The Traitors has returned with a fresh group of stars eager to dive into their murder mystery adventure.
The lineup for the fifth season of the acclaimed reality competition show was revealed on Friday, uniting a new array of celebrities and reality television personalities under one roof with the same principle: trust no one.
This season includes singer Cody Simpson, Whitney Leavitt from Mormon Wife, Real Housewife Gizelle Bryant, and actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth — and there’s a Canadian among them as well.
Here’s how the game unfolds: host Alan Cumming will designate a small group of participants as traitors, while the rest are considered faithful. Each week, the traitors gather in secrecy to eliminate one faithful. In every episode, the contestants convene to discuss, accuse, and confront each other — with the goal of voting out a suspected traitor.
The show, which was recently renewed for three additional seasons, achieved a remarkable seven wins at the 76th Emmy Awards, including accolades for outstanding reality competition program and outstanding host for a reality or reality competition program for Cumming.
