Dust off your cloaks, practise your most innocent face, and prepare to accuse absolutely everyone of murder: The Celebrity Traitors Season 2 officially enters the castle on Thursday, October 1.
After a killer first season the BBC’s celebrity spin-off is back with 21 famous faces ready to lie, scheme and side-eye one another around the Round Table. Claudia Winkleman also returns as host, armed with enough knitwear to survive all the cold-blooded murders.
This time, the potential backstabbers include Michael Sheen, Bella Ramsey, Maya Jama, James Acaster, James Blunt, Miranda Hart, Richard E. Grant, Joe Lycett, Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan – the Faithfuls have their work cut out for them.
If you’re new to the mayhem, the rules are simple. Claudia secretly selects a group of Traitors, while everyone else becomes a Faithful. The Faithfuls must identify and banish the Traitors before the Traitors can “murder” them one by one. Meanwhile, the contestants complete missions to build a prize pot of up to £100,000 for charity.
The treachery begins Thursday, October 1, at 8 p.m. on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with an extra-long 75-minute premiere. Season 2 has 10 episodes, airing on Thursdays and Fridays, before the knives come out for the finale on Friday, October 30.
