LOS ANGELES (AP) — Peacock, the streaming service, has released the first three episodes of Season 2 of “The Traitors,” a reality series that combines elements of mystery and competition. The show features 21 celebrities divided into two teams: the “Faithful” and the “Traitors.” Their goal is to identify the traitors before they are eliminated from the game. Hosted by Alan Cumming, the show offers a $250,000 prize to the winner.
In Season 2, “Big Brother” alum Dan Gheesling and “Married to Medicine” star Phaedra Parks have been chosen as the traitors. They recruit another faithful player, Parvati Shallow from “Survivor.” In the first three episodes, four contestants were eliminated. “The Challenge” star Johnny “Bananas” was “murdered” by the traitors, and “RuPaul’s Drag Race 9” star Peppermint was wrongly identified as a traitor and banished. Marcus Jordan and Maksim Chmerkovskiy from “Dancing with the Stars” were also eliminated.
In a twist, the traitors had to commit murder in plain sight in the third episode. One of the traitors had to convince a faithful player to drink from a chalice, signifying their death in the game. The episode ended on a cliffhanger, with Shallow tasked with committing the next murder. New episodes of “The Traitors” Season 2 are released every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock.
“The Traitors” offers a unique blend of suspense and competition as the celebrities navigate their way through the game. With the stakes high and the pressure on, viewers can expect unexpected twists and betrayals as the traitors try to outsmart the faithful players. The show brings together a diverse and talented cast of celebrities who have to navigate the complex dynamics of the game.
As the season progresses, audiences will be on the edge of their seats, trying to solve the puzzle and uncover the traitors. With its intriguing premise and suspenseful gameplay, “The Traitors” Season 2 promises to be a thrilling ride from start to finish.
