The Traitors season 2 features a whole new all star cast that is willing to lie, backstab, and trick one another in the name of money.
The Traitors is back and if you thought last season was amazing, just wait. Season 2 of the popular reality show features an all new all-star cast and they are ready to get blood on their hands. Things are similar, but different, this time around as the show evolves to make things a little more interesting. Of course, they also don’t want those that watched the first season to know what to expect.
Having seen just the first three episodes of The Traitors season 2, things are already being changed up. Right from the start certain things are done differently, including how all of the traitors are chosen. We don’t want to get too much into it, for fear of spoilers, but just know that if this is how certain things are already being done, we can’t wait to see how it all plays out.
This cast features many fan favorites from series like The Challenge and Big Brother. These people know how to play a game, but they have never played one like this before. The show is essentially the game Werewolf or Mafia, and when we tell you that this cast is willing to backstab anyone, we aren’t making it up.
While it is in the interest of both the faithfuls and the traitors to earn money for the prize pot, the traitors have the ability to take it all home at the end of the game if they remain alive, rather than splitting it with those left at the end. Each night the traitors will come together a choose a faithful to murder. At the same time, everyone comes together to banish someone who they think is a traitor, but could easily be a faithful.
The Traitors season 2 is already better than the first as it has evolved into an even more difficult game — for both the faithful and the traitors. The cast is so much fun together, and it doesn’t take long for them to start turning on one another and accusing each other. It is always interesting to see how different people handle being put in a situation like this.
Don’t get attached to anyone too quickly, because chances are your favorite won’t make it out alive.
