How To Watch The Traitors US Season 2 Online
Watch The Traitors US Season 2 – Preview
The US version of reality game show The Traitors proved to be a hit both sides of the Atlantic when it aired early last year, coming hot on the heels of the UK iteration of the show. The Alan Cumming fronted show returns to Peacock for a second season on Friday, January 12, promising to be just as sensational as the first. Read on to find out everything you need to know about how and when to watch The Traitors US Season 2.
The game is simple – among the group will be Faithfuls and Traitors. The Traitors will murder one Faithful each night, while the Faithfuls have a chance to banish someone they suspect to be a Traitor. Get it right, the betrayers diminish, get it wrong, one of their number waves goodbye. If any Traitors are left when the game ends, they will win the prize pot, but if the Faithfuls have successfully dispatched all Traitors, they split the winnings. There will, of course, be plenty of twists, turns and shocks along the way.
Alan, and his boujie tartan wardrobe, will this time be joined by his dog Lala as they welcome another group of contestants to the Scottish Highlands. While the first season of The Traitors US set itself apart by placing a number of reality TV celebs in its cast, season 2 has gone all-star, with all 21 contestants being famous faces.
The contestants this year include boxer Deontay Wilder, Ru Paul’s Drag Race star Peppermint, Love Island star Ekin-Su, ex-UK Commons speaker John Bercow and basketball player Marcus (son-of-Michael) Jordan. There’s also Larsa Pippen, Phaedra Parks, Shereé Whitfield and Tamra Judge (all Real Housewives…) and from Survivor, Parvati Shallow and Sandra Diaz-Twine.
