Peacock Drops the 23 Celebrity Names Playing “The Traitors” in 2027

Peacock has released the list of celebrities who will take part in the Emmy-winning competition show “The Traitors,” returning next year with 23 personalities from reality TV and pop culture at the table.

Alan Cumming, an Emmy winner, will return as host and executive producer.

Among the list of the contestants are Bianca Del Rio, known from “RuPaul’s Drag Race”; Boman Martinez-Reid, content creator; Bronwyn Newport from “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City”; actress Casey Wilson; Chloe Kim, Olympic snowboarder; Cody Simpson, a singer; Craig Conover from “Southern Charm”; Cynthia Bailey from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”; Dominic Monaghan, an actor; Emira D’Spain from “Next Gen NYC”; Gizelle Bryant from “The Real Housewives of Potomac”; Iain Stirling, a comedian from “Love Island”; Jag Bains from “Big Brother” and “Amazing Race”; JaNa Craig, from “Love Island USA”; Joey Graziadei from “The Bachelor”; Johnny Sibilly, an actor; Kristin Chenoweth, an actress and singer; Michele Fitzgerald from “Survivor” and “The Challenge”; Q Burdette, a contestant of “Survivor”; Rachel Robinson, from “The Challenge”; Rashad Jennings, a former NFL player; Taylor Hale, from “Big Brother” and “Amazing Race”; Whitney Leavitt, from “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”.

Produced by Studio Lambert, the show takes place in an ancient castle in the Scottish Highlands. The contestants complete missions to build a prize fund, while a secret group of Traitors tries to eliminate the Faithful step by step. If the Faithful get rid of all the Traitors, they split the prize equally; otherwise, if any Traitor survives until the end, they get all the money.

Last season earned seven Emmy nominations and wins, including Outstanding Reality-Competition Program and Outstanding Host for a Reality/Reality-Competition Program, as well as awards for directing, production design, cinematography, costumes, and picture editing.

Last season also became the most-watched ever, with viewership up 72% from the previous season, according to first-party data and Nielsen numbers. Since its premiere on January 8, the show scored 8.1 billion minutes watched and became the No. 2 streaming original reality series of 2026 by minutes viewed, second only to Peacock’s Love Island USA. The metrics cover December 29, 2025, to September 6, 2026.

Three more seasons of “The Traitors” have been ordered by Peacock. Viewers can watch episodes from previous seasons exclusively on Peacock.

Also, a spinoff show called “The Traitors: New Blood” recently began airing on NBC, where average Americans compete for the prize. Episodes air on NBC Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET and Pacific and stream the next day on Peacock.

Executive producers: Stephen Lambert, Mike Cotton, Sam Rees-Jones, Rosie Franks, Tim Harcourt, Jack Burgess, Darrell Olsen, and Cumming. IDTV created and developed the format in collaboration with RTL Creative Unit, and All3Media International, part of Banijay Entertainment, distributed it.
