BBC is casting for next series of The Traitors and wants Mancs who are ‘good at lying’ to apply

Feeling deceptive?

The BBC is currently casting for the next series of The Traitors, and is looking for some deceptive Mancs to take part.

The Traitors is pretty much a cultural phenomenon at this point, let’s be honest.

Producers describe it as a ‘game of trust and treachery’, and there’s always plenty of twists, turns, shocks, and surprises along the way – but do you reckon you’ve got what it takes to play? If so, the BBC is currently casting for the next series of the popular show, and is calling on people in Greater Manchester and across the UK to apply.

Applications are currently open to ‘fun, smart, and strategic players’ who are over 18 years of age and have the right to legally reside in the UK.

The first series of the smash-hit BBC reality competition show proved pretty popular when it premiered back in 2022, but the second series took things to a whole new level, and truly seemed to capture the attentions of the nation like no other – with millions of viewers tuning in to watch the three episodes each week.

Currently, you may be one of the millions watching The Celebrity Traitors, which airs each week on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

But in case you haven’t seen it, The Traitors is, put simply, a competition series that’s built on strategy, suspicion, and deception, where a team of players are tasked with competing in a series of missions – with the more missions they complete successfully, the bigger the prize pot gets.

However, hidden among the players are the ‘Traitors’, who meet in secret and decide who to eliminate from their fellow players known as the ‘Faithfuls’.

The aim for the ‘Traitors’ is to stay undetected until the end, while the aim for the ‘Faithfuls’ is to banish all of the Traitors before the game ends.

Up for it? You have until 31 May 2026 to get your applications in online here.
