The BBC has struck a new three-year deal for The Traitors and Celebrity Traitors. The pact will keep the hit show on the BBC until at least 2030.
The BBC said it “secured the future of the smash hit multi-award-winning psychological series The Traitors,” saying: “The renewed commitment reflects the BBC’s ongoing investment in original, high‑impact entertainment that captivates and brings together audiences across the U.K. by connecting everyone to unmissable content.”
Made by Studio Lambert Scotland, The Traitors and The Celebrity Traitors will continue to bring audiences twists, turns, secrets, epic missions, deception, banishments and, of course, murders aplenty from the now iconic Ardross Castle.
“The landmark deal cements iPlayer’s position as the U.K. home of the Traitors franchise, with not only the BBC versions available but also international variations too, including gripping series from the US, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand,” the BBC said. “The Celebrity Traitors debuted on BBC One and iPlayer in October 2025 and has been a runaway success with an average audience of 14.9 million across the run with a peak of 15.4 million for the finale. The series has seen unprecedented growth, making it the top entertainment episode across the whole market since 2016 and the number one series across all genres and platforms in 2025.”
Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment Commissioning at the BBC, said: “We are proud to remain faithful to The Traitors and The Celebrity Traitors until 2030 and wanted to say a big thank you to the outstanding team at Studio Lambert Scotland for bringing it to screen. We can’t wait to share many more twists and turns with viewers all across the UK in the coming years.”
Stephen Lambert, CEO of Studio Lambert, said: “The Traitors has become a genuine television phenomenon across the world, but especially in the UK, and we’re thrilled to continue the journey with the BBC. It’s hugely exciting that audiences will have many more years of strategy, suspense and shocking twists still to come.”
