The Traitors UK season 2 preview
It was an instant sensation when it debuted in the UK a year ago, setting social media abuzz with wild theories and spawning a multitude of international versions, and The Traitors UK is back with a new group of 22 contestants who will go to any lengths to get their hands on a share – or the entirety – of the £120,000 prize.
Claudia Winkleman resumes hosting duties at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands, a fitting location for a show built on a premise of cloak-and-dagger treachery.
It took six episodes, four murders and a further four wrongful banishments for the faithful to correctly identify the first of four traitors in the first season of the show, thanks to a perfect storm of credible liars and comically misinformed big personalities set against a humming backdrop of genuinely mind-frazzling tension.
Not to be confused with the Alan Cumming-fronted US version of the show, which is set in the same location and runs at the same time, read on as we explain how to watch The Traitors UK season 2 from anywhere in the world.
