‘The Traitors’ Season 4 Cast Is ‘Out for Blood’ in First Trailer
Season 4 of The Traitors is less than one month away! With just weeks to go until the premiere, Peacock dropped the first full trailer for the upcoming season, and it shows the cast getting sneaky and deceptive like never before.
The full cast was announced back in June, so fans have been anxiously waiting for more, and it won’t be long before we start seeing how things play out this time around.
The U.S. version of the show premiered in 2023, and there has been one season a year ever since. Like in the past, Season 4 is coming in early January, and will feature a cast of reality stars, athletes, and more. Scroll down for everything we know.
Has The Traitors been renewed for Season 4?
Yes! Peacock announced in August 2024 that The Traitors has been renewed for two more seasons, meaning that there are already a Season 4 and Season 5 in the works. Alan Cumming is set to return as host after winning over viewers by hosting the first three seasons.
Cumming is in a powerful position as the host since he’s the one who gets to decide which players will be traitors and who will be faithfuls. The decision is made at the first roundtable of the season. “It’s incredibly stressful, and I feel I could sort of screw up the entire show in one fell swoop if I got it wrong,” he told Today ahead of the Season 3 premiere.
When does The Traitors Season 4 premiere?
Season 4 of The Traitors premieres on Thursday, January 8, 2026. The first three episodes will drop on the 8th at 9/8c. Two more episodes will come out on Thursday, January 15, 2026, and then there will be weekly drops on Thursdays until the finale/reunion on February 26, 2026.
The show was filmed in June 2025, so it’s been seven months since the cast went on this wild journey.
Who is in The Traitors Season 4 cast?
The cast was announced on June 13. The competitors are: Donna Kelce, Porsha Williams (The Real Housewives of Atlanta), Caroline Stanbury (The Real Housewives of Dubai), Candiace Dillard Bassett (The Real Housewives of Potomac), Lisa Rinna (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills), Dorinda Medley (The Real Housewives of New York), Ian Terry (Big Brother), Tiffany Mitchell (Big Brother), Rob Cesternino (Survivor), Natalie Anderson (Survivor), and Yamil ‘Yam Yam’ Arocho (Survivor), Rob Rausch (Love Island USA), Maura Higgins (Love Island USA), Colton Underwood (The Bachelor), Kristen Kish (Top Chef), Eric Nam, Mark Ballas (Dancing With the Stars), Monét X Change (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Stephen Colletti (Laguna Beach), Michael Rapaport, Johnny Weir, and Tara Lipinski.
Viewers were treated to the cast list for Season 3 in June 2024 — a full six months before the show actually premiered. The casts for Seasons 1 and 2 were announced much closer to the premiere dates, in December 2022 and September 2023, respectively. However, that was before the hype surrounding the show had really intensified among U.S. fans.
Is there a trailer for The Traitors Season 4?
Yes, Peacock revealed the first trailer on December 16, less than one month before the premiere date.
“Backstabbing, betrayal, and murder. A twisted new season of The Traitors is finally here. The prize, a quarter of a million dollars,” Cumming says in the clip.
“I’m going to lie, cheat, do whatever I have to do to win,” Rausch confirms. There’s footage of various challenges throughout the season, and Lipinski wonders, “What did I get myself into?”
Rapaport is in all his glory at the roundtable, telling the rest of the cast, “We are here to capture dirty, deceitful, deceptive traitors.” Of course, there’s also some glory, and there seems to be someone ganging up on the Housewives stars once again.
Who has won The Traitors?
Survivor star Cirie Fields (a traitor) was the Season 1 champion. She betrayed her allies Quentin Jiles and Andie Vanacore at the final roundtable to take home the prize pot of $250,000.

Season 2 was all about The Challenge, as faithfuls Chris “CT” Tamburello and Trishelle Cannatella stuck together to win $208,100.
The faithfuls had another successful stint in Season 3 when Dylan Efron, Gabby Windey, Dolores Catania, and Lord Ivar Mountbatten made it to the final bonfire and chose to split the money.

Way way too many housewives. How about more amazing race people or bachelor people or even vanderpump or Mormon wives. It just to many caddy people who don’t know how to play the game.

They just needed 1 or 2 from the Challenge Past.
Like Sarah Rice, Kara Maria Sorbello, Derek, Zach, Abram, or Tori Deal.

I love this program but after being underwhelmed with the show having all these awful Housewives on it is a total turn off .I am not the only one who feels the same way .
There are far more interesting people .They don’t have to be famous.

Agree 100%. The show is completely ruined by the housewives. Not everyone enjoys that show. You always pick way too many and this bothers many people. They take over the show. Please stop doing this. There are much better choices out there.

I agree. Way too many housewives, especially on this upcoming season. It almost makes me not want to watch it. Why do you need so many? There are plenty of other people who would be better and more fun to watch. I can't stand those women.
-
R
I think it's great!

B
I want to watch the next season now! I can't wait. I love this show. Please try to film more seasons!!! Don't stop filming. We love this show!!!

Too many housewives!

The show will not listen to our complaints. Housewives are not entertaining in any way. Change it up! Get more people from other outlets. There are so many other shows to pull from. This is becoming ridiculous. STOP WITH THE HOUSEWIVES!

Too many housewives. Let's go back to everyday people, not stars.

Too many housewives. Many others to choose from

Omg a twist

This show is being ruined by dumb arse “housewives” contestants. They are boring and just vote everybody who’s non house-ho’s off. I am a bigger fan of Claudia and the UK show. The US show is just a bunch of over inflated, lip injected, Botox wanna-be’s being loud and annoying.
-
B
Please vote Dorinda Off right away . She is too annoying.
-
R
Oh yeah and this season is too stacked with housewives.
-
K
I’m ready for season 5 and 6! Plus new uk, Australia, Canada and so. Bring it on!
-

Love traitors. What a great show. Alan cracks me up. What a great host he is
-

I suggest you look at other country versions like UK celebrity version and Australia series 2

I’m assuming Andy Cohen has a death grip on production.

Excited that the cast has 5 housewives! Grateful there are less survivor and big brother players - strategy ruins this majority social game.
