Peacock has announced that the third season of its Emmy-winning reality competition series, The Traitors, will premiere on January 9. Once again hosted by the ever-dapper Alan Cumming, the new season boasts a cast of 21 reality TV veterans and other familiar faces, all vying for a $250,000 prize. But as always, some among them are secretly Traitors, plotting to eliminate their fellow contestants – the “Faithful” – and claim the prize for themselves.
The lineup features a potent mix of personalities, with contestants drawn from various reality show ecosystems. Survivor fans will recognize multiple alumni, including Carolyn Wiger, Jeremy Collins, Rob Mariano, and two-time winner Tony Vlachos.
Big Brother is also well-represented with Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes. The Real Housewives franchise contributes several members, including Chanel Ayan (Dubai), Dolores Catania (New Jersey), Dorinda Medley (New York City), and Robyn Dixon (Potomac).
The full list of contestants is below:
– Bob Harper (The Biggest Loser)

With such a disparate group, the potential for dramatic clashes and cunning betrayals is high. Can the Faithful sniff out the Traitors and banish them before they seize the prize? Or will the Traitors succeed in their deception, leaving the Faithful empty-handed and likely a bit embarrassed? We’ll find out starting January 9th.
The Traitors is produced by Studio Lambert for Peacock. Executive producers include Stephen Lambert, Mike Cotton, Sam Rees-Jones, Rosie Franks, Jack Burgess, and Tim Harcourt.
