Celebrity Traitors is back for a second series on the BBC with a whole new cast, including Myha'la.
The Industry star is joining 20 other celebrities for a chance to win a cash prize of up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
Here is everything to know about the actress as she prepares to enter the iconic Ardross Castle.
Who is Myha'la?
Myha’la Herrold, professionally known as Myha’la, is an American actress.
She graduated from Archbishop Mitty High School in 2014 before earning a degree from Carnegie Mellon’s School of Drama in 2018.
Her early career focused on theatre, including a touring role as Nabulungi in The Book of Mormon in 2017.
She later made appearances in film and television, including a role in the 2019 indie film Premature and an episode of Modern Love.
Myha’la is best known for playing Harper Stern in the financial drama series Industry, a role she began in 2020.
In 2023, she starred in the Black Mirror episode Loch Henry and has also featured in films such as Leave the World Behind, Swiped, Dead Man’s Wire, and They Will Kill You.
She married Armando Rivera in 2025.
What has Myha'la said about being on Celebrity Traitors?
Speaking about her involvement in Celebrity Traitors, Myha’la said it had been her "dream" to take part and addressed how viewers might perceive her because of her role in Industry.
She said: "I am nothing like Harper.
"I'm more of a kill-them-with-kindness kind of girl rather than a blatantly bullish bulldog.
"I'll be interested to see how this one goes because I feel like I will be battling Harper's persona and the perception of her."
The actress was also clear about her preferred role on the show.
She said: "All that said, I want to be a Traitor.
"Obviously."
When asked why, she explained: "For a lot of reasons, but one because I want to stay in the game as long as possible.
"And two because I think as a Faithful, this is going to be really hard for me.
"I've studied it enough to know that people like me who come in as super fans are seen as huge threats and once you're a threat, it doesn't matter who you are, people are going to target you.
"As a Traitor at least I'll stay in the game long enough to prove myself a bit."
