Series four of The Traitors will be airing soon on BBC One, while the broadcaster recently announced that The Celebrity Traitors series two will return later in 2026.

"In 2026 the doors of the castle will be opened again to welcome celebrity players to the game to see who can charm, who can scheme and ultimately who can survive in series two which promises to be just as unmissable as the first. Plus with Uncloaked returning and today’s news of the positive contribution The Traitors brand has made to Scotland’s economy, there is plenty to celebrate."
The decision to make another series was also welcomed by Hayley Valentine, the director of BBC Scotland.

This report highlights the many ways that Scotland is seeing a direct economic benefit from The Traitors filming here and, working together with our partners, we will use this success to promote sustainable growth within Scotland’s creative industry."
