‘Traitors’ Returns With Star-Studded Cast, How To Watch Season 2
Peacock’s hit reality show The Traitors is back for a second season. Keep reading to find out all the details on the star-studded cast and how to watch.
What’s Changed Since Traitors Season 1
Season 1 of the reality show The Traitors premiered to rave reviews in January 2023. The original premise was that 10 celebrities and 10 civilians were locked in a castle in Scotland together. Three of them were designated as ‘traitors’ by the show. The others were known as the ‘faithful.’
The viewing audience was clued into who the traitors were, but the faithful were left in the dark. The objective of the traitors is to ‘banish’ all of the faithful and split the remaining prize money.
The faithfuls win by identifying and voting out who they think the traitors are. If they eliminate all the traitors, the remaining faithful split the money.
Season 1 saw celebrities such as Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr., Below Deck star Kate Chastain, and Real Housewives alum Brandi Glanville compete.
One change for Season 2 is there aren’t any civilians in the competition. Instead, 21 celebrities are in the Scottish castle. Season 1 host Alan Cumming will return, but he won’t be alone. His dog Lala will serve as his sidekick.
