The Traitors season 2 episode 5 date
The Traitors season 2 episode 5 will air live on BBC One on Thursday, January 11 at 9 pm. Episode 5 will be uploaded to BBC iPlayer at 9 pm, at the same time it airs on live television.
An official Twitter account for The Traitors UK confirmed episodes 5 and 6 won’t be uploaded to iPlayer like the first week. They said: “Correct. Episode 5 tomorrow night.”
One fan wasn’t happy and said: “Poor move. We should be allowed to watch at our own pace. Having to wait according to the schedule does not suit the needs of the viewers in this day and age.”
BBC confirms episode 6 release
Episode 6 will air on BBC One at 9 pm on Friday night, and then shortly be uploaded to iPlayer. Then, viewers will have to wait a week to watch upcoming episodes, with episode 7 airing on January 17.
Although episodes 1 to 3 were all released on launch night, on Wednesday, January 3, producers took the decision to wait until the live episode has aired before uploading episodes to the catch-up platform.
It comes after viewers kept sharing spoilers on Twitter. Episode 4 ended with Ash revealing she’s a traitor as the cliffhanger, but this was disappointing for fans as we all knew her game plan.
Correct. Episode 5 tomorrow night and Episode 6 will be on Friday night.

Traitors: How to take part in BBC show
Applications to take part in BBC‘s The Traitors following series 2 opened on January 10. If you fancy being a traitor or a faithful, you can now be part of the action and sign up on the casting website.
Anyone applying must be 18 years old or above and available to take part in the programme for up to four weeks, which is currently anticipated to take place in spring and summer 2024.
On November 2, 2023, even before the air date for series 2 was announced, applications for series 3 were opened for a spring-summer 2024 filming schedule.
I really want to apply for #TheTraitors Series 3 but know full well that after a few sips of a post-round table G&T I’d be telling people I was a Traitor but not to tell anyone.
