THE TRAITORS UNCLOAKED RENEWED FOR SECOND SERIES ON BBC TWO

The Traitors: Uncloaked will return alongside the new series of The Traitors. It will be hosted again by comedian Ed Gamble, and this series will feature 12 episodes, instead of the previous 10, like-for-like with the main show’s episodes.

As a visualised podcast with an exclusive extended audio-only cut for BBC Sounds, The Traitors: Uncloaked was a brand-new take on a companion show. The Podcast launched in January this year and drew huge audiences.

Packed full of exclusives, the podcast paved the way for podcast commissions for TV. It aired on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer after the main show and averaged 1.8M across the series with the finale peaking at an impressive 4.3M, and with 3.1M watching on the night of the final.

Ed said: “I cannot wait to get back under my cloak to watch the next series of TV’s most deceitful format, then pour over every detail with the contestants, and equally mischievous guests, on Uncloaked. The Traitors is the game we all think we’d ace but would most likely be terrible at. I’ll try not to spend all of our airtime explaining how I would have played it better.”

The Traitors returns January 2025 on BBC One.
