Million Dollar Secret season 2 cast: Meet the players in "cunning" Netflix series

Netflix is returning with a second season of its juicy cat and mouse reality series, Million Dollar Secret.

Described as "the ultimate game of wit, cunning and deception", Million Dollar Secret follows a group of players as they hunt down and eliminate a mystery millionaire among their ranks.

Like in season 1, the players will travel to The Stag for the chance to win $1 million, which is awarded to one player at the start. But it's not necessarily a good thing to have the prize fund so early on as, throughout the game, the players who didn't receive the money will attempt to expose the millionaire in order to secure the prize for themselves.

Audiences can once more expect alliances and paranoia aplenty, but who are the brave players daring to take part?

Read on to find out more about the cast of Million Dollar Secret season 2.

Altie Holcomb

Age: 55

Location: California

Instagram: @eaglesincali

Heading into the game, Altie planned to lay as low as possible and be as inconspicuous as he could.

"If I was gonna be whacked, I wanted it to be towards the end of the competition," he said ahead of the series.

Daisy

Age: 50

Location: Edina, Minnesota

Instagram: @daisyskarning

Daisy plans to use charm, comedy and wit "in a non-threatening way" to win people over during the game.

"This this 'sweet flower' Daisy, when they are least expecting it, will come in with skills that will kill," she said ahead of the series. "I regret nothing!"

Hunter Call

Age: 25

Location: San Diego

Instagram: @hppunts

Hunter wanted to appear "as the likeable idiot who was a non-threat" to others in the game.

Kaleb Moon

Age: 44

Location: Lead Hill, Arkansas

Instagram: @wkalebmoon

Going into Million Dollar Secret, his game plan is to "fly by the seat of my pants and adapt every second, minute and hour".

Kasey Coffey

Age: 33

Location: Brooklyn, New York

Instagram: @itskaseycoffey

Believing that other players would enter the game "super calculated" and try to "out-strategise each other", Kasey decided to take the opposite approach and focused on connection.

"I led with warmth, built trust early and made my moves before anyone saw me as a threat," she said.

Kat Ellis

Age: 26

Location: Boston, Massachusetts

Instagram: @katellisss

Kat decided to "lay low, become friends with everyone, lose challenges and play into a dumb blonde persona" heading into Million Dollar Secret.

"I really just want to cruise along as a passenger princess for as long as I can until I am forced to take over the drivers seat and start making big game moves," she said.

Kevin Moranz

Age: 26

Location: Topeka, Kansas

Instagram: @kevin.moranz

Kevin entered the game knowing he was an energetic and direct person, but knew it would make him a target.

"My strategy was to come in, lay low and be completely under the radar," he said.

Lauren Gierth

Age: 43

Location: Richland, Washington

Instagram: @laurengierth

Asked of her game plan, Lauren said: "I'm just an innocent mom from the South. You can trust me, tell me all of your secrets, you're safe here. When in reality, I'm writing everything down in my white journal with highlighters, post-its, and a red serial killer tracking string to use later for my own gain. *wink*"

Lauren Tennery

Age: 25

Location: South Lake Tahoe, California

Instagram: @laurentennery

Lauren went into the Chateau as the "sweet, playful yogi", hoping to play in the shadows for as long as she could.

Melissa

Age: 61

Location: Fort Worth, Texas

Instagram: @homewithatwist

"I walked into this game knowing exactly how I wanted to be seen — pleasant, polite, and just a little underestimated," Melissa explained.

She continued: "At 61, I figured I could use that to my advantage. So I created this whole story… divorced cat groomer, nothing too threatening, nothing too memorable. The idea was simple — while everyone else was busy sizing each other up, I’d be quietly paying attention. But bless it… night one, I told on myself.

"I mentioned my husband and daughter back home, and in that moment, I knew my little story wasn’t going to hold. So I made a decision right then — I wasn’t going to keep digging a hole. I let the character go, and from that point on, I just played the game as myself… which, truth be told, can be just as unpredictable."

Natalie Noisom

Age: 29

Location: Miami, Florida

Instagram: @natalie_noisom

Natalie went in with a game plan of playing "big" and trusting her gut while keeping everyone on their toes in the process.

She added: "And maybe bring a little Miami heat when needed, especially at The Stag."

Nick Pellecchia

Age: 27

Location: Mendham, New Jersey

Instagram: @nickypill

Nick fancies his odds at the Stag, and plans to "lead with charisma and make things fun" all while keeping his strategic side hidden.

He said: "Once people feel comfortable and trust me, I’ll use that to quietly take control when it matters."

Tarek Ahmed

Age: 24

Location: Los Angeles, California

Instagram: @tarekupdated

Going into the game, Tarek's plan was to get on everyone's good side so people could let their guard down around him.

Umeko Peterson

Age: 27

Location: Kapolei, Hawaii

Instagram: @umekopeterson

During the game, Umeko used her background as an intelligence analyst, combined with her understanding of social dynamics and psychology to "read behaviour, identify patterns, uncover hidden intentions and adapt how I moved within the game".

She added: "By analysing interactions and emotional cues in real time, I made strategic decisions that helped me build trust, influence dynamics, and position myself effectively in a high pressure environment."
