The Traitors is going to be a “different game” when the psychological reality TV show returns to the BBC, according to its production company following the huge success of its first run.
Series two has had more than 40,000 applications according to Studio Lambert, following the show proving a hit over the Christmas period last year when 22 strangers competed for a £100,000 prize at a castle in the Highlands.
The original format saw groups secretly divided for “the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust” where four players were made secret traitors and was tasked with “murdering” the other faithful contestants while the latter had to root out the traitors and “banish” them.
