After gaining fans and Emmys for its run on Peacock, the stylish psychological reality competition set in a Scottish castle and hosted by Alan Cumming is finally making its bow on broadcast TV. The premiere of “The Traitors: New Blood” (NBC, 8 p.m.), unlike recent seasons, doesn’t depend on familiar faces or reality star retreads. Instead, it’s 22 Americans seeking the $250,000 prize. The first two episodes are followed by an episode of “The Voice” (NBC, 10 p.m.) that anticipates the start of its 30th season on Monday.
“Traitors” plays opposite a live, two-hour “Big Brother” (CBS, 8 p.m.) that promises two evictions.
Ella Beatty gives a more glamorous look at the woman who legend said gave her mother 40 whacks (and her father 41) in the new eight-episode “Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story” (Netflix, streaming), from the makers of the “Monster” series that previously dramatized Jeffrey Dahmer, Ed Gein and the Menendez Brothers, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. So there’s a lot of blood and sexual tension.
More monsters? Here’s the final two episodes of “Ted Bundy: Dialogue with the Devil” (A&E, 9 p.m.).
From Turkey comes the series “Not a Stranger” (Netflix, streaming), about a woman who hires the wrong nanny.
