Host Claudia Winkleman will welcome an eclectic mix of celebrities to The Traitors castle for the second series of The Celebrity Traitors, set to air on BBC One and iPlayer later in 2026. The show, produced by Studio Lambert Scotland, will feature 21 famous faces competing in the ultimate game of deception for a charity prize of up to £100,000.
The line-up spans BAFTA and BRIT award winners, social media stars, actors, comedians, presenters, and more. Participants will question who to trust, who deserves banishment, and who is secretly plotting murder under cover of darkness.
Series One, which debuted in October 2025, was a runaway success with an average audience of 14.9 million across its run and a peak of 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, achieved a 12.5 million 28-day average, up 22% on Series Three. BBC iPlayer drove 53% of viewing, with 6.6 million viewers, increasing 28% on the third series.
The Celebrity Traitors series two (10 x 60) is commissioned by Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment Commissioning for the BBC. Executive producers from Studio Lambert Scotland include Mike Cotton, Sarah Fay, Lewis Thurlow, and Katy Fox. The show was created by IDTV in cooperation with RTL Creative Unit, with All3Media International as global partner.
