Michael Jordan's son, a former Speaker of the House of Commons from the U.K., and a heavyweight boxing champion will join 18 reality TV all-stars for season 2 of Peacock's The Traitors, the streamer has announced. Alan Cumming will return as the deliciously campy host for the competition series, which will air early in 2024, and this time he will have a sidekick: his dog Lala.
Among the cast are two of the greatest Survivor players ever, two-time winner Sandra Diaz-Twine and champion Parvati Shallow, as well as Big Brother legends Dan Gheesling — who pulled off the show's greatest move ever — and Janelle Pierzina. They will be joined by veterans of shows like Dancing With the Stars (Maksim Chmerkovskiy), The Bachelor (Peter Weber), RuPaul's Drag Race (Peppermint), The Challenge (Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio, Chris 'C.T.' Tamburello) and more, including four Real Housewives.

In addition to the 18 reality TV stars are three other public figures, including the son of the greatest basketball player ever. Not only will Michael Jordan's son Marcus be appearing on the show, but the legend's second-oldest child is romantically linked to one of the other contestants, Larsa Pippen from The Real Housewives of Miami. Making for another odd connection is the fact that Pippen is the ex-wife of Michael Jordan's former Chicago Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen.
Also competing will be John Bercow, a British politician who served as a Member of Parliament for more than 20 years, including a decade as Speaker of the House of Commons. And Deontay Wilder, a boxer who held the WBC heavyweight title for five years, will be gunning for the $250,000 prize, too.
See the full cast below.
The Traitors is a reality competition series in which players live in a castle in the Scottish Highlands. The contestants — known as the Faithful — must complete missions to build the pot of money up to a quarter of a million dollars. However, hidden among the Faithful are a few Traitors. After each mission, the Faithful banish someone they think is one of the Traitors, while the Traitors "murder" one of the Faithful they want out of the game. If the Faithful successfully eliminate all of the Traitors, the ones left at the end split the prize money. But if any Traitors remain standing at the end, they take home the entire pot.
Last season, former Survivor and current Big Brother player Cirie Fields was a Traitor, yet she convinced her Faithful allies that she was one of them — which led to her collecting all the money. Will another Survivor take home the cash? We'll have to wait until 2024 to find out, but you can peruse the full cast list and photos of them below — and place your bets now on who will be a Traitor on season 2.
