How to Apply for “The Traitors” on BBC iPlayer
If you’ve been binge‑watching BBC iPlayer and the intrigue of #TheTraitors has you hooked, you might be wondering how to join the next season. The good news is that the casting process is open to anyone with a compelling story and a willingness to out‑wit, out‑play, and survive. Below is a step‑by‑step guide to submitting your application, plus the latest updates on the show’s upcoming lineup.
Step 1: Get the Basics Right
Before you click “Apply”, make sure you meet the eligibility criteria:
- Age 18 or older.
- Resident of the United Kingdom (or eligible territories).
- Available for filming dates announced by the production team.
- Willing to sign a confidentiality agreement.
These requirements are standard for all BBC reality formats, ensuring a safe and fair environment for contestants.
Step 2: Subscribe and Prepare Your Profile
While you don’t need a paid subscription to apply, having a BBC iPlayer account helps the casting team verify your viewing history and gauge your familiarity with the show. Visit the iPlayer site, create an account, and subscribe to the relevant newsletters so you receive casting calls as soon as they are released.
Step 3: Complete the Online Application
Head to the official casting portal, usually linked from the #TheTraitors page on the BBC website. The form will ask for:

- A short video (90 seconds max) introducing yourself and explaining why you’d be a great Traitor or Faithful.
- Examples of past experiences that show strategic thinking or social savvy.
- Any previous reality‑TV appearances (if applicable).
Keep your answers authentic. Casting directors look for genuine personalities, not rehearsed scripts.
Step 4: Submit Supporting Material
In addition to the video, you can attach:
- Photos that capture your everyday life.
