The unscripted business has had a somewhat tumultuous twelve months but things have been picking up in 2024 with a number of network and streamer commissions and renewals.
NBC’s unscripted bosses Corie Henson and Rachel Smith weighed in on the state of the unscripted universe during a TCA panel.
Henson, who is EVP, Entertainment Unscripted Content and looks after NBC and Peacock’s competition shows and entertainment formats, said she was proud of picking up The Traitors for a third season, midway through its second season, and has Love Island USA returning for season 6 this summer.

Henson said this applied to international formats such as Traitors, which is based on a Dutch format and went on to become Peacock’s most-watched reality series,...

In its first five days on the platform, “The Traitors” Season 2 has become the most-watched reality series debut on Peacock. The streaming reach is up more than 75% from Season 1, which took home the Emmy Award this year for Outstanding Casting for a Reality Program.
The first three episodes of the second season, hosted by Alan Cumming, debuted on Jan. 12.
