Following the massive success of the inaugural Celebrity Traitors, the BBC has decided to bring back the show for another round of lies and high-society sabotage. The upcoming series promises an even more illustrious cast of icons, with Claudia Winkleman back at the helm. The fresh batch of TV veterans and fresh faces will navigate the psychological warfare that has made the series a global phenomenon. 

The BBC has just confirmed the star-studded lineup for Celebrity Traitors series 2, consisting of a total of twenty-one presenters, comedians, actors, and artists who will all attempt to be either the “Faithful” or the deceptive “Traitors.”

In the second season of the Celebrity Traitors, personalities including Richard E. Grant, Miranda Hart, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Joe Lycett will compete against one another. The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey, University Challenge host Amol Rajan, and comedian James Acaster are also among the other celebrities in the cast.

Here is the full lineup for the Celebrity Traitors series two as released by the BBC:

Amol Rajan – Journalist and Broadcaster

Bella Ramsey – Actor

James Acaster – Comedian and Podcaster

This interesting and diverse range of individuals and personalities will be welcomed by host Claudia Winkleman. As seen in the list, BAFTA and BRIT award winners, social media celebrities, and some of the most beloved actors, comedians, broadcasters, and others in the UK are all included for this ambitious series. These celebrities have to figure out who they can trust, who should be exiled, and who is covertly planning a betrayal.

The series has achieved much popularity with just the first series in 2025, but still, there are many who are not familiar with the format of the show.

As in the previous season, 21 celebrities will compete for the opportunity to earn up to $125,000–$130,000 USD for a charity of their choice at the notorious Scottish castle in the Highlands. The format is simple (much like The Traitors, which just released its fourth season): a group of famous participants is split into two groups: the "Traitors" and the "Faithful." The Faithful must identify the Traitors and vote them out, while the Traitors work surreptitiously to destroy the Faithful.

The Celebrity Traitors' first season debuted on BBC iPlayer and BBC One and became an overwhelming success with an average audience of 14.9 million during its run and a peak of 15.4 million for the finale. With such an A-List lineup set for the upcoming series, the potential for success has just broken the ceiling, and now the sky is the limit.
