The Traitors fans all have same plea to BBC after gripping end to series

The Traitors fans had one big plea on Thursday night, as the hit series came to an end during the gripping finale.

The BBC show follows 22 contestants as they head to a castle in the Scottish highlands to battle it out for up to £120,000, but all is not as it seems.

To get the cash prize, contestants needed to work out which members of the group were secretly working as Traitors.

After weeks of challenges, banishments and 'murders', it all came down to the final five contestants - two of which were Traitors.

It was up to the three remaining Faithfuls to work out how many Traitors were left, and who they were - otherwise if there were any left at the end of the game, they would get the prize money

Thursday night's finale saw carnage as Kieran was finally banished as a Traitor, but not before he dropped a major clue about Wilf.

Just as it looked like final Traitor Wilf might fool Faithfuls Hannah, Aaron and Meryl into ending the game, allowing him to win the money, there was a last twist.

As it came to deciding whether to end it there, Hannah and Aaron were swayed by Kieran's last words - and they ended up banishing Wilf, resulting in him being exposed as a Traitor.

But fans were not quite satisfied by the ending to the show, as they were not ready to let it go so soon.

Taking to Twitter before and after the finale, fans begged the BBC to stop everything and get series two on air as quickly as possible.

One viewer said: "What an episode. This show is amazing. Bring me season 2."

Another fan agreed: "The best thing the BBC could do after tomorrow’s final is announce that they’ve already filmed season 2 secretly and that it’ll start to air next week. Wishful thinking."

A third added: "Season 1 of #TheTraitors isn’t over yet, @BBCOne can you please start season 2 straight away. It’s sooooo good," as a fourth fan wrote: "I already want season 2!"

It comes as reports claimed TV presenter Claudia Winkleman will return for a second series of The Traitors, after the game show won over viewers.

The BBC is reported to have struck a deal with production company Studio Lambert to bring the game show back for another run next year after it's become a huge hit.

A show insider told The Daily Star said: “ The Traitors has become a big hit after just a few weeks. It was a no-brainer to commission another series.

"Everyone is hoping it will be even more popular by next year and become one of the biggest shows on TV."

They added: "Claudia absolutely loves the show and thinks it’s a brilliant format. It’s basically a done deal that she’ll be back."

The Traitors is available to watch now on BBC iPlayer.
