The Traitors: Season Two Cast, Host, Episodes
The Traitors Season Two premiered on January 12 with Alan Cumming returning to host, alongside his dog Lala. New episodes air every Thursday on Peacock. There are 12 episodes in total for the second season.
Whereas Season 1 of the Emmy-winning series featured a cast of 20 reality television stars and regular civilians, Season 2 features 21 contestants made up entirely of reality stars, athletes and influencers. Among the notable cast members: Real Housewives Larsa Pippen, Phaedra Parks, Sheree Whitfield and Tamra Judge; Survivor winner Sandra Diaz-Twine; boxer Deontay Wilder; Big Brother star Dan Gheesling; and John Devenanzio, a.k.a “Johnny Bananas” from MTV’s The Challenge.
Set in a remote castle in the Scottish Highlands, Cumming will “welcome these 21 larger-than-life personalities as they come together to compete in a series of challenges with the objective of earning a cash prize of up to $250,000,” per a show description.
“The catch? Several contestants (dubbed “the Traitors”) will devise a plan to steal the prize from the other contestants (“the Faithful”) without revealing who’s stabbing them in the back.”
