Alan Carr Predicts Chaos – Celebrity Traitors Season 2 Cast Revealed In Time For Thursday Night

The TV Event Is Back – Traitors Castle Reopens

The TV event of the year is finally here. On Thursday night, the Traitors castle will reopen its doors to a brand new cast of 21 famous faces – they’ll spend the next few weeks murdering, banishing and second-guessing one another as they chase a hefty cash prize for a charity of their choosing.

Fans who remember the first run will recall how comedian Alan Carr triumphed in the inaugural series in 2025, leaving viewers stunned in a finale that’s still being talked about. Now the conversation has shifted to the new lineup and who will rise, who will fall, and who will make must-watch TV.

Alan Carr’s Early Reads – Who to Watch

Alan has been ahead of the hype, giving his hot takes on how season two could unfold. Speaking at recent industry events, he flagged a few contestants as ones to watch and didn’t hold back on colorful predictions.

Miranda Hart – the dark horse

Alan singled out Miranda Hart as a potential “dark horse”, saying she reminds him of his own energy and could deliver unpredictable, golden TV moments if she’s cast as a Traitor. He also joked that Miranda’s clumsiness might be her downfall in the heat of the game.

Joanne McNally, Richard E. Grant and the comics

He praised friend and comedian Joanne McNally as a “whirlwind” and a “motormouth” who will bring the laughs and fireworks. Richard E. Grant earned a shout for being a “really interesting” addition – someone whose presence could shake up alliances and tactics.

“I’m buzzing to see what these celebs do – this cast could be gloriously chaotic or pure TV art, and either way I’ll be glued to it,” he said.

Alan also mentioned he was “so jealous” of the fresh cast at the TV Baftas red carpet, and told presenters Amanda Holden and Fleur East that he’d keep an eye on Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan as contenders likely to stir things up.
