BBC has secured the iconic Ardross Castle as the filming location for The Traitors for the next six years, ensuring the continuation of the show's recognizable backdrop. The decision comes after the show's immense popularity, which has led to a surge in wedding bookings for the castle.
The Traitors fans have two reasons to celebrate – the third series begins tonight and also, BBC have reportedly made a bold choice that indicates the longevity of the series. Ardross Castle in Alness, north of Inverness in the Scottish Highland, is a location that viewers have got used to seeing on their screens and may continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
The soaring popularity of the gameshow hosted by Claudia Winkleman has been enough to urge the team behind the show to book the picturesque building and its surrounding land to ensure it remains part of the programme. The producers are said to have booked the Scottish castle, where the prior episodes have been filmed for the next six years. ‘The ultimate nightmare would be if the producers tried to return to Ardross Castle after the Beeb commissioned more series only to find it was unavailable,’ a TV insider told The Sun. They added that the castle is in ‘huge demand’ for weddings, with the amount of bookings increasing following the show’s success. ‘Without taking this bold measure, it was at risk of becoming a victim of its own success,’ they continued. Ardross Castle has become synonymous with the UK show. The regal decor fits in with the vibe of the series. The production team are limited on when they can film the show too due to their desire to provide a moody and dark aesthetic. Long summer days are avoided, and instead late spring and early autumn are desirable. While the location may stay the same, fans will be getting something new this year – a celebrity version! The first of its kind will reportedly feature actor Stephen Fry, soap legend Danny Dyer and Friends star Courteney Co
