The U.K. edition of "Celebrity Traitors" has achieved a record-breaking start with its second season. Thursday night's premiere attracted over 8.8 million viewers, with the audience peaking at 9 million, making it the most-watched program. This viewership figure represents more than half of the television audience at that time.
The show's premiere viewership significantly surpassed previous seasons, drawing approximately 3 million more viewers than the launches of last year's celebrity debut and the most recent civilian season. This figure is expected to rise as viewers catch up on demand.
Esteemed personalities such as Richard E. Grant, Bella Ramsey, and Maya Jama are among the cast members joining host Claudia Winkleman. The season airs weekly on BBC One and iPlayer, with additional episodes scheduled for the coming month. Season 5 of the civilian version is slated for early next year, while the franchise also enjoys U.S. success with its own celebrity and civilian iterations.
