The Traitors Sweeps Emmys AGAIN and DWTS Premiere Is TONIGHT, Baby!

The Peacock murder-mystery juggernaut did it again. At the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards last night at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, The Traitors took home its third consecutive Outstanding Reality Competition Program trophy, beating Dancing with the Stars, RuPaul's Drag Race, Survivor, and Top Chef. In a full clean sweep, the show won all seven categories it was nominated for — including Alan Cumming's third consecutive Emmy for Outstanding Host for a Reality Program. Cumming quipped that a show about treachery and betrayal keeps bringing people together, and honestly? He's not wrong.

Bravo has confirmed it will not work with Below Deck Mediterranean star Nathan Gallagher in the future, following his conviction on three counts of domestic violence in an Australian court on September 1. Gallagher — who plays bosun on Season 11, currently airing — failed to appear in court, with immigration records showing he was overseas. He is now wanted on arrest warrants in both Australia and Ireland. A Bravo spokesperson confirmed the network's decision shortly after the conviction. Gallagher's footage will remain in Season 11, which was filmed before his December 2025 arrest.

It's ballroom night, baby! Dancing with the Stars Season 35 kicks off its two-night premiere TONIGHT on ABC and Disney+ at 8 p.m. ET, live and simulcast. The star-studded cast includes Olympic gold medalist Amber Glenn, actress Julia Stiles, chef Giada De Laurentiis, reality TV royalty Maura Higgins and Ciara Miller, and Tyler Cameron with returning pro Sharna Burgess. Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough return as hosts, with Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli on the judges' panel. Season 34 champ Robert Irwin will host the brand-new DWTS After Party airing after Night 2 tomorrow.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is back for Season 7 with a supersized premiere episode TONIGHT at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. The season welcomes back Lisa Barlow, Mary Cosby, Heather Gay, Angie Katsanevas, Meredith Marks, Bronwyn Newport, and Whitney Rose — plus newcomer Ashley Quai. The season 7 trailer has already previewed marital chaos for multiple cast members, including Angie and Whitney dealing with unexpected issues in their marriages, while Bronwyn is still navigating the aftermath of her split from Todd Bradley. The ladies also head to San Francisco and Hawaii. Salt Lake, consider yourselves warned.

Now that all five episodes of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 5 have been streaming on Hulu since September 10, the internet is fully melting down. The truncated season — cut in half due to a production pause amid the Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen legal situation — follows Whitney Leavitt's emotional send-off (she's headed to Broadway as Roxie Hart in Chicago), Jessi Draper's divorce drama, and the ongoing Taylor fallout. The good news? Layla Taylor has already confirmed Season 6 is filming, with a 20-episode order in place. The MomTok saga is far from over.

CBS's Survivor 51 premieres one week from today on September 23, and Jeff Probst is calling it the beginning of 'the open era' — meaning any twist, advantage, or game mechanic from the show's 26-year history can show up at any time without warning. The season kicks off with a rare two-hour premiere and features 21 brand-new castaways (a first since Survivor: Fiji), split into two tribes. The show has already been renewed for Season 52, and Probst told Variety the casting team knows what they're doing for both. Survivor is 51 seasons deep and somehow still the most exciting Wednesday night on television.

Bravo's Next Gen NYC hosts its very first reunion special tomorrow, September 16, at 8 p.m. ET, with Andy Cohen wrangling the full cast of Real Housewives offspring and NYC socialites. The two-part event promises to address the season's messiest storyline: the Ariana Biermann-Charlie Zakkour-Liam Obergfoll love triangle chaos. In a trailer sneak peek, Ariana declares she was 'not in love with Charlie,' and Charlie appears to have a bombshell waiting in return. Brooks Marks reportedly comes in 'guns blazing.' Uncensored versions stream on Peacock the next day.

Two days from now, The Traitors gets a brand-new civilian spinoff when The Traitors: New Blood premieres Thursday, September 17 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC, with episodes available the next day on Peacock. The new season features 22 everyday Americans selected from over 80,000 applicants — a massive departure from the celebrity-heavy previous seasons — competing in Alan Cumming's Scottish Highlands castle for the prize fund. This marks the first time The Traitors has aired on NBC, bringing the Emmy-dominating format to a massive new broadcast audience just 24 hours after its third consecutive Emmy win.

The Real Housewives of New York City is back for its second episode of Season 16 tonight at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo, and the buzz around Carole Radziwill's return as a 'friend' after an eight-year absence shows no signs of quieting down. The season 16 cast — including Sai De Silva, Erin Lichy, Jessel Taank, Hailey Glassman, Erika Hammond, and Daisy Toye — has already been described by Vulture as 'fun, zippy, honest, funny, and dramatic.' Critics are calling the premiere one of the strongest RHONY season openers in years. New York City better hold onto its designer bags.
