It didn't take the BBC long to commission a further two series of the popular show, and the British public are set to be glued to their TVs once again with 12 fresh episodes this January.
The reality series mines the deepest seams of the human condition, with a scenario that rewards scheming and treachery. A select few contestants are attributed the title of 'Traitor' and team together to one-by-one eliminate the other players — the so-called 'Faithfuls' — from the game. Regardless of the side they're on, there's just one aim: taking home a share of that £120,000 maximum jackpot.
Set in the surrounds of Ardross Castle in the majestic Scottish Highlands, testing cerebral and physical challenges help the participants to build up the ultimate prize fund. After which there are daily 'murders' where players are booted from the castle, narrowing down the pool of potential winners. Expect alliances to be forged; conclusions jumped to and confidences betrayed.
Ready to be addicted to Claudia's dastardly game once more? Here's everything you need to watch The Traitors U.K. season 2 online — and stream it all no matter where in the world you are.

How to watch The Traitors U.K. from anywhere in the world
What if you're usually based in the U.K. but are overseas right now? Perhaps, you're on holiday and don't want to spend money on a paid streaming service in a foreign country when you'd usually be able to watch for free at home.
Don't worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below. Our favorite VPN service right now is ExpressVPN, but you'll find others in our best VPN services list.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view BBC iPlayer, you'd select U.K. from the list.

The Traitors U.K. streams by country
Can I watch The Traitors U.K. season 2 online in the U.S.?
Streaming service Peacock is the home of all things The Traitors in the U.S., with the second season of the country's own version coming in mid-January.
For that reason, perhaps, it isn't streaming the second run of the U.K. iteration quite yet. We'd imagine that it will follow the climax of The Traitors U.S. season 2. So maybe February.
Until then, if you're a Brit in the U.S., you can watch The Traitors U.K. season 2 online on the BBC iPlayer by using a VPN such as ExpressVPN.
How to watch The Traitors U.K. season 2 in Canada
