The BBC doesn\u2019t mess around.

The numbers behind Season 1 tell the full story of why everyone is so hyped for the follow-up. Season 1 of The Celebrity Traitors<\/em> debuted on BBC iPlayer and BBC One in October 2025 and was watched by an average audience of 14.9M, with a peak of 15.4M for the finale. Comedian Alan Carr<\/a> emerged as the unlikely champion, outlasting the likes of Stephen Fry<\/a> and Celia Imrie<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe BBC clearly saw what it had on its hands early. In March 2026, the BBC announced a three-year deal that will keep The Celebrity Traitors<\/em> and The Traitors<\/em> in production until 2030. That\u2019s not a show \u2014 that\u2019s a franchise.<\/p>\nThe BBC\u2019s head of entertainment had flagged just how big the series had become even before Season 1 aired. Kalpna Patel-Knight<\/strong> said: \u201cThe Traitors<\/em> has well and truly established itself as an unmissable highlight of the year and the news of a fourth outing, alongside a brand new celebrity version coming to the BBC, will take the series to a whole new level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Myha\u2019la](\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/Zzsh3bg3cPHrSAEEuxPSlQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTEyNDI7aD0xOTA2\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/aol_socialite_life_810\/10a2042e5dc97f1c4e629edc5719d94c\"\/)

The show was immediately renewed for a second season on the back of its huge initial success, and the buzz around the new UK Celebrity Traitors<\/em> cast has been building for months.<\/p>\nAmong the more intriguing additions: Romesh Ranganathan will be joining his fellow comedian and presenter, Rob Beckett, at the castle.
