It's time to stock up on tartan, because hit competition show The Traitors is slated to return to Peacock early next year. On Thursday, the streamer revealed the full cast for The Traitors Season 2, which, unlike the first season, will be comprised entirely of celebrities from across television, sports, and politics.
The Season 2 cast leans heavily on familiar faces with competition experience, including The Challenge's Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio and Chris "C.T." Tamburello, former Survivor castaways Parvati Shallow and Sandra Diaz-Twine, and Big Brother's Dan Gheesling and Janelle Pierzina. However, there are also quite a few Bravo stars represented — Housewives Tamra Judge (Orange County), Shereé Whitfield (Atlanta), and Larsa Pippen (Miami) will be heading to the Scottish Highlands — as well as athletes like boxer Deontay Wilder and basketball player Marcus Jordan.
The full cast list is as follows:
Though the cast makeup has changed, the format of The Traitors Season 2 remains the same. The 21 celebrities will gather at a castle in the Scottish Highlands, where they will be divided into two camps: "the Faithful" and "the Traitors." The contestants compete in a series of physical and mental challenges for a chance to win a $250,000 prize, but as the competition progresses, the Traitors take steps to steal the prize — including "murdering" someone under the cover of darkness — while the Faithful attempt to root out the rats among them.
Alan Cumming returns as The Traitors host, but in Season 2, he'll have some assistance from his dog Lala, described by Peacock as his "trusty sidekick." Lala's role in the competition remains a mystery, but at the very least, fans can expect her and Cumming to serve some fabulous matching looks.
