Meet the Cast of 'Million Dollar Secret' Season 2
Netflix's answer to 'The Traitors' is back for another game of deception.
Netflix's reality series Million Dollar Secret is back for a new dose of pulse-pounding social gameplay. The streaming giant's answer to The Traitors debuted last year as a brand-new competition in which ordinary people investigate and deceive each other in hopes of walking away with a million dollars.
For anyone who missed season 1, Million Dollar Secret host Peter Serafinowicz invites 12 everyday people to a gorgeous lakeside mansion, and gifts one unlucky player $1,000,000 in cash. That player now has a target on their back, as the others try to root out and eliminate the millionaire. At the end of this expensive game of hot potato, whoever has the money walks away with the life-changing fortune. (For example, see season 1's winner, former In-n-Out line cook Cara Kies.)
The Million Dollar Secret season 2 cast at an elimination dinner.
According to Tudum, the series has gathered another group of aspiring masterminds from across the U.S. Will this year's winner be the shrewd Miami pageant boy, the stay-at-home mom and town gossip, the military vets flying under the radar, or someone else we'll least expect? With the season finale out on April 29, read on for everything to know about the Million Dollar Secret cast—including where to follow them after the show.
