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.

While the first series of the smash-hit BBC reality competition show proved pretty popular when it premiered back in 2022, the second series which aired at the start of this year 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.

In case you haven’t seen it, put simply, The Traitors a competition series that’s built on strategy, suspicion, and deception.

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.

Throughout the series, there will be twists, turns, rigorous challenges, shocks and surprises for the players.
