Buckle up, reality fans – the highly-anticipated third season of Peacock’s addictive social deduction series The Traitors is shaping up to be an explosive clash of popular franchises. The newly unveiled Season 3 cast list reads like a who’s who of contemporary unscripted television’s biggest names and personalities.
On one side of the simmering conflict, iconic gamers from shows like Survivor, Big Brother, and RuPaul’s Drag Race will look to outmaneuver and outwit a stacked group of Bravo-lebrities hailing from hits like The Real Housewives, Vanderpump Rules, and Selling Sunset. Six members of the prestigious “Bravo-verse” made the cut, setting the stage for unrestrained chaos and confrontation.
Among the noteworthy Housewives is the brutally honest fan-favorite Dorinda Medley of RHONY fame, joined by RHONJ’s Dolores Catania and recently ousted RHOP originator Robyn Dixon. They’ll be joined by Chanel Ayan (RHODubai), Tom Sandoval (Vanderpump Rules), and Chrishell Stause (Selling Sunset).
The Bravo-lebrities won’t just be battling each other, however. They’ll need to watch their backs against a murderer’s row of cunning veteran gamers and winners like “Boston” Rob Mariano (Survivor), Tony Vlachos (Survivor), Britney Haynes (Big Brother), Bob the Drag Queen (RuPaul’s Drag Race), and more.
Rounding out the eclectic Season 3 ensemble are a few wildcard contestants purposely lacking reality TV pedigrees. In a surprising move, the producers have cast British royal Lord Ivar Mountbatten and model/actor Sam Asghari, the former husband of pop star Britney Spears.
While specific traitor counts remain concealed, the caliber of players assembled suggests viewers are in for one of the most volatile seasons yet of the delightfully devious social experiment. Between bitter vendettas, shattered alliances, and shocking betrayals, the road to claiming the lucrative prize is sure to be a messy delight.
“This cast is a perfect storm of personalities destined to create incessant pandemonium,” raved Entertainment Leak editor Keith Stuckey. “Combining ultra-competitive professionals with unrestrained creative insanity, The Traitors has assembled a modern Avengers-level team of reality icons.”
Fans won’t have to wait much longer to see if the ambitious mix of players implodes spectacularly or fuses into a finely-oiled duplicitous machine. The Traitors Season 3 is expected to premiere on Peacock later this year, delivering the ideal high-stakes escape from reality.
