After what seems like a lifetime since The Traitors was last on our TV screens, fans of the duplicitous reality series will be able to get an added fix from those across the pond, in The Traitors US season 2.

While the series aired in the US around the same time the second season of the UK version did, it has taken its sweet time to make its way to streaming services for fans in the UK.

Hosted by Alan Cumming, the second season of the US Traitors will be available to stream on BBC iPlayer from Wednesday 12th June!

While the US version follows a similar pattern to the UK season, there are some changes. Firstly, civilians are out and celebrities are in, meaning that we get a full star-studded line-up of Faithfuls and Traitors.

Secondly, two new areas have been added: the scullery and the folley. And the third (and arguably the biggest) change is that instead of going to the armoury, contestants have to win Shields in challenges.

If there's one thing Johnny Devenazio loves more than game shows – he has competed in several seasons of The Challenge and appeared on MTV's The Real World: Key West – it's bananas. He earned his nickname because he shoved bananas in his mum's car's tailpipe to get out of school, and his first job was at a Banana Republic store.

If you can handle the wrath of Michelle Visage, you can handle anything, and we have no doubt that this is drag queen Peppermint's approach as she joins The Traitors US line-up. She was a favourite among fans in season 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race, and was a whisker away from winning the whole thing, as she sashayed away as the season's runner-up.
