Peacock has given the green light to The Traitors Season 2 following an overwhelmingly positive debut on the streaming service. The Traitors is currently Peacock’s #1 Original reality series.
The hit show brings together the witty humor of returning host and producer Alan Cumming with the deceit and treachery of a celeb-fueled competition set in the Scottish Highlands. Season 1 of The Traitors premiered January 12, 2023.
In addition to The Traitors Season 2 announcement, a Season 1 reunion will stream on Peacock February 28. The reunion is hosted by Bravo’s Andy Cohen.
The dramatic reunion will bring the Season 1 cast together for the first time since the traitorous finale.
Hosted by Alan Cumming, this unscripted competition series is a nail-biting psychological adventure in which treachery and deceit are the name of the game. 20 contestants (including reality A-listers) come together to complete a series of challenges with the objective of earning a cash prize.
The catch? Three of the contestants coined “the traitors” will devise a plan to steal the prize from the other contestants coined “the faithful.”
Season One featured a mix of reality stars and America’s best game-players, including Amanda Clark (Emergency Room Nurse), Andie Thurmond (Director of Music Services), Anjelica Conti (Hair Stylist), Arie Luyendyk Jr. (Bachelor/Bachelorette), and Azra Valani (Yoga Instructor).
Also on board were Brandi Glanville (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills), Christian De La Torre (Veteran & Van Life Influencer), Cirie Fields (Survivor), Cody Calafiore (Big Brother), Geraldine Moreno (Actress), Kate Chastain (Below Deck), Kyle Cooke (Summer House), and Michael Davidson (DMV Office Manager).
The competitors were rounded out by Quentin Jiles (Political Analyst), Rachel Reilly (Big Brother), Reza Farahan (Shahs of Sunset), Robert “Bam” Nieves (Tech Sales Executive), Ryan Lochte (Olympian), Shelbe Rodriguez (Public Affairs Manager), and Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick (Survivor).
“The Traitors is an ambitious, highly addictive and spontaneous format that keeps contestants and viewers on their toes,” said Corie Henson, EVP Entertainment Unscripted Content, NBCUniversal.
Henson continued: “Alan Cumming is a well-dressed genius, the producers at Studio Lambert are brilliant storytellers and the show is the perfect mix of drama and suspense to keep our Traitors and Faithfuls craving more.”
“We hugely enjoyed making the US version of this hit format with NBC and giving Peacock’s audience a highly bingeable murder mystery game full of intrigue and dramatic twists,” said Stephen Lambert, CEO, Studio Lambert.
He added: “This is the game which shows how people judge each other, often leaping to false conclusions, in a way that’s revealing and entertaining, and we’re excited to be making a second season with Alan as together we build on the success of the first.”
