You know how this works by now – and "The Traitors New Zealand" is no different to the "The Traitors USA" and The "Traitors UK". The contestants have to find and unmask the traitors before they take out the Faithful one-by-one. Captivating television if man's unceasing determination to be self-serving and duplicitous needs reconfirming at any point. 

Here's how to watch "The Traitors NZ" online from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for FREE!

Nudist and part-time politician, host Paul Henry greets 19 contestants from across New Zealand and assigns three of them the role as traitors. And then the murdering begins as the unsuspecting (but, conversely, extremely suspecting) Faithful attempt to work out who has got it in for them.

There are shifting alliances, unbelievable acts of treachery and bare-faced lying but that is what has made "The Traitors" such a hit. Ultimately, it is an exercise in psychology as much as televisual entertainment but don't let that put you off – you might a trick or two.

Season 1 is streaming for free in the U.K. now. Read on to find out how to watch "The Traitors New Zealand" online, on TV and from anywhere.
