BBC's The Traitors confirmed for a second series with casting now open

The Traitors will return for a second series, the BBC confirmed.

The sleuthing series became one of the broadcaster's biggest hits, drawing in over 34m viewers at the end of last year. The show was a hit with younger audiences and managed to bag the top spot as the highest-rated new entertainment programme since 2017.

Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, who will return as the show's presenter, The Traitors is described by programme-makers as a nail-biting psychological reality competition where 22 strangers play the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust, in the hope of winning up to £120,000.
