Cumming is currently making waves as the host and producer of Peacock’s hit reality show, “The Traitors.” The series, a psychological adventure filled with intrigue and deceit, has become a cultural phenomenon. Its second season launch week ranked it as the #1 unscripted series across all streaming platforms in the US. It also dominated the Top 10 for overall minutes viewed and maintained its popularity for five weeks during its second season.
“The Traitors” has garnered critical acclaim, winning a 2023 Emmy Award for Outstanding Casting for a Reality Program and receiving four 2024 Critics’ Choice Real TV Award wins.
