Nasfim Haque, Head of Content for BBC Three said: “The Traitors is an addictively fiendish format and I am so pleased that viewers can get their summer fix of treachery and suspicion as we head Down Under for the Australian version of the show on BBC Three and iPlayer.”

Mike Cotton, who is the producer of The Traitors, previously told The Celeb Report how the second series would be different.
Speaking at the BAFTAs, 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 it’s head.”
He added: “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.”
