Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, said: “The massive unscripted hit The Traitors will be back for a third series. Expect to see more psychological gameplay, exciting challenges and of course Claudia at the helm. It will be a thrilling ride for both avid fans and newcomers to the series for sure. The BBC will always remain faithful to The Traitors.”

The Traitors sees contestants move into a castle in the Scottish Highlands and work as a team to complete a series of dramatic and challenging missions to earn money for the prize pot.
