The Season 2 cast of “The Traitors” is excited for the next season. Just one day after the new group of reality stars was announced, multiple Season 2 cast members gathered for Variety‘s TV FYC Fest in Los Angeles.
During a “Meet the Makers” panel for the Peacock series, Dan Gheesling, Kate Chastain, Parvati Shallow, Phaedra Parks and winner Trishelle Cannatella reflected on their experience — and commented on the Season 3 cast.
Parks was very excited about “Housewives” stars Dorinda Medley and Dolores Catania, while Shallow and Gheesling can’t wait to see the “Survivor” legends compete.
“We’re really super close in real life, so I’ve had numerous conversations about joining the game,” Parks said about Medley. “And I love Dolores. We talk quite a bit too, so I said, ‘Don’t be a Housewife, but be a housewife.'”

The second installment of Peacock’s reality TV show “The Traitors” absolutely exploded in terms of audience visibility and critical acclaim, and now producer Toni Ireland is admitting that she’s “really overwhelmed by the success.” As she explains, “One of the key things that we changed in Season 2 was to go for an all celebrity cast. We had a mixed cast in Season 1, which was brilliant and worked really nicely for us. But then we sort of changed to an all celebrity cast,” with many of them becoming “fan favorites.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.
This time around, the cast featured famous faces from shows like “Big Brother,” “Survivor,” “The Challenge” and “The Real Housewives,” plus sports stars and political leaders. In the show, which Ireland likens to a “murder mystery” and a “whodunnit,” regular players (the Faithfuls) must try to identify who among them are actually murderers...

Welcome to It’s a Hit! In this series, IndieWire speaks to creators and showrunners behind a few of our favorite television programs about the moment they realized their show was breaking big.
“It did feel like the Avengers assembling,” said executive producer Sam Rees-Jones of casting the first all-celebrity edition of “The Traitors” on Peacock. “We knew in Season 2 we wanted to assemble an all celebrity cast knowing that that would create a buzz as well, and would help build on the success of Season 1,” said executive producer Mike Cotton.
The pair, based in the United Kingdom, told IndieWire over Zoom that another key change for the second season of the reality competition series where “faithful” contestants try to weed out who among them are traitors before the latter steal all the money they earned from completing missions was changing the way in which the episodes were rolled out.

The executive producer for Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip is responding to Caroline Manzo‘s lawsuit.
Back in January, Caroline, 62, filed a lawsuit against Bravo, Peacock, NBCUniversal and Shed Media – the producers behind Rhugt – claiming that Brandi Glanville sexually harassed her when they filmed season four in Morocco in 2022.
In the court documents obtained by People, Caroline claimed that production “regularly ply the Real Housewives cast with alcohol, cause them to become severely intoxicated, and then direct, encourage and/or allow them to sexually harass other cast members because that is good for ratings.”
During filming, Caroline claims that Brandi, 51, forced herself on her and kissed her without consent.
Brandi allegedly “then proceeded to mount Manzo on the couch holding Manzo down with her body, forcibly squeezed Manzo’s cheeks together and thrust her tongue in Manzo’s mouth, while humping her.”
The documents also claim that the incident resurfaced...

The second season of The Traitors is a cultural experience -- it's the Megatron of reality television. It has so much built-in reality TV lore and glory that it's no wonder it sets social media on fire.
Honestly, it's the Olympics of reality television and absolutely delicious for understanding every facet of how the genre and its respective fandoms work.
It's the Super Bowl of reality greatness. While some kinks still need to be worked out with the series, from formatting to editing and plenty in between, The Traitors U.S. understands the assignment and deserves to be the hit that it is.
All renditions of The Traitors are positively devourable for various reasons. The savagery of The Traitors U.K. is epic all on its own, and The Traitors Australia has fascinating gameplay.

Dan Gheesling recently announced that he is done with TV after the reunion episode of The Traitors. This is due to the backlash Dan has received after blowing up housewife Phaedra Parks’ game. However, the thing people are struggling to remember is that it is simply just a game. Phaedra even stayed way longer than Dan and what he said was not an immediate concern for most. Unfortunately, it may have been too much for Dan to handle.
Dan Gheesling Blows Up Phaedra Parks’ Game
Dan Gheesling took his last round table seriously. He knew he had to say something that would save his game. Unfortunately, it did not work out in his favor, and he ended up getting banished. However, Dan blew up Phaedra’s game in the process. He announced that she was one of the traitors in the game to try and get the heat off of him.

Kate Chastain is good at The Traitors.
That’s why the producers brought the Below Deck alum back for another try.
Kate was a fan-favorite during the first season of The Traitors USA. She was good at spotting Traitors, spoke at Roundtables without a filter, and her efforts to quit the game led to some good television.
When The Traitors 2 premiered, 21 new players were trying to secure that $250,000 cash prize. But midway through the season, Kate was re-inserted on the show, sharking things up for everyone.
Kate started as a Faithful, but as Traitors began getting exposed, Phaedra Parks from Rhoa forced Kate to become a Traitor.
A short time later, Phaedra was eliminated, leaving Kate as the final Traitor standing.
What if Kate had tried to murder someone else?
With only six people left in the game, Kate was tasked with murdering one of the other five players. This...

The Traitors 2 featured Sandra Diaz-Twine as one of two women from Survivor.
While Parvati Shallow was brought on as a Traitor by Dan Gheesling from Big Brother and Phaedra Parks from Rhoa, Sandra played hard as a Faithful.
Sandra also did well by playing herself close to people she suspected of being Traitors. It almost got her to the end.
Sandra was one of the key people in getting Dan, Parvati, and Phaedra eliminated from the game. This was done while ending her Survivor feud with Parvati and developing a friendship with Phaedra.
Future players may view Sandra’s strategy as one that could work, but her downfall was that she didn’t continue fostering her relationship with one particular Faithful.
Peacock viewers watched as Sandra got turned on by someone she considered a friend in the castle. And it has had a lasting impact on her.

Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale of “The Traitors,” now streaming on Peacock.
Just like the entire season, “The Traitors” Season 2 finale was jam-packed with drama up until the very end.
After banishing the final traitor, plus two innocent faithfuls, “The Challenge” pals Ct Tamburello and Trishelle Cannatella split the final jackpot of over $200,000.
“Below Deck” star Kate Chastain was the last remaining traitor after “Real Housewives of Atlanta” queen Phaedra Parks was banished in last week’s penultimate episode. However, Kate drew a lot of attention to herself at last week’s roundtable after she piled on Phaedra and called her “more selfish than skillful.”
In her first night as a solo traitor, Kate murdered “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alumni Sheree Whitfield, but the pressure was already high from the remaining faithfuls: “Shahs of Sunset” star Mj Javid, “Survivor” double winner Sandra Diaz-Twine, Ct and Trishelle.

There are many lessons to be gleaned from Season Two of The Traitors, Peacock’s smash hit reality TV competition based on the parlor game Mafia: 1) that you should never drink from an ominous-looking rusty chalice, particularly if it has been offered to you by a notoriously cutthroat former Survivor contestant; 2) that virtually everyone looks cool in emerald-green velvet cloaks; and 3) that Peacock has an insanely high budget for both breakfast pastries and Alan Cumming’s headgear.

Phaedra Parks has been on TV screens off and on since 2010 when she joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
After getting her marching orders from the Bravo hit under controversial circumstances in 2017, her time on the network seemed well and truly over.
Thankfully, that wasn’t the case because her appearances on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip and Married to Medicine were excellent.
However, nothing could prepare us for how iconic Parks was on The Traitors Season 2.
At the beginning of the season, there were some concerns when Alan Cummings chose her to be a traitor alongside Big Brother alum Dan Gheesling.
But armed with a killer poker face, quick wit, killer one-liners, high fashion, and a savage personality, the attorney became the best traitor to grace the show because she was unafraid to make big moves, even if it caught her a lot of heat.

Phaedra Parks has some words about her fellow Bravoleberty Below Deck alum Kate Chastain after their time on The Traitors Season 2.
Kate and Phaedra seemed like the perfect Traitors dream team who could win it all together.
After the Rhoa alum picked the Below Deck star to join her as a Traitor, all signs pointed to them taking home the cash.
However, that all changed when Phaedra got too much heat on her at more than one Roundtable.
It quickly became clear that Phaedra’s days were numbered so Kate did what she does best and turned on Phaedra to keep her Traitor status a secret.
Kate called Phaedra more “selfish than skillful” while also declaring that Phaedra was the only person at the roundtable that Kate could “stomach voting for.”
Now, ahead of The Traitors Season 2 finale and reunion show, Phaedra has called out Kate, who she feels took...

Peter Weber, known as Pilot Pete to Bachelor Nation, became the second person to trade in the “Bachelor” mansion for the Scottish castle of “The Traitors.”
Weber joined Season 2 of Peacock’s competition series as a Faithful, someone who is covertly working to sniff out the three Traitors within the cast and banish them out to take home the cash prize. The “Bachelor” leading man follows in the footsteps of Arie Luyendyk Jr., who was a Faithful in Season 1 and nearly made it to the end of the game.
Halfway through this season, Weber put a major target on his back by going after the Traitors. Weber led a loyal group of Faithfuls and planted a trap that Gheesling fell for, which soon led to the downfall of the Traitors’ trio and their eventual banishments. After Gheesling’s departure, Shallow and Parks attempted to recruit Weber to the dark side,...

Andy Cohen hosted The Traitors 2 reunion special and is teasing some drama.
The long-time Bravo host returned to the stage this past weekend to host a reunion with everyone from The Traitors 2.
This is where many of the players learned what happened on finale night, and they watched the ending of the season finale together.
Interestingly, it was filmed in this fashion, but that could lead to some interesting moments on Thursday night.
Peacock viewers can stream the final episode and reunion show for Season 2 on Thursday, March 7.
Andy says that the season finale is just over an hour long and that the reunion show should be viewed right after it.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers from “The Weight of Deceit,” the tenth episode of “The Traitors” Season 2, now streaming on Peacock.
The tenth episode of “The Traitors” revealed that while the group was inching closer to identifying Phaedra Parks as a traitor — the last original one — they decided to turn against Peter Weber and banish him instead. Luckily for them, they did not make the same mistake again and sent her home at the end of the episode.
However, when Weber, possibly the best strategic player of the season, was banished, it’s hard to believe that he wouldn’t be screaming with both frustration and joy when learning that Parks has been a traitor all along. But he wasn’t told right away. In fact, he didn’t find out for quite some time, executive producer Mike Cotton tells Variety.

Two MTV legends have made it to the season finale of The Traitors 2.
Long before Trishelle Cannatella and Chris “Ct” Tamburello joined the Peacock reality competition show, they had careers on MTV.
Trishelle appeared on The Real World: Las Vegas in 2002 and spun that into numerous appearances on The Challenge.
Trishelle appeared on The Gauntlet, The Inferno, Battle of the Seasons, Rival II, and All Stars I. She even made it to the finals of Battle of the Seasons.
Ct got his stars on The Real World: Paris before dipping his toe into the world of reality competition shows.
Ct faired much better than Trishelle on The Challenge and has racked up numerous titles. He won Rivals II, Invasion of the Champions, Champs vs. Stars 1, Champs vs. Stars 2, War of the Worlds 2, Double Agents, and Spies, Lies & Allies. Ct made it to the finals but didn’t win The Inferno,...

The legal complaints targeting Andy Cohen and his Real Housewives franchise are expanding this week, with former cast member Leah McSweeney’s lawsuit alleging drug-related favoritism and a conspiracy to prey on her alcoholism to boost the show’s ratings.
McSweeney, 41, filed the suit on Tuesday, naming the franchise kingpin, Bravo, NBC/Universal, production house Shed Media US, and producers John Paparazzo, Lisa Shannon and Darren Ward. The suit obtained by The Hollywood Reporter alleges that, while aware of the designer’s issues with alcohol and fragile mental health, producers allegedly coerced and coaxed her into drinking alcohol while shooting two seasons of Rhony and one season of a spinoff show. It also targets Cohen specifically, accusing him of playing favorites with those who party with him.
“[Cohen] engaged in cocaine use with ‘Housewives’ and other Bravolebrities that he employs” and rewards “‘Housewives’ with whom he uses cocaine with more favorable treatment and edits,...

While we know that filming is probably already underway, the first cast member has seemingly already leaked, and we’re inclined to believe the person in question will deliver some good TV.

It’s been quite a month for Porsha Williams.
First, she announced her return to The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Then, news broke earlier this week that she had filed for divorce from her husband, Simon Guobadia.
The latter announcement came out of nowhere, mainly because it seemed viewers would see a very different side to her with Guobadia on the Bravo reality series.
With the pair professing their love to each other across social media over the last year, it seemed the only way was up for them.
Sadly, relationships crash down when we least expect it, and in this case, it sounds like Williams is done with Guobadia since she was the one to file for divorce.
Fans have questions about the divorce
In the aftermath of the announcement, fans showered Williams with support on social media, leading to a response early Sunday morning from the Porsha’s Family Matters alum.

Kate Chastain loves the spotlight and has it for the new episode of The Traitors 2.
Phaedra Parks decided to give Kate the chance to become a Traitor. But it wasn’t much of a choice.
Kate can become a Traitor or be sent home. Host Alan Cumming let Phaedra know the stakes, and that’s what she decided.
Dan Gheesling began the season with Phaedra as the two Traitors. They then invited Parvati Shallow to join them.
Dan became an early target and was the first Traitor to be Banished. Parvati then invited Peter Weber to become a Traitor, but he declined.
Parvati was also Banished after acting suspiciously, leaving Phaedra as the only remaining Traitor. And that’s when the Real Housewife turned to Kate.
Will Kate Chastain become a Traitor?
Kate was a chief stew on Below Deck for many years. As such, she knows what it is...
Phaedra Parks decided to give Kate the chance to become a Traitor. But it wasn’t much of a choice.
Kate can become a Traitor or be sent home. Host Alan Cumming let Phaedra know the stakes, and that’s what she decided.
Dan Gheesling began the season with Phaedra as the two Traitors. They then invited Parvati Shallow to join them.
Dan became an early target and was the first Traitor to be Banished. Parvati then invited Peter Weber to become a Traitor, but he declined.
Parvati was also Banished after acting suspiciously, leaving Phaedra as the only remaining Traitor. And that’s when the Real Housewife turned to Kate.

Longtime Bravo fans know Phaedra Parks is — and always has been — a star. But thanks to her standout performance on Season Two of The Traitors, the rest of the world has also discovered an important fact: Phaedra is made for television.
The hit Peacock show features reality TV stars from various shows, including Survivor, Love Island, the Real Housewives franchises, and The Challenge, to compete in a murder mystery-esque game for a cash prize. Among the 20 cast members, three are designated Traitors who secretly work to try to eliminate everyone else.

Since none of the cast members were eliminated during last week’s episode of “The Traitors,” that meant we still had two traitors and 10 faithfuls running around the castle at the start of this week’s hour. The episode began with Phaedra Parks and Parvati Shallow considering whom to murder, with their only possible choices being Trishelle Cannatella, Carsten “Bergie” Bergersen, Mercedes “Mj” Javid and Kate Chastain. So who didn’t make it to breakfast?

Now that she has two seasons of The Traitors under her belt, Kate Chastain is a certified veteran of the Peacock murder mystery competition — and she knows exactly which fellow Bravo star she would cast on the show.
“I really think that Chef Ben would be fantastic. He would be such a good traitor,” Chastain tells TVLine, referring to Ben Robinson, the yacht chef with whom she famously sparred on multiple seasons of Bravo’s Below Deck. “I have a condo in the same building as him. He lives down the street now. And I don’t trust him at all.
