The Celebrity Traitors will return for a second series in 2026, the BBC has announced.
Kalpna Patel-Knight, head of entertainment at the BBC, said: "Studio Lambert have done an outstanding job as The Celebrity Traitors has well and truly captivated the nation, becoming a bona fide highlight of the year bringing record numbers of people together to enjoy every twist and turn.
"In 2026 the doors of the castle will be opened again to welcome celebrity players to the game to see who can charm, who can scheme and ultimately who can survive in series two, which promises to be just as unmissable as the first."
Last week, comedian Alan Carr was crowned the winner of Celebrity Traitors.
The presenter, 49, burst into tears after he revealed to the remaining faithfuls, comedian Nick Mohammed and historian David Olusoga, that he was a traitor.
Carr also declared that the prize money, which amounted to £87,500, (€98,682.50) will go to a children's cancer charity for neuroblastoma.
The comedian was overcome with emotion after he declared: "I am and have always been a traitor."
He added: "I'm so sorry, it’s been tearing me apart."
He was comforted by Olusoga and Mohammed, who said: "You did brilliantly."
The programme's first series saw a number of twists and turns, with Mohammed banishing former England rugby player Joe Marler, who he had built up a pact with, after becoming wrongly suspicious that he was a traitor.
Other popular moments saw actress Celia Imrie audibly pass wind during one of the show’s missions, and Carr murder his friend, singer Paloma Faith, at the first opportunity.
The show, which began with 19 celebrities, sees contestants try to detect the traitors in the group while completing a series of challenges to win funds to contribute towards the prize pot.
If at the end of the series a traitor is left among the finalists, the faithfuls, those who are not traitors, lose out on the money and the traitor wins the full prize.
