Author: Alex RossPublished 19th Jan 2024

It's safe to say the current second series of BBC reality show The Traitors has had the nation hooked since it started earlier in January, but like everything, all good things must come to an end.

As we sit with open mouths watching this year's cast banish and murder one another, under the watchful eye of the legend that is Claudia Winkleman, bosses have released further details about this year's final.

When is The Traitors final?

After four weeks, the series two final of The Traitors will take place on Friday 26th January.

How long is it on for?

In news announced this week, BBC bosses have confirmed the final episode has been extended, with a total running time of 70 minutes.

The episode will air between 9pm-10.10pm.

How can I watch the final?

Just like every other episode, the final episode will air on both BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

What is the prize for winning?

The winning contestants will win a huge share of £120,000. Just like in series one, more than one person could win the show.

During series one, Aaron, Meryl and Hannah won a total of £33,000 each.

Who is in the final?

It's too early in the series to tell which contestants will make it to the final, but after the shock murders of the likes of Diane, Aubrey and Tracey, and the banishing of Sonja, Paul and Miles, it could be anybody's game!
