Celebrity Traitors Fans' Prayers Are Being Answered In Season 2

Celebrity Traitors Fans' Prayers Are Being Answered In Season 2

Claudia Winkleman on the set of The Celebrity Traitors The BBC has made an exciting update about the next season of The Celebrity Traitors . Earlier this year, the inaugural celebrity series of the Bafta-winning reality show became 2025’s most talked-about TV offering, so it was no great surprise when it was confirmed shortly after the finale that a second season was already being lined up . And on Monday, the BBC announced one major tweak to the format that fans are going to really love. While The Celebrity Traitors was near-unanimously praised upon its debut in October, one aspect that viewers were unhappy with was the fact it ran for just nine episodes, compared to the usual 12 for the regular run. Fortunately, this has now been upped for The Celebrity Traitors’ next outing, which a BBC press release revealed will consist of 10 episodes in total, two clocking in at 70 minutes (which we assume will be the season opener and the finale) and the others at one hour. Admittedly it’s not 12 episodes… but hey, we’ll take it. The stars of The Celebrity Traitors' first season While there’s still just under a year to go until the next season hits our screens in 2026, rumours are already swirling over which stars the iconic castle will open its doors to for the second time around – including some huge British names and a number of celebs who were previously rumoured for the first outing. Before all of that, though, there’s the regular season of The Traitors UK, with Claudia Winkleman returning in all her tartan and turtle-necked glory for series four next month as a host of new contestants battle it out to try and scoop a prize pot of up to £120,000. Meanwhile, BBC iPlayer is also home to several international versions of The Traitors, most notably the American series, which is fronted by Alan Cumming and features an all-celebrity cast .
