10 Celebrities We Want to See in ‘The Traitors’ Season 5 on Peacock

With the conclusion of The Traitors Season 4, our thoughts eagerly turn to what Season 5 might bring, particularly in terms of its cast.

Alan Cumming’s storied Scottish castle has played host to an array of notable personalities over the years, and Season 5 promises to be no exception. However, a few tweaks could enhance the upcoming season. Is it necessary to include five members from the Real Housewives franchises? Probably not. While it’s important to maintain some representation, perhaps a balanced approach would be more effective.

Reflecting on the fourth season — which featured arguably one of the most bewildered groups of Faithfuls yet — it’s clear that casting participants who are already acquainted with each other can offer unique advantages. Despite Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir often appearing lost, their dynamic was undeniably entertaining. This suggests potential for an entire season focusing on TV or movie casts, challenging them to reassess their understanding of one another.

Until Peacock considers a special edition featuring full Hollywood casts (Peacock, let’s discuss this idea), we’ve curated a list of 10 individuals we hope to see in the next season of The Traitors.

Continue reading to discover our picks for who should navigate the thrilling twists of The Traitors Season 5.

• Ariana Madix

  Why is it that despite hosting another Peacock series, a.k.a Love Island USA, Ariana Madix has yet to snag a spot in a season of The Traitors? Maybe she’s been offered a spot already, but knowing that she can deliver a comeback like it’s no ones business and wear the hell out of any outfit, we think she should be No. 1 on the invite list for this upcoming season.

• Ezra Sosa and Rylee Arnold

  Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski being in the castle together proved that even when they have absolutely no idea what they are doing, besties trying to navigate The Traitors castle is one hell of a fun watch. Add in Gen Z, TikTok-adled brainrot that you find with Ezra Sosa and Rylee Arnold and you have even more to look forward to.

• Amanda Batula

  New chapter, new TV show. Amid her separation from Summer House costar Kyle Cooke — who played The Traitors back in Season 1 — it only feels right that Amanda Batula now get the chance to win a quarter of a million dollars. And hey, after pretending for so long that she’s been fine even though she is clearly not, she would absolutely kill it as a Traitor!

• Jessi Draper

  Truth be told, we’d be happy with pretty much any of the Mormon wives entering the castle — Whitney Leavitt’s name gets thrown around a lot but she’s got bigger tap shoes to fill at the moment — but given that filming would take place in Scotland, comfortably taking Jessi Draper away from Jordan for even a small chunk of time, we’re choosing her.

• Robert Irwin

  Wouldn’t it be so delectable if Robert Irwin had a heel turn to the dark side and played the game as a Traitor? Could he do it? I have serious doubts. But I do kind of think it would be amazing watching him struggle through having to murder his fellow players and it would make for a hilarious crash out on television. Faithful is fine, too, I guess.

• Jason and Kylie Kelce

  Put more couples in the castle, you cowards! I want to see people who think they know each other — or have four daughters together in the case of Jason and Kylie Kelce — have to look at their spouse and question everything. Plus, these two would just have a blast and it’s a vacation from the kiddos, at the very least.

• Ilona Maher

  Everything Ilona Maher does, she does well and gains a new fanbase from. Let’s let her expand her fanbase once again with The Traitors Season 5. Considering that her iconic “Been better, Carrie Ann” line from DWTS comes out of my mouth, you know she’s also going to deliver some incredible moments.

• Christian Hubicki

  Anyone who is watching Survivor 50 knows that Christian Hubicki is one of the best parts of the show. Sweet, smart, and surprisingly funny, Hubicki’s mathematical brain could play chess in The Traitors‘ castle, as either a Faithful or a Traitor.
