After winning the Outstanding Reality Competition Emmy in September for its second season, The Traitors is back with a new batch of contestants — including Real Housewives Dorinda Medley and Robyn Dixon, Selling Sunset's Chrishell Stause, Vanderpump Rules' Tom Sandoval, and Survivor's Rob Mariano and Carolyn Wiger (see the full cast list here) — hoping to figure out who's faithful and who's not.

Also on TV: The Rookie returns for a new season; the One Chicago franchise, Abbott Elementary, High Potential, and The Irrational are back with their winter premieres; Noah Wyle is back in doctor mode for the new series The Pitt, and a reboot of Hollywood Squares debut.

Plus, Pamela Anderson is a Golden Globe nominee and in the Oscar conversation for her performance in The Last Showgirl, which expands to theaters nationwide, as does the Robbie Williams biopic Better Man. And the Den of Thieves sequel Pantera opens in theaters.
