The Traitors fans have been given their first glimpse of the upcoming second season in a new teaser clip.
The BBC show, hosted by Claudia Winkleman and filmed in the Scottish Highlands, proved a hit when season 1 aired in 2022, concluding in December.
The Traitors shocked the nation with its dramatic twists and tense discussions, with viewers describing it as one of the best pieces of British television in a long time.
The show is based on the Dutch show De Verraders which began in 2021 and has since been adapted into a UK, Australian and USA versions.

The clip shows Winkleman and two other people in the background in the famous dark green cloaks with their heads down.
At the very end of the clip, the host lifts her head up, puts her finger to her mouth and whispers: "Shhhhhh".
A message was then displayed that said: "The Traitors. Coming soon."
The teaser clip, along with a sneaky hidden cameo on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing had fans losing their minds.
A cloaked person (associated with The Traitors) was spotted among the celebrities when Winkleman, who is also the host of Strictly along with Tess Daly, was talking to Angela Scanlon and professional dancing partner Carlos Gu following their Paso Doble to Swan Lake on Halloween week.

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!
