'The Traitors' Season 2: Meet the Cast of Reality Royalty

Hosted by Alan Cumming and boasting a star-studded roster of contestants, season 2 premieres with the first three episodes on Jan. 12.

The Traitors are back for another round of suspicion, intrigue and betrayal!

Hosted by Alan Cumming and based on the hit Dutch series of the same name, season 2 of The Traitors promises plenty of drama and deceit with its premise: 20 contestants -- including some reality TV A-listers -- gather in a remote Scottish castle to complete a series of challenges to earn a cash prize.

Their quest? To work as a team and complete a series of challenges in pursuit of a potential $250,000 prize. The catch? Three contestants, coined "the traitors," will devise a plan to steal the prize from the other contestants, coined "the faithful."

Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors "murder" the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree, while the Faithful try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game. If the Faithful contestants banish all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if a Traitor or Traitors makes it to the end, they will steal all the money.
