Celebrity Traitors, series 2 cast revealed
The BBC revealed the Celebrity Traitors series 2 cast, naming James Acaster, Richard E. Grant, Michael Sheen, Maya Jama and Amol Rajan. Claudia Winkleman will return to host and filming is set at Ardross Castle, with the celebrity spinoff due to air later this year. The Traitors pits contestants in a castle-based elimination game where hidden "Traitors" remove rivals while "Faithfuls" vote to banish suspects for a cash prize. The high-profile mix of comedians, seasoned actors and broadcasters will shift alliance dynamics and make deception harder to read, raising the stakes for strategic play.
This is the most incredible lineup, I am preemptively losing my entire mind at whatever James fucking Acaster is going to do on this show www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertain...
Erin Biba15Oh my god he is going to be a little chaos demon I might actually watch this
Cheyenne13I'm losing my shit at the thought of Richard E. Grant and Michael Sheen strategizing together in any capacity.
rb8the combo of acaster and lycett!!
Sarah Gray6oh my god what a DREAM. all the Taskmaster alums! I have the hugest crush on James. I am so stoked about this lineup.
Top tier casting for The Celebrity Traitors. Just top tier. Well done everyone.
Friz Frizzle3I have a theory that the finale will be broadcast Christmas Day. It's a sure fire ratings hit and with the dire telly we had last year, maybe?
davidphw.bsky.social2I love Acaster, Ranganathan, Beckett and Lycett individually, but maybe that's at least one Avalon-adjacent male standup too many?
With the NBC version of TRAITORS likely airing this fall, Peacock would be dumb to not run THE CELEBRITY TRAITORS S2 day-and-date with the UK. People will be coming to Peacock next-day for NBC TRAITORS; double down on interest in the show. Ride the PR wave!
Joe Adalian9(Depending on when and how NBC schedules TRAITORS, and whether BBC keeps same Oct-Nov 2x weekly air pattern, the US might not overlap exactly with UK. But either way, the two can feed on each other. Waiting for all the eps to drop in UK and doing them as a binge just doesn't make sense to me.
(Still) An(gr)i Bundel2@lacymb.bsky.social would legit recap it if we could get it here day and date. I’m only a *little* sad Capaldi said no, but I’ve been in love with Richard E Grant since I I saw ‘Withnail & I” when I was like, 10.
