‘The Traitors’ Season 5 Cast Revealed: Kristin Chenoweth, Chloe Kim and Casey Wilson Join Peacock Hit
Re‘The Traitors’ Season 5 Cast Revealed: Kristin Chenoweth, Chloe Kim and Casey Wilson Join Peacock Hit
Peacock has unveiled the cast for the fifth season of its reality competition series «The Traitors», led by an eclectic mix of actors, athletes, reality stars and content creators including Kristin Chenoweth, Chloe Kim, Casey Wilson and Dominic Monaghan.
Peacock has revealed the cast for the fifth season of its hit reality competition series «The Traitors», assembling a new group of celebrities and public figures who will compete in the show's signature game of deception and detection.
The Season 5 roster spans actors, Olympic athletes, reality television veterans, musicians and online creators. Among the names confirmed are actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth, Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim, actress Casey Wilson, and actor Dominic Monaghan, whose casting quickly became a focus of online search interest following the announcement.
The full cast also includes Bianca Del Rio, the drag performer and «RuPaul's Drag Race» winner; content creator Boman Martinez-Reid; Bronwyn Newport of «The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City»; singer Cody Simpson; and Craig Conover of «Southern Charm». The lineup continues the show's practice of mixing contestants from entertainment, sports and social media in a single competition.
«The Traitors» is hosted by Alan Cumming and has become one of Peacock's most-watched unscripted titles. The format places a group of players in a castle setting where a small number of them are designated as «Traitors» while the rest are «Faithful». Each episode combines missions that add money to a prize pot with roundtable votes in which players attempt to identify and banish the Traitors. Those who survive to the end can claim the prize, but only if the Faithful successfully eliminate the Traitors or the Traitors avoid detection.
The show's appeal has rested heavily on the chemistry and conflict among its casts, which have previously drawn from reality franchises, scripted television, sports and internet culture. Season 5 appears to follow that formula, pairing established Hollywood names with figures whose audiences come from very different corners of entertainment.
For Casey Wilson, the announcement places a familiar comedic performer inside a competition built on suspicion and social strategy. Wilson is known for her work in television comedy, including a run on «Saturday Night Live» and roles in series such as «Happy Endings». Her addition to the cast was among the details driving search interest after the reveal.
Chloe Kim's participation brings an Olympic profile to the group. Kim won gold in snowboard halfpipe at the 2018 Winter Olympics and has remained a prominent figure in action sports. Kristin Chenoweth, a Tony-winning stage and screen performer, adds Broadway and television star power, while Dominic Monaghan is known to audiences for roles in «Lost» and «The Lord of the Rings» films.
The mix also includes Bianca Del Rio, a drag icon with a large following, and Boman Martinez-Reid, a content creator whose casting reflects the show's continued interest in internet-native personalities. Bronwyn Newport, Cody Simpson and Craig Conover round out a group that blends reality television notoriety with music and performance backgrounds.
Peacock has not yet announced a premiere date for Season 5. The cast reveal alone generated immediate attention, with the combination of names giving the series another broad ensemble intended to sustain the mix of strategy, performance and interpersonal drama that has defined the franchise.
The announcement arrives as competition reality programming remains a central part of streaming platforms' unscripted slates. «The Traitors» has become a signature title for Peacock, and each new cast is treated as a major promotional moment. Season 5 will test whether the show's format can continue to produce the kind of standout moments that have made previous seasons a fixture in entertainment coverage.
