean the end of Traitors in terms of its broadcast on open channels.
