- The Traitors will return on January 1, 2026, at 8pm on BBC One, with episodes airing on January 2 and 3 at 8pm and 7.45pm respectively.
- Earlier this year, Jake Brown and Leanne Quigley split £94,600 in The Traitors' finale, while celebrity contestants such as Kate Garraway and Tom Daley broadened the show's momentum.
- Alongside the series, Claudia Winkleman will return to the Scottish castle as 22 contestants compete for a prize pot worth up to £120k.
- Each episode will be available on BBC iPlayer after broadcast, and official numbers show the celebrity finale drew 15million viewers, with the BBC already renewing Celebrity Traitors.
- In promotional copy, the BBC promises 'even more twists, turns, secrets, epic missions, deception, banishments and, of course, murders aplenty', while producers say high-profile potential participants might be turned away.
