Claudia Winkleman has announced the line-up for the second series of The Celebrity Traitors, which will air on BBC One and iPlayer later this year. The show, produced by Studio Lambert Scotland, brings together 21 famous faces to compete in the ultimate game of deception and betrayal for a charity prize of up to £100,000.
The cast includes an eclectic mix of personalities, from BAFTA and BRIT award winners to social media stars, actors, comedians, and presenters. They will gather at the Traitors castle to question who they can trust, who deserves to be banished, and who is secretly plotting murder under the cover of darkness.
The first series, which debuted in October 2025, was a runaway success, averaging 14.9 million viewers across its run and peaking at 15.4 million for the finale. It became the top entertainment episode across the market since 2016 and the number one series across all genres and platforms in 2025.
The fourth series of the original The Traitors, which aired in January 2026, also performed strongly, achieving a 12.5 million 28-day average — up 22% on the third series. BBC iPlayer drove 53% of viewing, with 6.6 million viewers, an increase of 28% on the previous series.
The Celebrity Traitors series two (10 x 60) has been commissioned by Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment Commissioning for the BBC. Executive producers are Mike Cotton, Sarah Fay, Lewis Thurlow, and Katy Fox, with commissioning editors Neil McCallum and Michael Jochnowitz.
