BBC The Traitors releases brand new season and you can watch all 12 episodes now
A brand new series of The Traitors has just dropped on BBC iPlayer. The Traitors fans who are struggling to pass the time between the latest season of the show and the highly anticipated Celebrity version later this year will be delighted to know the BBC has just dropped a new season of the programme to make the wait more bearable. The latest season saw Leanne Quigley and Jake Brown take home the grand crash prize after a nail-biting finale was filled with brutal banishments. Since then, the BBC has confirmed the star-studded cast list for the upcoming Celebrity Traitors, which includes Charlotte Church, Alan Carr, and Jonathan Ross among the contestants. The show will air on screens this autumn but if that feels too far away then the spin-off series The Traitors NZ has just dropped on iPlayer. All 12 episodes are now available to stream while the programme airs on BBC Three. The second season of the New Zealand edition of the show sees 22 contestants descend on Claremont Manor, which sits at the foot of Mount Horrible in Timaru. The group of Kiwis compete around the roundtable in the hopes of winning up to $100k, which equates to over £44k, the Metro reports. The spin off sees UK host Claudia Winkleman's role being filled by New Zealand TV presenter Paul Henry, who also hosts the New Zealand version of The Chase, making him the local equivalent of Bradley Walsh. The new season of the psychological game show is filled with classic mind games, kicking off with a bizarre task that asks the contestants to search the ground for body parts of a doll. The inaugural season of The Traitors NZ relied on offbeat casting choices, with many contestants knowing one another before entering the Manor, to make the show stand out from its British, American and Australian editions. Anyone unsure about whether or not its their cup of tea, its difficult to make a dismal season of The Traitors when the format is fairly bulletproof. After the group of Traitors are selected by Henry in the first episode, the new season quickly moves on to the murdering and manipulation. Commenting underneath an X post announcing the new season of The Traitors NZ, fans rushed to have their say on the show. One particularly enthusiastic viewer even went as far as to brand it as the 'by far the best English speaking series of The Traitors.' Another impressed viewer echoed: "I enjoyed this season some good players and deceiving." A third penned: "This is so good!! I'm obsessed." A fourth simply stated: "Can't stop watching this!" Elsewhere in The Traitors universe, the US spin-off is set to return soon with a new cast of celebs waiting to enter the Scottish castle. Hosted by the iconic Scots presenter Alan Cumming, the season four cast has been confirmed. It includes big names like Love Island star Maura Higgins and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna. The Traitors NZ is available to stream on BBC iPlayer, with episodes airing on BBC Three from 8pm on July 16.

Your next Traitors fix, and Yungblud's new album: What's coming up this week
Are you missing the drama of The Traitors? Fear not because the New Zealand version drops on BBC Three and iPlayer on Monday. But that's not all the next seven days have in store. Yungblud's new album is out, 28 Years Later is released in UK cinemas, gaming fans have Date Everything to look forward to, and Benson Boone is also dropping a new album. Read on for what's coming up this week... This Monday, we're gearing up to watch 22 New Zealanders lie, cheat and betray their way to winning up to $100,000 (£44,000). That's right, it's time for series two of The Traitors NZ, filmed at Claremont Manor at the foot of Mount Horrible (no, really). As with the British version, the show is a study in human nature, as alliances form early on, and suspicions run rife. The series already aired in NZ, with the New Zealand Herald saying it could be 'the reality TV hit of the year'. But one thing it doesn't have is Claudia Winkleman and her epic wardrobe. Instead, it's hosted by New Zealand broadcaster Paul Henry. Don't worry, his outfits are just as fabulous. Yungblud, the chart-topping singer who set up his own festival, is dropping his new album Idols on Friday. I was lucky enough to see him at a party in central London recently, where I got a sneak preview of the new album - a blend of his signature pop-punk and emotional depth. The 27-year-old artist - whose real name is Dominic Richard Harrison - was there alongside Florence Pugh, who stars in the music video for one of his new songs, Zombie. He said the new record, made in the north of England with his best mates, was his "most ambitious and exciting music to date". Yungblud is known for his committed young fanbase and, with his new album, he's said he wants to make that community even bigger. Harking back to the sounds of Queen and David Bowie, he told my colleague Mark Savage that it would "reclaim the good chords" (Asus4 and Em7, in case you're wondering). "The shackles are off," he said. By Alex Taylor, culture reporter Batten down the hatches and don't make a sound - this week sees director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland unleash 28 Years Later. It's a long-awaited return for the UK-based zombie horror series that first infected audiences in 2002 with 28 Days Later. The protagonist, 12-year-old Spike (Alfie Williams), lives with his parents Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Isla (Jodie Comer). He's only ever known life on an island connected to the quarantined British mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. I've seen a sneak preview, and while I can't say much, the trademark realism and unrelenting tension persists. Fans of The Last of Us will love this. As for those fan theories sparked by the trailer? Despite speculation that Cillian Murphy appears as a zombie, Boyle has confirmed to IGN that the Oscar-winner, who made his name in the original film, will only reprise his role as Jim in the next instalment - already shot and due for release next year. By Tom Richardson, Newsbeat reporter It is perhaps not so surprising that a video game created by two veteran voice actors opens with the main character at risk of losing their job to AI. But where Date Everything! goes next is somewhat more unexpected. Players don a pair of high-tech glasses called "Dateviators" that turn household objects including fridges, doors and lamps into potential love interests. Creators Robbie Daymond (Critical Role) and Ray Chase (X-Men '97, Jujutsu Kaisen) obviously raided their contact books, as each item is brought to life in the form of a human cartoon avatar created by a star from the worlds of gaming and anime. In a bit of fortuitous timing, this celebration of their craft arrives on consoles and PCs from Tuesday, just days after a months-long video game acting strike was suspended. By Mark Savage, music correspondent King of the backflip Benson Boone had the most-streamed track in the world last year with Beautiful Things - earning enough money to buy his first house - but now he's ready to move on. "I'm getting to the point where I just want people to know that there's more than just that song," he told Rolling Stone earlier this year. The results have been mixed. His comeback single Sorry I'm Here For Someone Else, a propulsive new wave anthem, peaked at number 20 in the UK charts, while Beautiful Things still continued to remain stubbornly lodged in the top 10. But his new album, American Heart, is worth your attention. The title track is a widescreen anthem about a near-fatal car accident he got into as a teenager; Mr Electric Blue is a spirited tribute to his dad (featuring the lyric, "Watch the way you talk to me/If you want to keep your two front teeth"); and the second single Mystical Magical features a falsetto so ridiculous its almost endearing. Repackaging the sounds of Queen and Elton John for the TikTok generation, it's efficient and catchy – though I'd avoid the saccharine Momma Song if you have an aversion to schmaltz. Untold Legends: Hedy Lamarr drops on the BBC World Service on Monday Gianni Versace Retrospective opens at Arches London Bridge on Monday Supersonic, a documentary about Oasis, is re-released in a limited number of cinemas on Monday Royal Academy Summer Exhibition opens on Tuesday Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, series two, drops on Netflix on Wednesday Sheffield DocFest starts on Wednesday Heston: My Life with Bipolar is released on BBC Two and iPlayer on Thursday The Isle of Wight Festival starts on Thursday Haim's new album, I Quit, drops on Friday Grenfell: Uncovered is released on Netflix on Friday

Yung Filly faces two new sexual assault charges
British rapper Yung Filly is facing two more charges related to the sexual assault of a woman while on tour in Australia. The YouTuber, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, appeared before Perth District Court. In March he pleaded not guilty to three counts of assault occasioning bodily harm, one of strangulation and four counts of sexual penetration without consent. According to court documents filed on Friday he faces two new counts of sexual penetration without consent, and no plea has been entered for them. The attack is alleged to have taken place on 28 September. Barrientos had been touring Australia at the time of the alleged offences. The internet personality has been on bail since October 2024 after allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s in his hotel room after he performed at a venue in Hillarys, a coastal suburb of Perth. Barrientos admitted to a reckless driving charge on 5 December, according to court documents. He had been caught driving more than 96mph on the Roe Highway near the Perth suburb of High Wycombe on 17 November. The star is known for his work with the YouTube collective Beta Squad, appearing in the celebrity version of Bake Off on Channel 4 and presenting BBC Three shows. A 10-day trial is scheduled to start on 20 July 2026.
