The US version of The Traitors is renewed for a second season by Peacock.

The US version of The Traitors has been renewed for a second season by Peacock, with Alan Cumming confirmed to return as host.

The reality show has been a huge word-of-mouth success on both sides of the pond, with the UK version - hosted by Claudia Winkleman - bringing in well over 5 million viewers on BBC One and iPlayer.

The US version, meanwhile, was released on iPlayer as a boxset on January 13 and has also aired on BBC Three, drawing 1.2 million viewers for the first episode alone.

Stephen Lambert, exec producer of the format, said: "We hugely enjoyed making the US version of this hit format with NBC and giving Peacock's audience a highly bingeable murder mystery game full of intrigue and dramatic twists.

"This is the game which shows how people judge each other, often leaping to false conclusions, in a way that's revealing and entertaining, and we're excited to be making a second season with Alan as together we build on the success of the first."

The second season is expected to be filmed in Scotland back to back with the second UK series some time this summer.
