Overview
- The series launches Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer, then continues at 9pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays with a 70‑minute opener and a nine‑episode run culminating on Friday, Oct. 31.
- The cast includes Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross, Stephen Fry, Paloma Faith, Tom Daley, Kate Garraway, Charlotte Church, Clare Balding, Nick Mohammed and more.
- Nineteen contestants enter the castle as three secret Traitors work to eliminate the Faithful, who hold daily round‑table votes to banish suspects.
- Producers say celebrities play under the same rules as civilian seasons, and the prize pot this time goes to charity.
- Press previews highlight the show’s intense psychology and Winkleman’s blindfolded shoulder‑tap to select Traitors, while Alan Carr says he will ditch comedy and lean on call‑centre skills; reports suggest a second celebrity run is likely, though not officially confirmed.
