The Celebrity Traitors Season 2 Premieres on BBC One
Twenty-one famous faces head to Ardross Castle in Scotland for ten episodes of strategy, deceit, and a charity prize.
The second season of The Celebrity Traitors kicked off on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, welcoming a new group of twenty-one prominent figures to Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands. Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the ten-episode reality competition series features celebrities attempting to secure up to £100,000 for charity through a combination of teamwork, deduction, and deception.
Among the headline names participating in the 2026 season are actors Michael Sheen and Bella Ramsey, musicians James Blunt and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, presenters Maya Jama and Amol Rajan, and comedians including James Acaster, Joe Lycett, Miranda Hart, and Romesh Ranganathan. Other notable contestants stepping into the castle include Richard E. Grant, Ross Kemp, Jerry Hall, Joanne McNally, Julie Hesmondhalgh, King Kenny, Myha'la, Professor Hannah Fry, Rob Beckett, Sebastian Croft, and Sharon Rooney.
The ten-episode run airs twice weekly on Thursday and Friday evenings at 8 p.m. BST. Following its debut on October 1, 2026, the season advances through a series of demanding missions, tense breakfast reveals, and strategic Round Table discussions designed to expose the secret Traitors hidden among the Faithful.
International audiences have multiple ways to stream the season across different regions. In Canada, viewers can watch episodes on Crave, while fans in Australia can access the show for free on network 10 or via Paramount Plus. New Zealand viewers stream the series on ThreeNow, which picks up episodes shortly after their UK broadcast.
Viewers in the United States anticipate the arrival of the season on Peacock later in the fourth quarter of 2026, continuing the platform's role as the home for the franchise stateside. Anticipation surrounding the psychological game remains high following the success of previous iterations, prompting fans to closely follow every twist, banishment, and unexpected murder throughout the castle.
The season concludes with its final episode scheduled for Friday, October 30, at 8 p.m., where surviving contestants discover whether the Faithful have successfully eliminated every Traitor or if a master of deception claims the ultimate victory for charity.
