Season 2 of The Traitors is set to be released on Wednesday, January 2nd 2024. Here's how to watch The Traitors UK from anywhere...

The second season of The Traitors is set to be released tomorrow and we can't wait for this epic new season that's expected to delight viewers. Claudia Winkleman told the BBC in a press release, "The missions this year are epic. The producers are so clever as the missions are incredibly important as it is a chance for the contestants to switch off from strategising and plotting. They get fresh air, they run around, they work as a team. The scale this year is beyond." She then added, "It definitely gets extremely tense, it did in the first series too but there’s one round table in this episode when I came out shaking." How exciting!

But how can we watch this exciting second season, and catch up on the first season if we need to? Here's how to watch The Traitors UK from anywhere in the world...
