THE TRAITORS continues to deliver an intense blend of backstabbing, drama, and murder as we near the end of the hit BBC reality show.
If you’re a Faithful fan and you’re heading outside the UK soon, don’t worry: here’s how to watch The Traitors abroad.
Cult-show-in-the-making The Traitors first hit TV screens back in November 2022, for a debut series that quickly snowballed in popularity.
Now nearing the end of its second season, host Claudia Winkleman continues to bring some much-needed intrigue and drama into the January gloom.
Last week saw supervillain Paul reveal the huge mistake that led to his shock banishment from the castle in the Scottish Highlands after his fellow Traitor turned against him.
The Faithful contestants have set two Traitors packing, but with Ross recruited to the dark side, the Faithfuls have their work cut out to eliminate them to get their hands on the £120,000 prize pot.
At the end of most episodes, players gather in a Round Table, cast secrets vote – and one unlucky contestant is banished from the castle.
It all comes as fans were left raging and begging show stars to listen to key player Jaz, as he unlocks a huge theory.
If you’ve not been watching Season 2 and you need to catch up on the action, you can watch every episode aired so far on BBC iPlayer
