Bachelor Nation will be represented by Gabby Windey and Wells Adams, while RuPaul’s Drag Race star Bob the Drag Queen will also compete.

Many of the new stars are familiar with the competition reality TV genre, including Survivor alums Jeremy Collins, “Boston” Rob Mariano, Tony Vlachos and Carolyn Wiger, as well as former Big Brother contestants Danielle Reyes and Britney Haynes.

Britney Spears’ ex-husband  Sam Asghari, Down to Earth with Zac Efron’s Dylan Efron, Total Divas’ Nikki Garcia, The Biggest Loser’s Bob Harper, British royal Lord Ivar Mountbatten and Selling Sunset’s Chrishell Stause round out the cast.

Shortly after Sam’s casting was revealed, sources told TMZ that he is “not allowed” to talk about Britney or their marriage on the show. The stipulation includes anything positive or negative about the “Toxic” singer, according to the report.

“Our sources say it’s clear Britney doesn’t want a peep out of Sam about her, period,” the outlet stated in June 2024.

Who Is Hosting ‘The Traitors’ Season 3?

Alan Cumming is set to return as the host for season 3 of The Traitors, which will once again be filmed at the grand Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands. Additionally, Alan’s sidekick Lala will also return.

While the show has become quite the success, Alan has admitted to being surprised about its popularity. “I just thought it sounded like a fun idea and then all of a sudden, it’s this massive thing,” he said.

What Is ‘The Traitors’ About?

Based on the Dutch series De Verraders, The Traitors has Alan secretly anoint “Traitors.” The rest of the contestants are expected to remain faithful to the group, and are tasked to identify the Traitors during the round-table ritual. While the Faithfuls are expected to work together to banish Traitors, the Traitors are able to “murder” a Faithful each night and remove them from the game.

The goal of the Faithfuls is to make it to the end, where the contestants must decide who is a Faithful and who is a Traitor. If the remaining Faithfuls are able to identify the Traitors, they get to split the cash prize. However, any remaining Traitors have the option to take the money for themselves.

When Does ‘The Traitors’ Season 3 Premiere?

Four months after the new season’s cast was announced, Peacock revealed that season 3 of The Traitors will premiere on January 9, 2025. The episodes will be available to stream directly on Peacock.
