The BBC’s The Traitors UK came to a dramatic conclusion at the end of January. If you can’t get enough of this deceptive series, fear not: there are two seasons of the American version of the game show.
The American version of The Traitors takes place in the same Scottish castle and again includes grueling tasks for both the faithful and the traitors. There are, however, a few key differences. Scottish actor Alan Cumming is running in Claudia Winkleman’s place, and many of the contestants are celebrities.
If you want to watch both seasons of The Traitors (US) in the UK and other countries, we have all the information you need. You can also check out our analysis on why this show and The Mole are so popular.
When will The Traitors (US) season 2 be released in the UK?
The Traitors (US) is now rolling out Season 2 episodes in America on Peacock. The BBC confirmed it would be coming to iPlayer later this year, but did not specify a release date.
The series is set to conclude in the US on February 29, so it’s possible it could land on iPlayer soon after.

How to watch The Traitors season 2 (US) in the UK and abroad
All episodes of the first season of The Traitors (US) are available on BBC iPlayer as a box set. However, the second season is currently exclusive to Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service.
Premium (ad-supported) costs $5.99 per month and Premium Plus (ad-free) costs $11.99 per month.
You can sign up for Peacock outside America using a VPN. A VPN can unblock streaming services by making it look like you’re in the United States, regardless of where you actually live.
There are dozens of VPN services, but for unblocking streaming services, we recommend NordVPN and Surfshark. You can find more information in our guide to the best VPNs for streaming.
Once you’ve chosen your VPN, you’ll need to bypass the payment process, which can be done with an iPhone or Android device and a PayPal account.
How to save your payment information on Peacock US
We successfully created a Peacock Premium account using an Android phone and NordVPN
Here’s what you need to do once you download your VPN to your mobile device:
- Launch your VPN on your iOS/Android device and connect to a US server
- Create a new Apple ID/Google Play account in your US-linked browser
- Register your new account on your iOS/Android device’s app store
- You should now have access to the US App Store – download and install the Peacock app
- If you don’t have access to the US app store, connect to your VPN on your PC and push the app to your phone via the web.
- Tap “skip” if the App Store asks you to add payment information to your account.
- Create a new account in the Peacock app with your new email address and a password
- Use PayPal as your payment method (this can be a UK account)
- Once your account is verified, you can log in from your browser on your PC/laptop
During testing, I noticed that the Play Store was not switching to the US version, even when creating a new account.
I got around this by connecting to a VPN on my PC, logging into the US Google Play Store website, searching for the Peacock app, and sending it to my phone (which was still connected to the VPN).
We have received reports that people are unable to install US streaming apps like Max on iOS because the App Store requires users to save their payment information in the App Store and does not accept UK PayPal if you try to register with this account. .
If this happens to you, we recommend purchasing US App Store credit via a digital gift card, which can be added as a payment option in the US. You will need a website that allows you to pay with your UK banking details.
If you set your email address as the recipient, the code to redeem the money will be sent to your inbox. When you add the payment information, select “Redeem a gift card or code” and you should be able to add the money as a credit to your account.
With this, you should then be able to create a Peacock account and change your payment information on your UK PayPal through the website to avoid having to pay for a new gift card every time.
