Celebrity Traitors season 2 FAQ
When is the Celebrity Traitors season 2 start date?
Season 2 of "Celebrity Traitors" remains 'cloaked' in mystery; 23 September 2026 is the strongly reported date, but is still unconfirmed.
The September date was revealed when podcast host Richard Osman let slip that "The Celebrity Traitors" season 2 starts on Wednesday, 23 September 2026.
Osman suggested the date during a live recording of "The Rest Is Entertainment" podcast (per The Guardian and Manchester Evening News).
However, the BBC has not officially confirmed the date for "Celeb Traitors" 2, and Osman subsequently said on Instagram that they “didn’t ACTUALLY reveal the launch date” and that they don’t know it.
If the BBC is planning to launch Celebrity Traitors on September 23, it's leaving the official announcement awfully late. And if Sept. 23 is the correct launch date, you may wish to consider the possibility that the 'leak' was actually a rather effective PR stunt.
How many episodes of Celebrity Traitors season 2 are there?
Season 2 of the U.K. "The Celebrity Traitors" will have 10 episodes in total (2 episodes per week over 5 weeks). The runtime of each episode is approximately 1 hour.
Episodes will likely air Wednesday and Thursday nights on BBC One, with episodes also on BBC iPlayer.
When is the Celebrity Traitors season 2 final?
If the reported September 23, 2026 start date turns out to be correct, the finale would be around October 22, 2026.
