Everyone has been hooked by the BBC show The Traitors – and with a fifth series announced. BBC The Traitors application is open, and you can apply to be a contestant on the popular series hosted by legend Claudia Winkleman.
It hit our screens during the BBC World Cup coverage back in 2022 and quickly gained an avid fanbase, which isn’t surprising as we were hooked from start to finish. The Celebrity Traitors is currently entertaining the masses each week on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The fifth series of The Traitors is to be just as, if not more, intense than the rest, with traitors and faithfuls battling it out to win the prize money.

But, do you think you have the cunning to outsmart the faithful as a traitor – or can you sniff out a rat amongst the pigeons? Either way, get applying for the third series, which will film this summer.
The Traitors‘ applications for the fourth series are being taken, and you can apply to be on the popular BBC show and be in for a chance to be one of the 22 strangers playing the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust, in the hope of winning up to £120,000.
The premise of the show, for those who have been hiding under a rock, is that there are some Faithfuls and three Traitors chosen by Claudia on the first day of filming.
The Traitors meet every night to discuss their next ‘murder’. It is the job of the Faithfuls to find out who the Traitors are and vote them off the show in a bid to win the prize money.
How to apply for The Traitors series three
Produced by the studio behind Gogglebox and Naked Attraction, Studio Lambert is looking for new contestants for next year. To apply, you need to be over 18 and able to commit to six weeks of filming in the summer of 2026.
You’ll be asked in the application whether you’d like to be a Traitor or a Faithful.
The Traitors casting call reads: “Throughout the season, there will be twists, turns and surprises for the players. A game of trust and treachery…do you have what it takes to play?”
