| Eleven British strangers get the shock of their lives when they discover that they are not going on a fun new reality show called Summer Camp, but actually a horror whodunit called Killer Camp. The contestants have to try and earn cash while avoiding being 'killed' and therefore eliminated from the game, all while spending five gruesome nights in an '80s themed US lodge. | |||

| The campmates try to recover from the previous night's shocking killing as their suspicions see bromances broken, alliances forged and a relationship blossom.

| 3 | "A Killer Accusation" | 29 October 2019 | |
| Suspicions drive the campmates apart as they try to deduce who was behind previous night's murder, while being thrown into freezing lakes, retrieving buoys for cash and playing a horribly awkward game that sees their true opinions about each other shared out loud. The campfire brings another shocking twist as the camp votes for who they think the killer is for the first time before another victim is brutally claimed. | |||
| 4 | "A Killer Twist" | 30 October 2019 | |

| Events come to a head as two campers clash about the clues they have received and make a final play to convince fellow campers of their innocence. The campmates also vote one last time to guess the killer's identity. | |||
