Discover the casting and strategic stakes of season 7 of Les Traîtres, where athletes, celebrities, and influencers face off in a mysterious castle.
First broadcast in 2022, Les Traîtres has become the must-watch show for fans of televised strategies. Hosted with panache by Éric Antoine, the game brings together cunning and bluffs each season in a castle filled with intrigue, in an atmosphere of manipulations, alliances, and revelations. While season 6 has just started its battle on M6, the channel surprises its audience by revealing the highly anticipated casting for season 7, recently shot at Château de Bournel, in Franche-Comté. Get ready to see new personalities arrive, including seasoned athletes, TV personalities, and influencers with millions of followers… The excitement is at its peak!
The first eight candidates of season 7 of Les Traîtres finally unveiled!
The suspense around the next edition of Les Traîtres came to an end with the official announcement of eight personalities ready to take on the challenge. Alongside host Éric Antoine, this season’s lineup includes Benjamin Paire, a tennis player known for his eccentric and formidable reputation on the courts, and Frédérick Bousquet, a four-time European swimming champion. The show also features digital and television stars like Baghera Jones, a popular streamer with over 736,000 fans on Twitch, and the iconic TV host Valérie Damidot, known for her home improvement shows on M6. To spice up the adventure, Nicolas Waldorf, star hairstylist from Incredible Transformations, will be joined by his sister Virginie Waldorf. The cast also includes Ulysse, a revelation from Star Academy 2024 after a remarkable stint at Château de Dammarie-les-Lys, and Sarah Saldmann, a lawyer who was seen in the previous edition and is ready to return to the front line.
The arrival of this new and unprecedented group promises an electric atmosphere, driven by the diversity of talents and universes. Between competitive mindset, sense of humor, and camera experience, the newcomers seem perfectly poised to shake up the game. And this is just a teaser: twenty personalities are expected in total for this new season, with more names that are sure to generate buzz.
The strategic and emotional intricacies of Les Traîtres: a recipe that always fascinates
The game orchestrated by Éric Antoine once again relies on the explosive mix of broken alliances and nighttime plots. The mechanics attract as much for the psychological tension as for highlighting personalities willing to do anything to avoid elimination. The ongoing season 6 has set the tone with iconic sequences: clashes between candidates, private discussions, and surprising eliminations punctuate each episode, like the memorable departure of Major Mouvement and Ginger Bitch after just three weeks of play…
Fans of the show know that each season brings a dose of intense emotions and twists. Between accusations, group strategies, and moments of doubt, the adventure transcends mere entertainment to reveal the dark – or bright – sides of each participant. Season 6, currently airing on Saturdays, has already sparked controversy, with intense tensions and ephemeral alliances. Fatou Guinéa and Sophie Davant clashed in a heated exchange, while Adriana Karembeu stood out for her determination, even going as far as threatening a rival. As a former contestant put it: “I’ve never laughed and cried so much in a show. There’s a lot of emotion, we’re tired, it goes quickly” (Ginger Bitch, Ouest-France).
The chemistry between sports champions, media figures, and new web stars adeptly refreshes the format, as highlighted by Éric Antoine himself on Tél-Leisure: “They are used to competition,” referring to athletes, while emphasizing the constant pressure felt by content creators: “They fear any change in their image. They are always afraid.” The 2026 cast already promises to be one of the most eventful.
