The Traitors Season 5 cast has officially been revealed, and Peacock apparently looked at the concept of putting strangers in a castle and decided it needed even MORE chaos.

Honestly? Respect.

The hit reality competition series is returning in 2027, with Alan Cumming once again welcoming a fresh batch of reality stars, celebrities and professional chaos agents to the castle.

Their mission is simple: figure out who is a Faithful, figure out who is a Traitor, and somehow avoid getting murdered before they can make it to the end.

Easy, right?

The prize is once again a cool $250,000, which means friendships are about to become extremely temporary.

And judging by this cast, I have a feeling the roundtable is going to be a mess.

I have to note that this announcement being made as the new season of The Traitors US has JUST started in strange…

So, Who Is Joining The Traitors Season 5 Cast?

Peacock has assembled a lineup that feels like someone emptied the reality-TV Rolodex, shook it vigorously and said, “Sure. Put them all in Scotland.”

And I am absolutely not complaining.

Here is the full Traitors Season 5 cast:

• Whitney Leavitt — The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives/Dancing With The Stars
• Craig Conover — Southern Charm
• Joey Graziadei — The Bachelor
• JaNa Craig — Love Island USA/Destination X
• Bronwyn Newport — The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
• Cynthia Bailey — The Real Housewives of Atlanta
• Gizelle Bryant — The Real Housewives of Potomac
• Bianca Del Rio — RuPaul’s Drag Race
• Emira D’Spain — Next Gen NYC
• Iain Stirling — Love Island (Narrator)
• Jag Bains — Big Brother and The Amazing Race
• Taylor Hale — Big Brother and The Amazing Race
• Michele Fitzgerald — Survivor and The Challenge
• Q Burdette — Survivor
• Rachel Robinson — The Challenge
• Chloe Kim — Olympic snowboarder
• Cody Simpson — Miley’s ex/singer
• Dominic Monaghan — actor
• Casey Wilson — actor
• Johnny Sibilly — actor
• Boman Martinez-Reid — content creator (you know those hilarious Kardashian videos?)
• Kristin Chenoweth — Broadway star

Yes, you read that correctly.

Kristin Chenoweth is going to be playing The Traitors.

Somewhere, a casting producer is receiving a standing ovation.

The Housewives Have Entered The Castle

Let’s start with what may be one of the most delicious parts of this casting announcement: we have Housewives.

Not one.

Not two.

Three.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City‘s Bronwyn Newport is joining The Real Housewives of Atlanta legend Cynthia Bailey and The Real Housewives of Potomac‘s Gizelle Bryant.

And if you’ve ever watched a Housewives reunion, you already understand why this could be problematic for literally everyone else in the castle.

Housewives don’t need evidence.

They need a vibe.

Someone will breathe slightly differently at breakfast and suddenly Gizelle is going to be like, “Interesting.”

Meanwhile, Bronwyn will have already noticed three inconsistencies in someone’s story and Cynthia will be sitting there looking fabulous while everyone else panics.

I am merely preparing myself.

Reality TV’s Professional Liars Are Also Clocking In

Of course, Peacock didn’t stop with the Housewives.

We’ve got people from Big Brother, Survivor, The Challenge, The Bachelor, Love Island and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

In other words: lying is basically a job requirement.

Taylor Hale and Jag Bains bring Big Brother experience to the castle, while Survivor alums Michele Fitzgerald and Q Burdette know a thing or two about alliances, deception and voting people out.

I cannot explain how excited I am to see Q on my screen again, and to see him play with Michele!!

Then there’s Rachel Robinson from The Challenge, which will be an interesting one, not from an entertainment point of view but because this is a random choice.

Craig Conover Is Also Here, Because Of Course He Is

And then there’s Craig Conover.

The Southern Charm star has spent years navigating the unique social ecosystem of Charleston, where friendships, business relationships, exes and approximately 900 unresolved arguments can all exist simultaneously.

Bachelor Nation and Love Island Are Represented Too

Bachelor Nation isn’t being left out either.

Joey Graziadei is joining the cast after becoming one of the most recognizable faces from The Bachelor universe.

And representing Love Island are JaNa Craig and narrator Iain Stirling.

Which feels especially appropriate because The Traitors is essentially a dating show where the only relationship you’re trying to build is with people who will eventually decide whether to murder you.

Romantic!

And Then Peacock Threw In Kristin Chenoweth

Just when you think you’ve figured out what kind of season this is going to be, Peacock says:

Kristin. Chenoweth.

The Broadway star is joining the cast alongside actors including Dominic Monaghan, Casey Wilson and Johnny Sibilly.

Also joining the group are Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim, Miley’s ex/singer Cody Simpson and content creator Boman Martinez-Reid.

This is where The Traitors gets really fun.

You have people whose entire careers have involved competition, reality-TV strategy and social maneuvering sitting alongside celebrities who may approach the game from a completely different angle.

Nobody knows what anybody is doing.

Perfect.

When Does The Traitors Season 5 Premiere?

Here’s the annoying part.

We have the cast.

We have the castle.

We have the inevitable betrayal.

But The Traitors Season 5 isn’t premiering until 2027.

So, unfortunately, we’re going to have to wait.

And wait.

And speculate.

And decide who we’re suspicious of based entirely on a 12-second cast announcement video.

Because that’s what fandom is for.

BUT WHEN ARE WE GETTING STASSI SCHROEDER CLARK TO THE CASTLE??

The Traitors Season 5 premieres in 2027 on Peacock.
