NBC has revealed the cast for The Traitors: New Blood.

The show, a spinoff of Peacock’s hit competition reality series The Traitors, follows an all-civilian cast instead of celebrities and socialites. Host Alan Cumming will open the doors to the Scottish Highlands castle for 22 everyday Americans who were hand-selected from a nationwide search. He will choose who will play as Traitors and Faithfuls.

The Traitors: New Blood will premiere with a two-hour episode Sept. 17 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and will be available to stream the following day on Peacock. Additional episodes will air on Thursdays.

The Traitors is produced by Studio Lambert. Cumming also serves as an executive producer in addition to Mike Cotton, Sam Rees-Jones, Rosie Franks, Jack Burgess, Stephen Lambert, Tim Harcourt and Doran Azouelos. 

Meet the full cast — with bios provided by NBC — for the show’s first season below.
