BOSSES of BBC’s The Traitors have shared details of the highly anticipated second series of the smash-hit reality show.
Mike Cotton, producer of The Traitors, was speaking at the BAFTAs on Sunday night as the show, presented by Claudia Winkleman, picked up the award for Best Reality Show.
Following the event, he told audiences what they have to look forward to from the upcoming second series.
Speaking to The Sun, Mike said: “It's going to be totally different for series two, like all good murder mysteries.
"Everybody knows how to play the game now. We'll have to turn it on its head.
"There are always twists and turns of the game. There will be new twists and turns, there is so much more we can do with it."
Claudia Winkleman will return as the show’s host, despite initially advising producers not to make another series.
She said: “We were incredibly lucky, we had an incredible cast.
"I suggested to the producers to leave it there - it's quite nice to walk away and be done, to which they replied, 'Are you ill?'"
However, following the announcement of the second series in February, she said she couldn’t wait to return to The Traitors.
Winkleman added: “I can’t wait to go back to the castle to watch people play the greatest game on television. I’m knitting a high funnel sweater immediately."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
