If you live for drama that you have absolutely no part in, then The Traitors is the perfect watch for you. The Peacock reality competition is hosted and produced by none other than (literal icon) Alan Cumming, and season 2 features a ton of folks who have made their rounds on reality TV over the years. Think: Real Housewives, RuPaul’s Drag Race performers, Big Brother veterans—the list goes on. You may be wondering: all those people in one room? What’s the catch?
To put it plainly: a cute cash prize of $250,000. Set in an ancient castle in the Scottish Highlands, contestants embark on exhilarating (and honestly, extremely wild) missions for a chance to take home the funds. Two groups are playing to win: the Faithful and the Traitors, who are determined to eliminate the Faithful in an ultimate game of murder mystery and claim the prize for themselves. On the flip side, the Faithful try to uncover who the Traitors in the group are. If they crack the case, they take home the dough, but if a Traitor makes it to the end… they steal all of it.
Sound like your cup of reality TV tea? Then buckle up and prepare for the chaos that’s going to ensue in the upcoming season of The Traitors, because it’ll literally have you like:
