“The Traitors,” Peacock’s breakout reality hit, is the newest inductee to this late bloomers club, a Scotland-set murder mystery competition hosted by international delight Alan Cumming. You might have heard about its first season last year and shrugged it off, assuming that if you’ve seen one of these shows, this can’t be much different.
Half of its contestants were normies, half reality show alumni, and somewhat predictably, a “Survivor” contestant won it all. For its second go-round, the producers took notes and leveled up. This cast is a murderer’s row of reality all-stars whose egos overrule good sense. Almost everybody has watched at least some of each other’s shows or has shared a season with someone.
