‘The Traitors: New Blood’ Season 1 Cast: Meet the 22 Civilian Contestants
NBC has revealed the cast for The Traitors: New Blood.
The show, a spinoff of Peacock’s hit competition reality series The Traitors, follows an all-civilian cast instead of celebrities and socialites. Host Alan Cumming will open the doors to the Scottish Highlands castle for 22 everyday Americans who were hand-selected from a nationwide search. He will choose who will play as Traitors and Faithfuls.
