Where to watch the Celebrity Traitors: Free live streams, cast, trailer

The global television phenomenon that is The Traitors is getting the UK celebrity treatment again, as 21 famous names from television, film, music, and comedy come together in a stunning Scottish castle with murder on their minds. It's all that anybody in the British Isles will be talking about at their water coolers this October, so be sure to follow our guide below on where to watch the Celebrity Traitors — with free and international streaming options explained.

The free-to-air BBC is the home of all things Traitors in the UK, including Celebrity Traitors Season 2 — that means you'll be able to stream episodes live and on demand through the BBC iPlayer. In the US, Peacock is the streaming service you'll need, but you'll have to wait to watch. You can access your streaming options from anywhere with a VPN. See below for further details.

After TV funnyman Alan Carr successfully avoided murder and banishment to win the first iteration of this show last year, it was inevitable that Claudia Winkleman would soon welcome another throng of familiar faces to Ardross Castle for a second run. Some are well known enough that you know they're simply there for a good time and another anecdote to tell on chat shows; see actors Michael Sheen and Richard E. Grant, Love Island host Maya Jama, and modeling legend Jerry Hall. While others — the likes of YouTuber King Kenny, emerging actors Myha'la and Sebastian Croft, and comic Joanne McNally — will be hoping for the Joe Marler-effect, making them beloved household names overnight.

James Acaster, Joe Lycett, Rob Beckett, and Romesh Ranganathan will be sure to bring some levity to proceedings, while broadcasters Amol Rajan and Hannah Fry provide the gravitas. You can see the full cast list toward the bottom of the article, or if the only thing you need to know is which streaming service you'll need to sign into to watch, you can find all the information required to watch Celebrity Traitors UK Season 2.

Where to watch the Celebrity Traitors for free in the UK

One of the UK's most popular shows in 2025, the much-anticipated second season of Celebrity Traitors will go out again on the flagship BBC One channel on TV. That means every episode will also be available to stream for free live and on demand via the BBC iPlayer streaming service for anybody with a valid TV license. Its app is available on pretty much every streaming device you can think of. Episodes go out every Thursday and Friday evening for five weeks, meaning the finale will be shown on Friday, October 30.

How to watch the Celebrity Traitors from anywhere

The streaming service works when accessed within the UK, but try using the service on your laptop, smartphone, or tablet when outside the country on holiday or business, and you'll soon discover that it doesn't work due to geographical restrictions. Thankfully, there's a simple way to get around this geo-blocking — use a VPN (Virtual Private Network), and you can make your streaming device think it's back in the UK, thus allowing the iPlayer to work as normal to stream Celebrity Traitors.

NordVPN is one of the very best providers out there. As you can read in more depth in our NordVPN review, it combines rapid server speeds with coverage in hundreds of locations around the world and a user interface that is remarkably easy to learn and use. If you want to give NordVPN a try, you can do so in the knowledge that, if you're not 100% happy, you can cancel within 30 days and get all of your money back.

Where to watch the Celebrity Traitors in the US

Like last year for Season 1, it's looking like the whole of the UK's Celebrity Traitors Season 2 will land on the Peacock streaming service in the US once the show has come to an end across the pond. At the time of writing, no streaming date has been confirmed for the US, but as a rough guide, it was two weeks after the UK finale last time. If it were to follow suit for Season 2, that would make it around November 13. Peacock Premium pricing starts at $13 a month, or get 12 months for the price of 10 if you sign up for the $130 annual plan.

The Celebrity Traitors trailer

Michael Sheen. Maya Jama. Romesh Ranganathan. Bella Ramsey. The official trailer for the second season of the UK's Celebrity Traitors starts off showing a rather nervous parade of familiar faces entering a church and taking a pew. Once gathered, they're whisked off to the suitably gothic Ardross Castle, where host Claudia Winkleman declares that she's chosen her Traitors and that "the game is on — there are now killers among you". A rather macabre shot shows a POV looking up from inside a grave. It really is goosebumps stuff.
