Prepare for more betrayal, deception, unbelieved truths and convincing lies because the second season of the British version of the The Traitors is available to binge in full right now.
You can watch The Traitors season 2 for FREE in the UK on the BBC iPlayer streaming service. But don't worry if you're on holiday while it's on — because you can watch The Traitors season 2 on BBC iPlayer from anywhere with a VPN.
Once again hosted by Claudia Winkleman, season 2 of The Traitors invited 22 contestants to Ardross Castle with the game unfolding over twelve episodes. Some contestants were designated Traitors, and had to hide their true selves among the Faithful, whose job it was to weed them out. Each day, after some epic challenges, the group were given a chance to vote off a Traitor. Getting it wrong led to a Faithful being sent home. If any Traitors remained at the end of the game, they won the prize pot but success for the Faithful would see them take home the money. We won't spoil which camp was victorious, but the endgame was epic.
Season 2 of the show saw plenty of twists and turns but you'll have to tune in to discover exactly what went down in this explosive installment. It may have aired in January, it's already safe to say the show is a TV highlight of 2024, delivering a host of iconic TV moments.

Who won season 1 of The Traitors?
At the end of a nail biting finale, Hannah, Aaron and Meryl split the prize pot after weeding out the final traitors, Wilfred and Kieran.
What can we expect from this year's contestants?
Claudia Winkleman (Presenter): "They are all excellent. They come having seen the first series so are more quick to suspect but they all play a brilliant game. I wish I could say more but I’ll be fired. You can see some arrive and play the game immediately. But the game itself is so strong that however prepared you think you are, you’re not"
Where was The Traitors season 2 filmed?
As with season 1 (and the US version of the show), The Traitors season 2 was filmed at Ardross Castle in Scotland, 25 miles north of Inverness.
Claudia Winkleman says of the location: "Where we film might just be the most beautiful place on earth, the landscape is breath-taking. But also the people you meet are so welcoming and kind and hopefully happy we’re back. I got off the train and the lovely man who worked at the station just casually said to me “I hope you’ve got your cloak”."
What can we expect from the challenges in The Traitors season 2?
Claudia Winkleman (Presenter): "The missions this year are epic. The producers are so clever as the missions are incredibly important as it is a chance for the contestants to switch off from strategising and plotting. They get fresh air, they run around, they work as a team. The scale this year is beyond."
Are there other versions of The Traitors?
There are a number of international versions of the show, including the Dutch original. But of note are the other English language versions from the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The US version, presented by Alan Cumming, features reality TV stars and is about to air its second season, while the Australian version, also with two seasons under its belt, has sadly been axed. Both the Canadian and New Zealand versions dropped the first series' in 2023. In the UK, the British, American and Australian versions can be watched on BBC iPlayer.
