The Traitors’ first three episodes are now streaming on Peacock, and as we expected, they are riveting. Reality stars Phaedra Parks, Tamra Judge, Shereé Whitfield, Mercedes “MJ” Javid, Larsa Pippen, and her boyfriend Marcus Jordan are among the crop competing for $250,000. However, they aren’t the only Bravo veterans residing in the beloved Scotland castle.
Season 1 Faithful and Below Deck star Kate Chastain will join Season 2 of The Traitors in Episode 5, which will begin streaming on January 25, 2024. “What makes my return to The Traitors so exciting is that no one saw it coming … myself included!” she told People.
Kate didn’t have the easiest time during her first run on the show, but that didn’t stop her from accepting the opportunity to return. “I was willing to give it another go because I knew the cast this year was stacked with so many big, fun personalities,” she said. “And let’s face it: when Alan Cumming invites you back to his castle, you go!”
Kate Chastain returns for The Traitors Season 2, but who else will make a surprise appearance?
In addition to Kate’s return, there’s another legendary reality TV player who will make an appearance: Dr. Will Kirby.
The Big Brother great won Season 2 in 2001 and returned for the All Stars series in 2006. According to Entertainment Weekly, Will’s role is simply a “surprise guest;” however, sources familiar with the production said his entrance is “very dramatic,” which could “lead to appearances in future seasons.”
Season 2 of The Traitors consists of CBS vets Dan Gheesling, Janelle Pierzina, Parvati Shallow, and Sandra-Diaz Twine — all accomplished BB and Survivor players. It’s unclear how Dr. Will’s role will shake up the game, but adding another iconic player to this stacked group of players may not bode well for the others.
