Get ready to see castle murders and bunches of betrayals once again, Faithfuls! The Season 5 cast of The Traitors has just been announced, and fans are in for a treat.
The Emmy Award-winning show will be back next year with an all-new celebrity lineup of 23 reality and pop culture icons set to compete, deceive, and bring the heat to the roundtable. Steering the game with his unrivaled looks and signature wit is beloved host Alan Cumming, who also serves as executive producer.
The Traitors follows celebrities living in a Scottish Highlands castle, who are all competing for $250,000. They complete challenges to rack up their prize pot, while also trying to figure out who the Traitors are.
There is a contestant murdered by the Traitors, and then one banished by everyone at the roundtable. If all Faithfuls make it to the end, they split the prize pot. If even one Traitor slips through the cracks, they win it all.
The Season 5 cast was revealed on September 18. Some fans suspected. Others are a total surprise. Here are the reality stars, actors, singers, and more competing on the show in 2027. A premiere date had yet to be announced.
If you can’t wait that long, The Traitors: New Blood just began its first season on NBC on September 17. Episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
