The Traitors returns tonight and, after days of speculation, fans will finally discover the identity of the Secret Traitor – but what time is it on?
With tensions already running high in the castle, viewers won’t want to miss a second of the next episode.
The latest series kicked off last week and wasted no time pulling viewers into the drama. Alliances have already formed, suspicions are flying and social media is awash with theories about who’s really pulling the strings.
This year also brought a major twist, with host Claudia Winkleman revealing the existence of a Secret Traitor – a hidden player with serious power over how the game unfolds.

Tonight, the Secret Traitor will finally be unmasked. But fans need to watch out, as the BBC has changed the schedule.
With just hours to go until the big reveal, here’s what time The Traitors is on tonight.
The Traitors: Who has been murdered and banished already?
The new series launched with a three-night run beginning on New Year’s Day (Thursday January 1, 2026). In episode one, 22 new contestants arrived at Ardross Castle, with many openly hoping to be chosen as Traitors.
Claudia ultimately selected four. Three were revealed – Rachel, Stephen and Hugo – while the fourth remains hidden as the Secret Traitor. Hugo has since been banished.
Although the named Traitors were told a Secret Traitor existed, they weren’t given any clues about his or her identity. The Secret Traitor, meanwhile, has known exactly who they are from day one.
So far, the game has already claimed several casualties:
Netty: Murdered in episode 2
Judy: Banished in episode 2
Ben: Murdered in episode 3
Hugo: Banished in episode 3
