Will one of Montgomery County’s own be a Faithful? Or a Traitor?

Gizelle Bryant, one of the original stars of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” will star in the fifth season of Peacock’s Emmy-winning reality competition show “The Traitors,” NBC announced Friday.

“There’s no turning back now,” Bryant, 56, captioned a social media post announcing the cast.

The reality TV murder-mystery series, which won best reality competition program at the Emmy Awards this week, is hosted by actor Alan Cumming and films at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands. The fifth season is scheduled to air in 2027.

Bryant is the third “Potomac” star to join “The Traitors.” Candiace Dillard Bassett served as a Traitor in Season 4, when she went head-to-head with NFL star Travis Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce. Robyn Dixon competed in Season 3.

Bravo announced last week that “The Real Housewives of Potomac” would return for Season 11 on Sunday, Oct. 11, at 8 p.m. Episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
