Attention all Traitors fans! Get ready to celebrate because not only does the third series kick off tonight, but the BBC has also made a bold move that shows their commitment to the show's future. We're talking about none other than the iconic Ardross Castle in Alness, north of Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. Viewers have become familiar with this stunning location and it looks like we'll be seeing more of it for the next six years thanks to the show's soaring popularity.
According to sources, the production team wants to ensure that the castle remains a part of the show and have already booked it for the next six years. And can you blame them? This picturesque building and its surrounding land are the perfect backdrop for the intense and dramatic gameshow, hosted by the one and only Claudia Winkleman. Plus, with the castle being in high demand for weddings, it's no wonder the team had to secure it for future series.
Speaking of which, did you know that the show's producers are very particular about when they film? It's all about setting the right mood and atmosphere, which is why they avoid shooting during long summer days and instead prefer late spring and early autumn. And if you're looking to join in on all the behind-the-scenes action and gossip, make sure to join our The Traitors community on WhatsApp for live episode coverage and more!
But back to the castle, which has become synonymous with the UK version of the show. Its regal decor fits in perfectly with the vibe of the series, making it an essential part of the show's success. In fact, the location is so important that even the upcoming celebrity version will be filmed there! Rumor has it that stars like Stephen Fry, Danny Dyer, and Courteney Cox will be competing in this special edition of the show.
As for where the contestants stay during filming? Well, host Alan Cumming revealed that they don't actually stay in the castle like we might expect. Instead, they all stay at the airport hotel in Inverness – not quite as glamorous as the castle, but still a great place to stay!
It's clear that the BBC is invested in The Traitors, and for good reason. The show has become a staple for the network, with millions of viewers tuning in for the last finale and hundreds of thousands of people applying to be on the show. And with its simple yet deceitful rules, it's no wonder the show has become such a hit.
But let's not forget about the castle itself. It truly is a beautiful location, with the breakfast room becoming a recognized staple of the show. And as for the rules of the game, they may seem simple at first glance, but they lead to a game of complicated deceit. Traitors must not be discovered to win, while Faithfuls must try to figure out who the Traitors are. And with daily rounds of voting and secret murders, it's no wonder this show keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
We reached out to the BBC for comment, but for now, let's all sit back and enjoy the new series of The Traitors, starting tonight at 8pm on BBC One. Don't forget to share your thoughts and predictions with our The Traitors WhatsApp channel – we'd love to hear from you!
