Celebrity Traitors returns for a second season with a stacked cast that includes queer favorites The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey, Heartstopper actor Sebastian Croft, and Bodies Bodies Bodies actor Myha’la.
They appear in the newly released trailer, which offers a first look at the lies, accusations, and absolute chaos waiting inside the Scottish castle.
Michael Sheen Is Ready for Chaos
Claudia Winkleman returns to oversee the game, warning the celebrities that “fame won’t save them” once the competition begins.
The trailer may be brief, but Michael Sheen already looks like he is going to be a standout. The Good Omens star throws himself into the experience with dramatic declarations, intense reactions and exactly the kind of energy we want from a celebrity entering the castle.
“Now it’s my turn.”
Viewers are already flooding the trailer’s comments with praise for the lineup, and it is easy to understand why. The group brings together actors, comedians, musicians and television personalities who all seem ready to deceive one another for charity.
Ramsey has survived post-apocalyptic monsters in The Last of Us, while Myha’la has mastered the ruthless world of finance in Industry. Lycett has built an entire career around mischief and elaborate tricks, and Croft is making his reality television debut after roles in Heartstopper and How to Date Billy Walsh. In other words, the Traitors may have some serious competition.
Meet the Full Cast
The complete lineup includes Amol Rajan, Bella Ramsey, James Acaster, James Blunt, Jerry Hall, Joanne McNally, Joe Lycett, Julie Hesmondhalgh, King Kenny, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Maya Jama, Michael Sheen, Miranda Hart, Myha’la, Professor Hannah Fry, Richard E. Grant, Rob Beckett, Romesh Ranganathan, Ross Kemp, Sebastian Croft and Sharon Rooney.
The Celebrity Traitors premieres Oct. 1 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, correcting earlier speculation that the season would begin Sept. 23.
U.S. viewers can currently watch the first season, featuring Olympic diver Tom Daley, on Peacock. A U.S. streaming date for Season 2 has not yet been announced, but with a cast this good, it is already on our watch list.
