‘The Traitors’ U.K. Sets Celebrity Edition as BBC Confirms Season 4 of Hit Reality Series

As a connoisseur of captivating television and an ardent admirer of the artistry that goes into creating engaging content, I am absolutely thrilled by the news of a fourth season and a celebrity edition of “The Traitors” on BBC! The mind games, the intrigue, and the unpredictable twists and turns – it’s a psychological rollercoaster that I simply can’t get enough of.


Fans of “The Traitors” in the U.K. have something exciting to look forward to! The BBC has officially announced that there will be a fourth season of this popular series, along with a special version featuring famous faces.

Today’s announcement about the news was made at the Edinburgh TV Festival, and it precedes the upcoming third season of the show, which has already been filmed in the Scottish Highlands.

As of now, neither the celebrities nor the airdate have been finalized for the upcoming four-season’s nine-episode celebrity edition. This season promises to include a total of twelve exciting episodes.

In this version, the British adaptation of the psychological game show is overseen by Claudia Winkleman and is manufactured by Studio Lambert, which falls under the All3Media umbrella.

“Kalpna Patel-Knight, head of entertainment at the BBC, stated that ‘The Traitors’ has become a must-watch event this year. The announcement of a fourth season, along with a celebrity edition on the BBC, promises to elevate the series even further. Viewers will eagerly anticipate who will prove cunning, strategic, and enduring. The mental battles are about to commence!”

Mike Cotton, creative director for unscripted at Studio Lambert and executive producer on “The Traitors,” expressed: “We’re excited to welcome some celebrities into our castle to enjoy the game. Watching well-known personalities maneuver around the round table or put on the iconic green cloaks will make for compelling television, and it’s an additional bonus that Season 4 is confirmed as well. There’s a lot more intrigue and deceit to look forward to from the Highlands… Claudia might need to pack some extra sweaters.”

A sidekick podcast titled “The Traitors: Exposed” will debut 12 fresh episodes, produced by the podcast company Listen, and will be led by comedian Ed Gamble as its host.

As a devoted cinephile, I’d like to share an exciting piece of news about the series “The Traitors,” which was ingeniously conceived in the heart of the Netherlands by IDTV. On a global scale, All3Media now holds the rights for the format and tape sales, making it accessible to a wider audience worldwide.

At their talk in Edinburgh, the BBC unveiled a fresh sitcom starring Dawn French, called “Can You Keep a Secret?”, and a two-part documentary from Rogan Productions titled “Signs for Living,” featuring Rose Ayling-Ellis. In this documentary, Ayling-Ellis instructs a group of elderly individuals on the art of British Sign Language.

“Can You Keep a Secret” presents a tale about a feisty French grandmother, who gets involved in an intricate insurance scam. The show is the brainchild of Simon Mayhew-Archer (“This Country”), and also features Mark Heap from “Friday Night Dinner.”

For the first time ever in its 20-year run, “Strictly Come Dancing,” the BBC’s popular dance series, will be broadcast with live British Sign Language (BSL). In addition to audio description and subtitling, this new feature aims to make the show more accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers.

Next year, BBC’s British Sign Language season will feature both Ayling-Ellis’s documentary and the use of sign language in “Strictly”. This is all part of an effort to honor and highlight the art of signing.
