Meet the Full Cast of 'The Traitors' Season 2

The Traitors is coming back for a second season, and this time with a full star-studded cast featuring the biggest names from reality TV. While the first season of the U.S. version of the whodunit competition starred a half celebrity, half newbie cast, it became apparent quite quickly that seasoned players from shows like Survivor, Big Brother and The Bachelor were going to eat the noobs alive.

Now the hit Peacock Original is back for Season 2 and it's doubled the amount of stars. The cast features not only your favorite Survivor castaways, Big Brother houseguests and bachelors, but also a slew of players from The Challenge, Love Island and The Real Housewives. There's no release date yet for Season 2, but you'll be able to watch the new crop of Traitors and Faithfuls compete for the $250,000 prize early next year only on Peacock. Until then, check out the full cast list below:

The Traitors Season 2 cast

Carsten "Bergie" Bergersen (Love Island USA)

Bergie broke out as a fan favorite on Love Island USA Season 5 and while he didn't win the season, he did find love. He and fellow finalist Taylor Smith finished in third place and have stayed together since the show's end. With his season wrapping in August 2023, Bergie better swap out the swim trunks in his suitcase for some sweaters.

Chris "C.T." Tamburello (The Challenge)

There are few more seasoned reality-TV stars than C.T. After getting his start on The Real World: Paris back in 2003, he's become a staple on MTV's spinoff series The Challenge. He's appeared on 19 seasons of the show, winning five of them. He'll certainly be one to watch in the show's more physical challenges.

Dan Gheesling (Big Brother)

Many have called Dan the greatest houseguest to ever play Big Brother. He first appeared on Season 10 of the show, snowing his fellow contestants into thinking he wasn't a threat before trouncing the competition and snagging the win. With a massive target on his back he returned for Season 14, where against all odds he made it to the finals. He'll certainly be one of the strategic masterminds of The Traitors.

Deontay Wilder (Boxer)

Deontay is one of the few contestants on The Traitors Season 2 without prior reality-TV experience. However, the professional heavyweight boxer does have an Olympic bronze medal, which can not be said of anyone else on the cast. He's got plenty of fight, should be good at challenges and could throw a wrench into the plans of more savvy players.

Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu (Love Island UK)

The Traitors' other Love Island alum is the winner of UK's Series 8 ("series" not "season" because the Brits are cooler than us). Ekin-Su starred in a Turkish soap opera prior to competing on the dating series, and after her win appeared on Dancing on Ice. While she and her partner Davide did not stay together after the show, that just means she could find love again in The Traitors castle.

Janelle Pierzina (Big Brother)

When Dan made the finals on Season 14 of Big Brother he did so by eliminating Janelle and her alliance along the way. Perhaps she'll be out for revenge this time around. In addition to Season 14, Janelle has cemented herself as a BB legend by appearing on Seasons 6, 7, 14 and 22 of the franchise. She's eternally loved, despite never having won, and if they do another all-stars season, CBS will probably call her up again.

Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio (The Challenge)

Like C.T., Johnny Bananas is MTV royalty. He first appeared on The Real World: Key West in 2006, but has since become a staple on The Challenge and has faced off against C.T. on many seasons. He's competed on 21 seasons of the show and has won seven times. If you're going off track record, I wouldn't bet against him here.

John Bercow (UK Parliament)

Perhaps the oddest casting choice for The Traitors Season 2 is John Bercow, who is known primarily for serving in the UK's parliament, until he was ousted in 2022. Why was he sacked? Apparently he'd been bullying his staff aggressively for more than a decade. While he doesn't have much reality TV experience, he's spent plenty of time on TV. Plus, it will be interesting to see how his bullying goes at the Round Table.

Kevin Kreider (Bling Empire)

Netflix opted to cancel their reality-TV series often dubbed the "real life Crazy Rich Asians" after just three seasons, but Netflix's loss is Peacock's gain. Male model Kevin Kreider will now be breaking hearts in the Traitors mansion. I'm expecting him to rock some especially chic turtlenecks.

Larsa Pippen (The Real Housewives of Miami)

Larsa Pippen was originally known for being NBA star Scottie Pippen's wife, but she's since made a name for herself on The Real Housewives of Miami. After a brief stint on the show's first season, she was brought back for the Peacock reboot in Season 4 and has been a staple ever since. She's accustomed to drama and will hopefully bring some here.

Marcus Jordan (Basketball Player)

While we're discussing former Chicago Bulls, The Traitors, in a fantastic piece of casting work, has cast Michael Jordan's son Marcus in Season 2. Why is this so interesting? Because Marcus happens to be dating Larsa Pippen at the moment. Having two contestants who are dating on the show will certainly be an interesting wrinkle and I'll be excited to see how the other contestants handle this.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy (Dancing with the Stars)

Another exciting addition to The Traitors Season 2 lineup is this professional dancer and on-again-off-again Dancing with the Stars partner. Aside from the Ukrainian version of The Bachelor, most of Chmerkovskiy's reality TV appearances have been dancing related. It will be interesting to see how he competes in something that most likely involves no dancing at all.

Mercedes "MJ" Javid (Shahs of Sunset)

On Season 1 of The Traitors, Shahs of Sunset star Reza Farahan was the first contestant eliminated. Now his co-worker and fellow Shahs star MJ is headed to the mansion. Will MJ fall prey to what I've just decided is a Shahs curse, or will she last much longer?

Parvati Shallow (Survivor)

Peacock certainly knows how to cast Survivor alumni. On Season 1, Cirie Fields cleaned up, taking home the grand prize all for herself. Now her Survivor: Micronesia alliance-mate is here to try and take home more money for the Black Widow Brigade. Parvati has competed on four seasons of Survivor winning Micronesia and narrowly missing out on the grand prize in Heroes vs. Villains. If I had to put my money on one of these players right now, I'd bet on Parvati.

Peppermint (RuPaul's Drag Race)

RuPaul's Drag Race queens don't get cast on other reality TV shows nearly enough, so I'm elated to see Season 9's Peppermint back on my TV screen. The trans icon came in second behind Sasha Velour on Drag Race but has made an even bigger name for herself since, starring on Broadway and movies like Fire Island.

Peter Weber (The Bachelor)

Last season, The Bachelor's Arie Luyendyk, Jr. bowed out during the final moments of The Traitors. Hopefully the same won't be true for this year's Bachelor Nation alum. Pilot Pete came in third on Season 15 of The Bachelorette before becoming the Bachelor on Season 24. While his season was a bit of a mess, and he's dated one of his contestants on-and-off since the show's airing, he appears to be single again and there are eligible bachelorettes in the house.

Phaedra Parks (The Real Housewives of Atlanta)

If we learned anything from Season 1 of The Traitors it was that the Bravo celebs know how to make good TV. Hopefully RHOA's Phaedra is here to continue on in that tradition. She starred on the show from Season 3 to 9 and has since popped up on Ultimate Girls Trip. It will be fun to watch her tussle in a competition setting though, which she hasn't done before.

Sandra Diaz-Twine (Survivor)

The queen stays queen! Why did Parvati not win Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains? Because she was beaten by Sandra, the first player ever to win the game twice. Many have called Sandra the greatest player to ever compete on Survivor and the track record is certainly there. She won both Pearl Islands and Heroes vs. Villains, and even when she was eliminated on Game Changers and Winners at War it was in a spectacular fashion and because of the massive target she had on her back. Will that target however make her an early boot here? We shall see.

Shereé Whitfield (The Real Housewives of Atlanta)

Shereé is about as old-school as you can get in the world of Housewives. She was one of the original RHOA ladies back when the franchise launched in 2008. However, she's exited the franchise twice now and returned years later, so she's only appeared on eight of the 15 seasons, and didn't overlap too much with Phaedra. We shall see if the Atlanta women decide to work together or let past differences get in the way.

Tamra Judge (The Real Housewives of Orange County)

Another bit of reality-TV royalty casting is that of RHOC's Tamra Judge who has appeared on 13 seasons of the show. After a short hiatus, Tamra returned for the most recent season of the show and appears to be ready to get back in the limelight. We shall see if her Housewives training has prepared her for more arguments sitting around a table.

Trishelle Cannatella (Real World: Las Vegas)

While Trishelle has competed on The Challenge, she's certainly not as seasoned as C.T. or Johnny Bananas. Trishelle, a former Playboy model, appeared on Real World: Las Vegas before dipping her toe into the MTV spinoffs. She's appeared on four seasons of The Challenge and will be another physical player to watch here.
