Celebrity Traitors: First-look at brand new series - everything we know so far including cast and launch date
A brand new clip from the upcoming series of Celebrity Traitors has been released ahead of the show’s highly-anticipated premiere.
The hit competition show is inviting celebrities into the fray this autumn, with a spin-off from the mega successful main series of The Traitors.
The Celebrity Traitors will see host Claudia Winkleman guide a group of conniving celebs through the Traitors journey and they murder, deceive and deduce the traitors amongst the group.
Excitement has been high among fans ever since the series was announced in August 2024. Viewers have waited patiently as the series came together with a star-studded cast being whisked away to the famous Traitors castle in the Scottish Highlands earlier this year.
The BBC has now confirmed even more details about the upcoming series, as well as releasing a sneak-peak first-look at what appears to be the first roundtable of the series. Claudia can be seen in the clip explaining to the celebrities: “This game doesn’t care who you are. Your glamorous lives count for nothing.
“Most of you will be murdered. Sorry about that...”
