Traitors season is almost upon us, as The Celebrity Traitors is returning for a hotly anticipated second series on BBC.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of Alan Carr and emerge victorious in the game of deceit are 21 stars from the worlds of comedy, acting, music, modelling, and broadcasting.
They’ll compete to win up to £100,000 for their chosen charities in their roles as Traitors and Faithfuls at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
Filming has already wrapped, with the contestants and host Claudia Winkleman remaining tight-lipped on the outcome… but if past series are anything to go by, we’re sure there’ll be fireworks.
Also returning will be spin-off show The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, hosted by Ed Gamble and offering viewers a deep dive into the cast’s scheming, murderous ways and the eliminations after they air.
Expectations are high and excitement is palpable ahead of the series 2 launch, with last year’s final breaking records and exceeding 15 million viewers – so, here’s everything we know about what’s to come…
When do we expect Celebrity Traitors season 2 to be released?
Richard Osman’s claims that Celebrity Traitors will be released on September 23 have been shut down in flames.

According to The Sun, the former Pointless presenter was ‘wrong,’ and they believe that the show will likely be released in late September or early October.
Rumours online suggest an early October release date is more likely, but the BBC refused to comment when Metro asked them to address the speculation.
Still, it’s worth noting that the first season of The Celebrity Traitors dropped on October 8, 2025, so if you’re a fan, maybe don’t make any plans for that first week in October.

Who will win The Celebrity Traitors season 2?
It’s hard to say who will win The Celebrity Traitors season 2 at this point; however, a few dark horses have already started to emerge.
Alan Carr told Metro at the National Television Awards that Miranda Hart was the dark horse to watch out for.
‘Do you know what? I’m super excited about Miranda Hart because Miranda reminds me a bit of me, and if they make her a Traitor, that is gonna be TV gold,’ he told us.
Alan also said to keep an eye on ‘motormouth’ Joanne McNally, who he predicted will be a ‘whirlwind.’
We also spoke to Jonathan Ross, who told us a few celebs have reached out for advice after his stint in the famous cloak last series.
‘I spoke to quite a few of them before they went in. I had a brief chat with Michael Sheen,’ he said. ‘I had a longer chat with Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett, Maya Jama.’
Considering how well Jonathan did, it’d be silly not to think these people won’t be dangerous players.
How to watch The Celebrity Traitors season 2?
Celebrity Traitors season two will air on BBC One at 9pm and be available to watch on BBC iPlayer soon after.
If it follows the same pattern as the first series, we’ll get two episodes a week released on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
We’ve also got some good news: this new series will run for 10 episodes, not nine, which should put a smile on everyone’s faces.
