The Traitors Gets Season 2 Release Date At Peacock — Watch Trailer

Alan Cumming is inviting a new batch of contestants to his Scottish mansion, and we finally know when the deception and backstabbing will all kick off.

Season 2 of The Traitors will begin streaming on Peacock Friday, Jan. 12 with its first three episodes, TVLine has learned. (Subsequent episodes will hit the streamer Thursdays at 9/8c.) The new season will also be accompanied by an official after-show, The Traitors Postmortem, which will feature "additional footage and interviews with eliminated contestants" and will be available on Peacock as well as the streamer's YouTube channel.

Peacock has released a trailer for Season 2 as well, which you can watch above. As previously announced, the 11-episode run (plus reunion special) will feature competitive reality stars from Big Brother, The Challenge, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Survivor, Bling Empire and more, plus a professional boxer, Michael Jordan's son and a former member of the UK Parliament. (Get the full cast rundown here.)

For the uninitiated, the unscripted competition series sees contestants tackling a series of challenges with the objective of accumulating a large cash prize. But three of the contestants are traitors looking to steal the prize out from under the other contestants known as "the faithful." If the faithful can work together to banish the traitors by game's end, they will win the prize pot. But if just one traitor makes it to the end, he or she will snatch the cash.

The cast for its debut season (which was released on Peacock as a 10-episode binge in January) included Survivor's Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick and Cirie Fields, Big Brother's Cody Calafiore and Rachel Reilly Villegas, Below Deck's Kate Chastain, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Brandi Glanville and more.
