The AnonymousMeet the cast of new reality show
Published on December 13, 2025 EDT Contestants include a "Big Brother" winner, "Australian Survivor" legend, and a breakout star from Netflix's Fyre Fest documentary.

Deception has entered the chat!

New reality series The Anonymous is like The Traitors meets The Circle, and Entertainment Weekly has your exclusive first look at the trailer, the premiere date, and the full cast list of everyone taking on the unique blend of in-person and virtual gameplay for the prize of $100,000.

Three familiar faces are among the cast of mostly civilians: Big Brother 23 winner and The Challenge: USA alum Xavier E. Prather; Australian Survivor alum (and daughter of two-time U.S. Survivor winner Sandra Diaz-Twine) Nina Twine; and Fyre Festival event producer/breakout star from Netflix's documentary about the disaster Andy King, who went viral for saying he was "fully prepared" to perform oral sex in exchange for not paying customs $175,000 for water bottles.

From the makers of The Traitors, The Circle, and Squid Game: The Challenge comes USA Network's new social competition series that pits 12 players against each other to manipulate, mislead, and do whatever it takes to be popular among their opponents in the real world while secretly betraying and backstabbing them in "anonymous mode," which is played in the Digital Anonymous Networking Interface, a.k.a. DANI. Each player has their own private underground hideout where they are completely anonymous and can say anything they want about their opponents behind the mask of a unique handle. The question is: Can they stay anonymous while doing so, or will the other players guess their identity?

Every episode, DANI conducts tests where all contestants must try and match players to their handles, and the player who is best at staying anonymous earns the power to eliminate their competitors. In the end, only one player will take home the grand prize.
