The cast for The Traitors Season 3 was announced on June 5, 2024, on the official Peacock YouTube channel. The announcement had host Alan Cumming reading a “distinguished roster” of famous reality TV faces as well as some wilder entries who are set to star in the third installment of the popular reality competition show.
