BBC announces celebrity edition of The Traitors UK
Trending
On August 22, 2024, at the Edinburgh TV Festival, the BBC announced that The Traitors UK would have a celebrity edition. It will be nine episodes of this special version of the show, in which a group of celebrities will play either traitors or faithfuls.
Adding a celebrity edition is a big change for the UK show because the American version of The Traitors has had celebrities in it since the beginning. However, the UK version had only ever shown civilian contestants before this new development, which makes this a change to the show.
Fans speculated about Ricky Gervais being a part of the show but he confirmed on August 26 on X. Replying to a Deadline post, Gervais posted,
"I love the show and I’m very flattered, but it won’t happen. I’m too busy and there’s no way they could afford me."
Fans are excited about the celebrity edition, but the BBC is yet to announce who will be on the show or when it will air. Viewers want to see how their favourite stars do and see if they can beat their opponents and win.
The future of The Traitors UK: More seasons and exciting developments
Fans of the show have even more good news while they wait for The Traitors UK to be based on celebrities. The BBC has already begun filming the third season of the show, and a fourth season will follow. This choice shows how popular the show is becoming and how well its mix of strategies, deceptions, and high drama can keep people watching.
The BBC's head of entertainment, Kalpna Patel-Knight, said that The Traitors was an "unmissable highlight of the year" because of how well it did and how bright its future looks. She said that the next seasons, including the celebrity edition, would take the show to a whole new level, with even more mind games, alliances, and shocking betrayals.
Based on what Patel-Knight said, it sounds like the BBC is fully committed to growing the Traitors brand and may look into new formats and variations in the future.
Fans can watch The Traitors UK on Peacock. The platform currently has 2 seasons of The Traitors UK available for streaming.
