The Celebrity Traitors UK renewed for season 2 at BBC One

A mere matter of days removed from the season 1 finale, the folks at BBC One have made one thing clear: They want more of The Celebrity Traitors UK. Ultimately, can you even blame them?

In a statement per The Hollywood Reporter, here is some of what Kalpna Patel-Knight, head of entertainment at the BBC, had to say: “Studio Lambert have done an outstanding job as The Celebrity Traitors has well and truly captivated the nation, becoming a bona fide highlight of the year bringing record numbers of people together to enjoy every twist and turn … 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.”

Now that we know there is going to be more of the spin-off, the struggle now becomes whether or not there is a way for the producers to replicate the greatness that we got during season 1. Think about what worked this year, with the cast being at the top of the list. They got a lot of legitimately famous people including Alan Carr, Nick Mohammed, Paloma Faith, Jonathan Ross, Stephen Fry, and Charlotte Church. Can you replicate that in some way? It is going to be hard.

In the end, though, we tend to think the success of the first season cements further that this is one of those shows where the format is as much the star as anything else. There is a really distinct reason why there are so many successful versions all over the world.
