Celebrity Traitors Season 2 Will Have An Extra Episode, BBC Confirms

And on Monday, the BBC announced one major tweak to the format that fans are going to really love.

While The Celebrity Traitors was near-unanimously praised upon its debut in October, one aspect that viewers were unhappy with was the fact it ran for just nine episodes, compared to the usual 12 for the regular run.

Fortunately, this has now been upped for The Celebrity Traitors’ next outing, which a BBC press release revealed will consist of 10 episodes in total, two clocking in at 70 minutes (which we assume will be the season opener and the finale) and the others at one hour.

Admittedly it’s not 12 episodes… but hey, we’ll take it.

Before all of that, though, there’s the regular season of The Traitors UK, with Claudia Winkleman returning in all her tartan and turtle-necked glory for series four next month as a host of new contestants battle it out to try and scoop a prize pot of up to £120,000.

Meanwhile, BBC iPlayer is also home to several international versions of The Traitors, most notably the American series, which is fronted by Alan Cumming and features an all-celebrity cast.
