GET ready for some twists of epic proportions as the new series of The Traitors is set to be the most thrilling yet.
The series will kick off on New Year’s Day as a new group of players compete for the jackpot £120,000 prize.
Producers have promised new twists and turns with “a whole new game” in store for players.
Host Claudia Winkleman, 52, has also hinted at a new show format but is not letting too much out.
At a recent roundtable, Claudia said “can’t tell you” when asked if there are any twists in the new series.
The Traitors’ host told The Sun’s TV magazine: “I mean, yes and no, I can’t tell you. I’m sorry. I realise that’s annoying. There is one twist this year which I think will have people on the edge of their seats.”
Discussing the specific missions this season, Claudia said: “The missions in series three are really, really exciting. I love them and I hope viewers love them.
“They keep getting bigger and better, and this year they have more stakes in the bigger picture of the game than ever before…”
The return date of The Traitors was recently confirmed by the BBC, with an eerie new trailer featuring Claudia Winkleman being released.
In the sneak preview, viewers are immediately transported back to the hit reality show in the dramatic teaser.
The short clip shows a number of hooded figures carrying the lanterns as they return to their infamous castle lair.
As fireworks then emblazon the screen, the bright logo of the Traitors then flashes up.
Claudia’s voiceover cheekily says: “Start the new year with a bang.”
The Strictly Come Dancing host will meet the new roster of strangers in what the corporation calls “the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust.”
Stand up comedian and presenter Ed Gamble, 38, is also returning to the show.
The episodes of the spin-off will once again be available directly after every episode of the main show on BBC Two and iPlayer.
The first two episodes of the show will air at 8pm on-screen and the rest of the series will be available to watch an hour later.
As per the last series, the hit reality gameshow format will air Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights.
Series three of The Traitors will launch on Wednesday 1st January 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
