The Traitors has begun filming for the second series after their hugely successful first season.
Contestants for the BBC's hit competition show have started to arrive at their new home - Ardross Castle in the Scottish highlands - for the next few weeks.
A total of 22 competitors are set to battle it out for a £100,000 prize reports the Mirror. Last year, the murder mystery series aired over Christmas, with this year's instalment expected to start around the end of November.
And despite the premise of the show lacking festive spirit, it bagged itself the BBC's biggest new series for young audiences in 2022.

Guy Lodge Film Critic It’s a failing of our society that we’ve allowed “interesting” to become a euphemism, a blandly veiled insult, something to say when no other praise comes to mind. Little in life is more important than interest: having it, attracting it, identifying it in any crevice of the everyday, making it strange and fresh in the process.
Back in 2009, Yorgos Lanthimos led the so-called Greek Weird Wave with the Oscar-nominated Dogtooth, an unsettling exploration of a family of teenagers kept from the world by their father in a gated estate that they could never leave. The family is rich, so they can have anything they want except the wide world and their freedom; even sex can be bought in.
