The Celebrity Traitors is set to return to BBC One and iPlayer later this year with its biggest celebrity cast to date. Host Claudia Winkleman will welcome 21 famous faces to the Traitors castle for the ultimate game of deception and betrayal, with a cash prize of up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
The cast includes a diverse mix of personalities, from BAFTA and BRIT award winners to social media stars, actors, comedians, and presenters. The celebrities will question who they can trust, who deserves to be banished, and who is secretly plotting murder under the cover of darkness.
Series One of The Celebrity Traitors, which debuted in October 2025, was a runaway success, averaging 14.9 million viewers across the run, with a peak of 15.4 million for the finale. It became the top entertainment episode since 2016 and the number one series across all genres and platforms in 2025.
The fourth series of The Traitors, which aired in January 2026, also performed strongly, achieving a 12.5 million 28-day average, up 22% on Series Three. BBC iPlayer drove the majority of viewing, accounting for 6.6 million of the audience.
The Celebrity Traitors series two (10 x 60) is produced by Studio Lambert Scotland for BBC One and iPlayer, commissioned by Kalpna Patel-Knight. Executive producers include Mike Cotton, Sarah Fay, Lewis Thurlow, and Katy Fox. The series will air later in 2026.
