After a rumored cast list took over the reality competition universe this week, Peacock officially announced who is competing in The Traitors Season 2.
On September 21, Peacock’s X account shared a short video of host Alan Cumming playing the trumpet while 21 names scrolled by onscreen. “Just me tweeting out the cast list (kiss emoji),” the tweet reads. “Season 2 of #TheTraitorsUS is coming soon.”
All of the contestants revealed have been in the limelight with most appearing on reality television. Take a look at the official cast list.

It’s worth mentioning that because the U.S. version’s first season had several players who weren’t reality television stars or celebrities, we could potentially see others compete on The Traitors 2, and their names have yet to be announced.
The premiere date for Season 2 hasn’t been confirmed. Peacock’s first iteration of The Traitors US dropped on the streaming platform in January 2023.
Now, let’s check back with that rumored cast list X user @Gamervev (a spoiler account) posted on September 19. They were mostly correct with their additions, albeit they only shared 14 names. The biggest miss was five-time Survivor player and one-time winner Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano. Also, Summer House’s Lindsay Hubbard and The Challenge’s Beth Stolarczyk weren’t part of Peacock’s big reveal either.
If fans are looking to get their Traitors fix in while they wait for Season 2, the Canadian version of the conniving competition show is set to premiere on October 2.
