A celebrity version of The Traitors will be coming to the BBC, it has been announced.
During the Edinburgh Television Festival, the corporation also revealed the show has been commissioned for a fourth series in its original format.
The third series has finished filming in the Scottish Highlands.
Claudia Winkleman, who fronted the first two series, will return as host of the tense game show in which people try to identify who among them are "Faithfuls" and "Traitors".
In addition to the two new commissions, from Studio Lambert, is news of 12 episodes of the companion show The Traitors: Uncloaked.
The show will be hosted once again by comedian Ed Gamble and will return alongside the third series of The Traitors.
Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, said: "The Traitors has well and truly established itself as an unmissable highlight of the year and the news of a fourth outing, alongside a brand-new celebrity version coming to the BBC, will take the series to a whole new level.
"It will once again be fascinating for our audiences to see who'll outwit, outplay, and outlast. Let the mind games begin."
Mike Cotton, Creative Director, Unscripted at Studio Lambert and executive producer for The Traitors, said: "We are thrilled to be inviting some celebrities into our castle to come and play the game.
"Seeing famous faces navigate the round table or don the infamous green cloaks will be unmissable TV, and what a double treat for the fans with series four also confirmed too.
"There's a whole lot of exciting treachery and deception yet to come from the Highlands... Claudia's going to have to pack some extra knitwear."
The Traitors has earned a raft of awards including the BAFTA award for Best Reality and Constructed Factual in 2023 and a UK National Television Award for Best Reality Competition, also in 2023.
Last year, host Winkleman won a TV BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance and the Edinburgh TV Festival's Outstanding Achievement Award.
Broadcast details for The Traitors, Celebrity Traitors (working title), and The Traitors: Uncloaked will be confirmed in due course.
