Summary
Peacock disclosed all 23 contestants for the next celebrity edition of The Traitors, due in 2027, with Kristin Chenoweth, Chloe Kim, Dominic Monaghan and Rashad Jennings among the best-known names.
The season again starts with all players as Faithfuls before host Alan Cumming selects typically three Traitors, who secretly eliminate rivals while the rest try to identify them.
The cast leans more heavily toward Hollywood actors than usual while still drawing from Peacock’s reality-TV pipeline, including Bravo, Love Island, Big Brother, Survivor and The Bachelor alumni.
A 72% viewership jump for the fourth season — won by Love Island U.S. alum Rob Rausch — helped Peacock renew the franchise for three more seasons, taking its expected run to at least nine.
That momentum has already produced a spinoff: civilian edition The Traitors: New Blood premiered on Sept. 17 and is treated as the franchise’s fifth season, with the celebrity installment counting as the sixth.
