The Traitors adds Kate Chastain and Will Kirby to season 2 cast in different roles

The "Below Deck" star is back to compete for the loot while the "Big Brother" legend will be a special guest.

She’s baaaaaaaaack.

Kate Chastain stirred up plenty of trouble as a Faithful during her season 1 stint on Peacock’s The Traitors, but it did not stop her from nearly making it to the very end. The Below Deck star was the last person to be banished from the group, just missing out for a chance at the prize money — which Survivor star Cirie Fields ultimately won.

Well, now Chastain will be returning to the Scottish castle for another shot at the loot when she joins the cast of season 2, news first reported by PEOPLE. It is unclear if she will be designated a Faithful or a Traitor, but Chastain will be making her first appearance in episode 5, which begins streaming on Jan. 25.

Does her addition to the show already in progress mean she will replace a Traitor who will be banished? Only host Alan Cumming and his fabulously delicious ensembles know for now.

But Chastain is not the only famous reality TV face that will be heading over to Scotland in the series — which just dropped its first three episodes on Jan. 12. Big Brother legend Will Kirby (also known as Dr. Will and the Evil Doctor) will also join the show as a “surprise guest.”

Kirby won season 2 of Big Brother in 2001 and then returned for the first Big Brother: All-Stars (season 7). He and current Traitors cast member Dan Gheesling are widely regarded as the two best players to ever compete on Big Brother.

One of Kirby’s most famous moments occurred during Big Brother: All-Stars when he made a speech while nominated for eviction, telling the houseguests how much he hated all of them while threatening to throw every single competition to “ensure as best I can that we are all on slop” unless they all voted him out. The reverse-psychology gambit worked, and he remained in the game. (Watch the speech below.)

While no date has been given for Kirby’s appearance, sources tell EW that he will be making a very dramatic entrance and it could lead to appearances in future seasons.

In the meantime, we will keep our eyes glued to the screen in anticipation of Cumming’s various outlandish outfits and to see who else will be the victim of… MURRRRRRRRRRRDER!
