Fans of The Traitors can rejoice, as an all-new series has been made available for streaming by the BBC.

The twisty high-stakes game of deceit has captivated audiences across the globe over the past few years, with several different versions being created to ensure that fans are kept entertained all-year round.

The latest release sees The Traitors NZ the New Zealand version of the series – return with its second season, with all 12 episodes now available to stream after being added to BBC iPlayer.

Airing in its native country last year, the second season of The Traitors NZ sees Paul Henry return to hosting duties for a "murder mystery to die for", with a new cast of Kiwis descending on an "isolated lodge" for the "ultimate game of trust and treachery".

Fans of the series reacted in kind to the news, with one writing on X: "I’ve succumbed – nothing else on TV to watch so I gave in to the Traitors NZ. It was the first episode and now I’m hooked. It’s not the same without [UK host] Claudia [Winkleman] though."

Boasting a stacked cast including Alan Carr and Stephen Fry, the action will once again be presided over by host Claudia Winkleman, with the series given a tentative release window of the autumn.

"We’re incredibly lucky these brilliant people have said yes," said Winkleman in a statement. "I'd love to say we'll take it easy on them and they'll just wander round the castle and eat toast for a couple of weeks but that would be a lie."
