The Traitors US: From reality stars to politicians, season 2’s cast is unhinged

22nd September 2023

What do you get when you put Michael Jordan’s son, the first two-time winner of Survivor and the former Speaker of the House of Commons together? Season two of The Traitors US, apparently.

Peacock has announced the cast of its upcoming season, which is set to air early on in 2024, and it’s something nobody saw coming.

Among those competing are Sandra Diaz-Twine and Parvati Shallow, both of which are known for their legendary gameplay that led them to victory on the reality show of all reality shows, Survivor.

Joining them are Big Brother US icons Janelle Pierzina, who is arguably the best player to never win and an all around gay icon, and Dan Gheesling, who pulled off some of the best game moves in the show’s history.

Beloved RuPaul’s Drag Race star Peppermint will also be competing, much to the joy of fans who are (rightly) angry at her still not appearing on a season of All Stars.

In addition to the 18 reality stars on the cast, there are three notable public figures: Marcus Jordan, the son of basketball legend Michael Jordan, John Bercow, the former Speaker of the House of Commons, and Deontay Wilder, a boxer.

Alan Cumming returns to host and – as if things weren’t chaotic enough – this time he’s bringing his dog, Lala, along with him for the ride.

As with the show’s first season, which was won by Survivor star Cirie Fields, the cast will be vying for a $250,000 cash prize as they live together in a castle in the Scottish Highlands.

The Faithfuls will be tasked with uncovering the identities of the Traitors, whose goal is to make it to the end undetected in order to take home the entire prize pot.
