Quand est The Traitors ?

The fifth series of BBC One's hit reality competition returns in January 2027, with Claudia Winkleman back at Ardross Castle. The Traitors pits 22 strangers — all civilians, not celebrities — against each other in a deadly game of deception, where chosen Traitors must murder the unsuspecting Faithful each night while remaining undetected. Series 4 became BBC's biggest reality launch of 2026 — Series 5 follows up after the autumn 2026 Celebrity edition. Count down the days until The Traitors Series 5 with our live countdown timer.
