British actors Richard E. Grant and Hugh Bonneville are reportedly being considered by BBC producers for the upcoming series of 'The Celebrity Traitors'. The murder-mystery game show is slated to commence filming in May.
Both actors, celebrated for their roles in stately homes, would be well-suited to the show's setting at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands. Producers see Grant and Bonneville as national treasures who would bring wit, charm, and entertainment to the competition.
The first season of 'The Celebrity Traitors', hosted by Claudia Winkleman, concluded last year with comedian Alan Carr emerging as the winner. The final episode achieved significant viewership, becoming the most-watched show in 2025 with 15 million viewers tuning in.
Carr recently shared an anecdote about accidentally revealing his win to a cameraman within 12 hours of filming the grand finale, highlighting the show's secrecy protocols.
