Produced by Studio Lambert Scotland for BBC One and BBC iPlayer, The Celebrity Traitors UK continues the momentum of The Traitors franchise, which has become a global reality juggernaut since debuting in the Netherlands. Created by IDTV with RTL Creative Unit, the format has expanded rapidly: over 50 territories have aired the series via tape sales, while more than 30 regions across six continents have commissioned local versions.
The franchise has earned major acclaim in the U.S. as well, with the American adaptation taking home five Emmy® Awards—including Outstanding Reality Competition Program and Outstanding Host for Alan Cumming.
In this celebrity edition, Claudia Winkleman unleashes an all-star cast into the castle for the ultimate game of psychological warfare. Contestants must navigate a world built on secrets, strategy, trust, and betrayal as they attempt to uncover the hidden Traitors among them. Their goal: outwit, outmaneuver, and ultimately secure up to £100,000 for the charity of their choice.
With its high-stakes tension, charismatic host, and stacked celebrity lineup, The Celebrity Traitors UK is set to captivate Peacock audiences just as it did across the pond.
