multi-year deals that will keep both series on air for several
more seasons, extending their run well into the next decade.

BBC renewed The Traitors and The Celebrity Traitors for more
seasons
The BBC has renewed The Traitors and The Celebrity Traitors
with a new three-year deal that will keep both shows on BBC One
and BBC iPlayer until at least 2030.

Outgoing BBC director-general Tim Davie announced the agreement
during a speech to the Royal Television Society. The deal
begins with The Traitors Season 5 and plans additional seasons
through 2030.

The renewal ensures the main series will reach at least
Season 8. The BBC has scheduled Seasons 5, 6, 7, and 8 for 2027,
2028, 2029, and 2030, respectively. The BBC will also continue
The Celebrity Traitors with Season 2 arriving later in 2026 and
additional seasons planned through 2029.

The Celebrity Traitors debuted on BBC One and iPlayer in October
2025, averaging 14.9 million viewers. Its finale reached
15.4 million viewers, making it the best-performing
entertainment episode in Britain in nearly a decade, according
to the BBC. The fourth season of The Traitors recorded a
12.5 million 28-day average audience.

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."

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."

IDTV, an All3Media company in the Netherlands, created the
format and developed it with the RTL Creative Unit. Studio
Lambert produces the UK versions, and All3Media International
manages global format and tape sales worldwide. The production
films the franchise at the Ardross Castle estate.
