Overview

  • The series begins Wednesday, October 8 at 9 p.m. on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, continuing on Wednesdays and Thursdays with a 70‑minute launch and a nine‑episode run.
  • Gameplay mirrors the original: secret Traitors “murder” players overnight, Faithfuls vote to banish suspects at the round table, and missions build the communal prize pot.
  • Filmed at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands, the cast features Stephen Fry, Tom Daley, Charlotte Church, Kate Garraway, Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross and 13 others.
  • BBC listings include companion show The Traitors Uncloaked with Ed Gamble after the main broadcast, with catch-up options on iPlayer and additional slots on BBC Three.
  • Commentators have reported a flat £40,000 appearance fee per celebrity, which the BBC has not confirmed, and Martin Lewis said he turned down an invitation due to scheduling.
