The Celebrity Traitors Sets 1 October Return on BBC

The Celebrity Traitors returns to BBC One and iPlayer on 1 October, with the BBC releasing a new trailer to confirm the date.

The trailer brings back host Claudia Winkleman and offers the first full look at the celebrity cast heading to the Scottish Highlands. The setting is the same castle base used for the main show, in a series produced by Studio Lambert Scotland for BBC One and iPlayer, according to Deadline.

The series two line-up includes Bella Ramsey, the star of The Last of Us, alongside presenter Maya Jama and actor Richard E. Grant. They are joined by broadcaster Amol Rajan, comedian James Acaster, actors Michael Sheen, Miranda Hart, Ross Kemp and Myha'la.

The run will consist of 10 60-minute episodes. That episode count was confirmed by the BBC ahead of launch, with the new series following the regular pattern of weekly episodes on BBC One and full availability on iPlayer, the BBC's on-demand service.

Viewers will also get a companion show on launch night. The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked starts on Thursday 1 October at 9:15pm on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds, according to the BBC.

The return follows a large audience for series one. The first celebrity series debuted on BBC iPlayer and BBC One in October 2025 and averaged 14.9 million viewers, with a peak of 15.4 million for the finale. Comedian Alan Carr won that series.

For fans, this means a short wait. Three weeks out, the date is locked, the cast is named and the trailer is out.
