What is “The Traitors: New Blood” about?

In each episode, players work together in a series of missions to build a prize fund worth up to $250,000. Most of the players will be designated as Faithful, but hidden amongst them are the Traitors, whose goal is to move through the game undetected, eliminating the Faithful. By the end of the game, if any Traitors remain, they will claim the entire prize pool. If no Traitors remain, the prize pool will be split evenly between all remaining Faithful.
