The Traitors is officially making its way to Peacock for another season on January 12 (aka legit tomorrow!), and if the Alan Cumming–hosted reality competition series is anything, it’s an adventure. Season 2 is set in a remote castle in the Scottish Highlands, where 20 contestants with big personalities compete in a series of challenges. The motive? A cash prize of up to $250,000, nbd. 💅
JFYI, there are two sets of contestants on the show—the Traitors and the Faithful—, and because there’s no such thing as being too messy on reality TV, the Traitors devise a plan to steal the prize from the other contestants. On top of everything, no one knows who the Traitors are and they must find out strictly based on vibes. Oh, and based on the season 2 trailer, which we've replayed a truly shameful amount of times, some contestants this season seem to be skeptical about a number of the Real Housewives while others find each other "very annoying." 😬
In the first season, a mix of reality TV "villains" and previously unknown contestants competed for the prize. This time around, however, the cast is fully made up of reality TV royalty, from Real Housewives to performers who made their rounds on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Begging for more? We know you are. Click through the gallery ahead to check out the full cast of The Traitors season 2.
