Who created The Traitors?

• The original social‑deduction reality format The Traitors was developed in the Netherlands by producer Marc Pos in the mid‑2010s.

• It was initially developed through his company (then part of All3Media’s Idtv and RTL’s creative unit) before being adapted for multiple international versions, including the popular BBC series in the UK.

How the idea came about

• Marc Pos has said the seed for The Traitors came after reading about the 17th‑century Batavia mutiny, which inspired the show’s themes of paranoia, betrayal, and group psychology.

• He shaped these ideas into a modern game mixing elements of party games like Werewolf/Mafia with high‑production reality TV set in castles and historic locations.

TL;DR: The TV show The Traitors was created by Dutch producer Marc Pos , who turned the Batavia mutiny story and social‑deduction party‑game mechanics into the format that now has hit versions worldwide.
