- *The Traitors *season 4 stars Maura Higgins and Rob Rausch are reuniting on reality TV to co-host a new show for Peacock.
- The series, with a working title of *Get Me Out of Here*, is set to premiere in 2027.
- Pairing celebrities with non-famous friends and family members, the show will see teams compete for a $100,000 prize.
Maura Higgins got her (Birkin) bag, and now she’s ready to join fellow *Traitors* star Rob Rausch on another reality show.
Peacock announced on Friday that the duo will co-host a new series for the streamer that pairs celebrities with a non-famous friend or family member to compete in a “gauntlet of challenges” for a chance to win $100,000.
Set to premiere in 2027, the series, with a working title of *Get Me Out of Here*, comes from *Love Island USA *producer ITV America. David George, David Eilenberg, and Jordana Hochman will executive produce.
“An and amped-up take on the massive global format *I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here, *the series is set in a dense and unforgiving jungle, pairing celebrities with a non-famous friend or family member in the ultimate test of friendship,” Peacock shared in a press release. “Stripped of every luxury – and the perks, privileges, and creature comforts of celebrity – duos face a series of physical and psychological challenges, earning rewards to avoid elimination. But here, the celebrities don’t call the shots – instead, they must partner up, taking the lead or deferring to their bestie, all while the treacherous environment takes its toll.”

'The Traitors' star Tara Lipinski says she was 'heartbroken' for stunned Maura Higgins

“Relying on each other like never before, teams must navigate everything the jungle throws their way as their grit, stamina and resilience are pushed to the limit,” the description continues. “With their bonds under pressure, the jungle will reveal which celebs can adapt to life without the VIP treatment, and which BFFs can handle being stuck in the jungle with a star. In the end, only one team will be left standing to claim the $100,000 grand prize.”
Rausch was the sole winner of *The Traitors* season 4, tricking Higgins into believing he was a faithful until the end. Rausch revealed his real role on the show in one of the most devastating and shocking moments in reality TV history. To make it up to her, Rausch promised Higgins a Birkin bag from Hermés, which he delivered on.
