Traitors fans in Orlando got a treat on October 15.
Three cast members from NBC’s The Traitors: New Blood made a special appearance at Universal’s Great Movie Escape at Universal CityWalk, which is part of Universal Orlando Resort.
Logan Smith, Mark Zgoda, and Kriste Lewis held meet-and-greets, photo opportunities, and autograph signings from 5:00 to 6:30 PM. Universal described it as another way for audiences to step beyond the screen and into the world of The Traitors.
That’s a fun fit, because the Traitors theme is already part of the venue. Inside Universal’s Great Movie Escape, there are two themed bars. The Library is on the first floor, and The Roundtable is on the second. The bars have been redone with Traitors-inspired looks and menus, and you can order themed specialty drinks.
If you’re a fan of the show, there’s also plenty to look at. Set elements, props, and costumes worn by host Alan Cumming are on display, so it doubles as a little museum for the show.
You can visit the Traitors experience Wednesdays through Sundays from 3 to 11 PM. Admission to the bars doesn’t require park admission, but the escape room attractions are separate, so plan accordingly if you’re hoping to do both.
NBC also shared a few numbers about the show’s reach. The Traitors: New Blood added more than 9.6 million new cross-platform viewers in its first few weeks, bringing the franchise to nearly 26 million total viewers.
I love when a TV show gets a real home at a theme park, and CityWalk is a great spot for it since you can grab a themed drink without buying a park ticket. A show about secrets and betrayal is also a natural fit for a bar with a library and a roundtable. If you missed the cast appearance, you can still see the props and costumes, and I’d plan to go in the evening when it’s open until 11 PM so you get the full effect. And if you’ve got a group of friends who love debating who the Traitor is, this might be the most fun night out at CityWalk.
