The latest series of the popular show The Traitors is making a comeback on the BBC, promising to kick-start everyone’s new year. However, fans will need to note down several dates and varying start times to ensure they don’t miss any of the thrilling twists and turns.
A fresh batch of Faithfuls and Traitors will be scheming to win a substantial cash prize when the first episode airs on January 1, on BBC1. For those who lose track of dates during the festive season, that’s a Wednesday, and the show starts at 8pm.
However, many of the subsequent episodes will begin at a different time, although viewers can still catch up on iPlayer shortly after each episode ends. While the first two episodes start at 8pm, all following episodes will commence from 9pm.
As with the previous series, episodes will air on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for roughly four weeks across the 12-episode run. Viewers are advised to wait up to 15 minutes for episodes to appear on iPlayer once they have finished airing on television.
Claudia Winkleman isn’t the only familiar face returning to host the main show, as comedian Ed Gamble is also set to return to present the companion podcast. The Traitors: Uncloaked will be available after each episode of the main show on BBC2 and iPlayer, reports the Mirror.
An extended version featuring additional guests, theories and analysis will also be accessible on BBC Sounds.
If you’re eager for the new series to start, you can catch up on the previous two on iPlayer. The Australia and US versions of the show are also available for free streaming.
