“The Traitors” unveils a fresh lineup of stars set to embark on a murder mystery adventure. The announcement of the cast for the fifth season of the acclaimed reality competition series was made on Friday, introducing a mix of celebrities and reality TV personalities who will gather in the castle with a single rule in mind: trust no one.
Among the notable figures featured this season are singer Cody Simpson, Whitney Leavitt from “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” Real Housewife Gizelle Bryant, and actor/singer Kristin Chenoweth. The diverse lineup also includes Canadian talent.
