Peacock has revealed the full cast for Season 6 of The Traitors, and it is a list of reality-TV veterans and Olympic athletes that seems designed to mock the show’s own premise. The streamer announced the lineup Friday, with the new season set to premiere in 2027.
The show’s title promises treachery, murder, and deception. The cast delivers Bianca Del Rio, Boman Martinez-Reid, Bronwyn Newport, Casey Wilson, Chloe Kim, Cody Simpson, Craig Conover, Cynthia Bailey, Dominic Monaghan, Emira D’Spain, Gizelle Bryant, Iain Stirling, Jag Bains, JaNa Craig, Joey Graziadei, Johnny Sibilly, Kristin Chenoweth, Michele Fitzgerald, Q Burdette, Rachel Robinson, Rashad Jennings, Taylor Hale, and Whitney Leavitt.
The Show’s Setup
The Traitors is a social-drama competition series. Past seasons have mixed reality-TV personalities with athletes and entertainers.
Season 6 returns to that format after a recent detour. NBC debuted The Traitors: New Blood, the game’s first all-civilians season, on Thursday. The network also renewed the franchise for three additional seasons on Wednesday, the day before the new run began.
The Cast List
The 2027 season brings together a mix of recognizable faces:
- Bianca Del Rio, the drag performer and former RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant.
- Chloe Kim, the Olympic snowboarder.
- Casey Wilson, the actress known for her work in comedy.
- Kristin Chenoweth, the singer and actress.
- Dominic Monaghan, the actor.
- Gizelle Bryant, the reality-TV personality.
- Rashad Jennings, the former NFL star.
- Cynthia Bailey, the reality-TV personality.
- Iain Stirling, the comedian.
- Whitney Leavitt, the reality-TV personality.
The list is notable for its lack of any obvious villains or schemers. Most of these people are beloved figures in their own niches, not the kind of people you expect to stab each other in the back.
The Absurdity
The contrast between the show’s title and its cast is the joke. A show about betrayal and deceit is populated almost entirely by wholesome personalities. It is a deliberate absurdity, and it works.
The show has found a formula that audiences keep coming back to. Mix familiar names with the promise of drama, and the result is a steady stream of viewers tuning in to see what happens next.
The Renewal Announcement
The renewal announcement came just one day before the new season began. The three-season pickup is a strong signal. It means the show will continue to exist for years to come, giving fans something to watch well into the future.

What the List Means
For now, the list stands as a reminder of what makes The Traitors so entertaining. The show takes people we know and love and puts them in situations where they have to fight to survive. It is a recipe for drama, and it has proven successful time and again.
