Peacock confirms ‘The Traitors’ will return for Season 3

Peacock’s Emmy Award-winning adventure of treachery and deceit will return for Season 3 according to a recent press release. The hit TV show hosted by Alan Cumming won the Best Casting for a Reality Program Emmy after Season 1, where we saw “Survivor” legend Cirie Fields murder her way to a $250,000 paycheck. While the cast for Season 3 is still under wraps, the streamer has confirmed Cumming will return as host.

Season 2 of “The Traitors” premiered January 12, 2024 and quickly became Peacock’s most watched unscripted series of all time. Hosted by Cumming at an ancient castle set deep in the Scottish Highlands, contestants work together on a series of exhilarating missions to build a prize fund worth up to $250,000. Hidden amongst the Faithful are the Traitors, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithful and claim the prize for themselves. Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree, while the Faithful try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game. If the Faithful contestants banish all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if a Traitor or Traitors makes it to the end, they will steal all the money.

Season two features reality star royalty and famous faces including: Carsten “Bergie” Bergersen (“Love Island USA”), Chris ‘C.T.’ Tamburello (“The Challenge”), Dan Gheesling (“Big Brother”), Deontay Wilder (Former Boxing Heavyweight Champion), Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu (“Love Island UK”), Janelle Pierzina (“Big Brother”), Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio (“The Challenge”), John Bercow (Former Speaker of the UK House of Commons), Kate Chastain (“Below Deck”), Kevin Kreider (“Bling Empire”), Larsa Pippen(“The Real Housewives of Miami”), Marcus Jordan (Fashion Entrepreneur), Maksim Chmerkovskiy (“Dancing with the Stars”), Mercedes “MJ” Javid (“Shahs of Sunset”), Parvati Shallow (“Survivor”), Peppermint (“RuPaul’s Drag Race”), Peter Weber (“The Bachelor”), Phaedra Parks (“Married to Medicine”), Sandra Diaz-Twine (“Survivor”), Shereé Whitfield (“The Real Housewives of Atlanta”), Tamra Judge (“The Real Housewives of Orange County”) and Trishelle Cannatella (“The Challenge”). 

In the first six episodes we’ve seen Bananas, Marcus, Ekin-Su and Tamra murdered. Banished by the Faithful were Peppermint, Maks, Larsa, Janelle and Dan (the first Traitor eliminated). Deontay decided to quit the game after struggling with the emotional toll of banishing Faithfuls. Now just 12 players remain in a battle for up to $250,000. Will your favorite prevail?

New episodes of “The Traitors” stream each Thursday night at 6pm ET/9pm PT. Season 1 is also available to stream in full exclusively on Peacock.
