The Traitors season 2: BBC reveals start date for new series

Season one of the show concluded back in December 2022 with Aaron, Hannah and Meryl successfully banishing all the Traitors to take home the grand prize.

Fans of the show have been patiently waiting for season two to air ever since.

The BBC released a teaser clip for The Traitors season two back in October while also including a sneaky hidden cameo on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing that had fans losing their minds. 

But now the broadcaster has revealed the start date for season two of the hit reality game show.

The new season of The Traitors will once again be filmed in a beautiful castle in the Scottish Highlands and will see the return of host Claudia Winkleman as she greets 22 strangers who will be hoping to win up to £120,000.

When is The Traitors season 2?

The Traitors will return for a second series on Wednesday, January 3 and will air on BBC One and iPlayer at 9pm.
