The Peacock strategy series set in Scotland and hosted by Alan Cumming premiered in January 2023 and was so popular that it quickly got renewed for season 2. On September 21, Peacock officially announced the season 2 cast after rumors were flying about who was on the show. The cast is made up of 21 reality stars/celebrities from shows like Big Brother, Survivor, The Real Housewives, and more. The war between the “Traitors” and “Faithfuls” is about to begin again.

Alan Cumming is returning to host The Traitors season 2. His dog Lala is being introduced as his trusty sidekick, according to Peacock. During Alan’s EXCLUSIVE interview with HollywoodLife before season one premiered, the Scottish award-winning actor talked about how much he enjoyed hosting the reality show.
“I was constantly surprised, amazing, horrified, at people’s behavior,” Alan said. “And just how people behave under stress. And how good people were at lying. How bad people were at lying.”
