Peacock’s fourth season of The Traitors is coming, and the new cast has slowly released details about the Emmy Award-winning competition series. The US version was spun from the British version in 2022 and has shifted gears from season 1. The series first featured a cast filled with normal people before transitioning to a celebrity-only cast. The Traitors has been incredibly successful and continues to top itself season after season. Presented by actor Alan Cumming, the competition series sets out to seek out the traitors in a group of faithfuls with a series of missions, round tables, and prompts. After a strong season 3, season 4 is approaching in the new year. The Traitors Season 4 Latest News While fans await the release date of season 4 of The Traitors, NBC revealed more news for the fan base to be excited about: the network is hosting a spinoff where the cast will consist of normal people, not celebrities. Alan Cumming will continue as host of both the celebrity version and the civilian version. Because of the cash reward at the end of the competition, the money will mean more to the non-celebrities. Working smarter instead of harder will have a whole new meaning to the spinoff. Season 4 Of The Traitors Was Renewed In August 2024 In August 2024, Peacock announced that The Traitors was greenlit for two more seasons (seasons 4 and 5). The renewal came before the third season even premiered, showing how much the network trusts the series to succeed. Beloved actor Alan Cumming, is also signed on through the renewal as the show’s host. The renewal didn’t come as a surprise, given that season two earned four Emmy nominations and was one of the best-performing reality series across all streaming platforms. The Production Status Of The Traitors Season 4 The cast of faithfuls and traitors flew to the infamous Scottish castle, Ardross Castle, to start filming the series in June 2025. The series wrapped filming over the summer, but there's no definite release date as of this article's publication. It's been noted by the fandom how emotional the cast is when deciding who's a faithful or a traitor, and it's because the crew films incredibly long hours for two to four weeks. Filming 12- to 16-hour workdays is draining, forcing emotional decision-making and lackluster physical abilities. The Traitors Season 4 Cast Revealed It's hard to do, but Peacock keeps outdoing itself and finding the perfect set of famous faces to compete for The Traitors. Bachelor Nation’s Gabby Windey was a standout in season 3 alongside the ever-charming Dylan Efron (brother of Zac Efron), and it looks like season 4 has yet again compiled the perfect cast of notable figures. In June 2025, Peacock confirmed its season 4 cast: Lisa Rinna (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills), Natalie Anderson (The Amazing Race), Michael Rapaport (actor), Rob Rausch (Love Island), Porsha Williams (The Real Housewives of Atlanta), Monét X Change (RuPaul's Drag Race), Mark Ballas (Dancing With the Stars), Donna Kelce (mother of Travis Kelce), Kristen Kish (Top Chef), Dorinda Medley (The Real Housewives of New York), Tara Lipinski (Olympic figure skater), Colton Underwood (The Bachelorette), Eric Nam (singer), Stephen Colletti (One Tree Hill), Candiace Dillard-Bassett (The Real Housewives of Potoac), Rob Cesternino (Suvivor), Maura Higgins (Love Island), Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho (Survivor), Ian Terry (Big Brother), Johnny Weir (Olympic figure skater), Ron Funches (comedian), Caroline Stanbury (The Real Housewives of Dubai), and Tiffany Mitchell (WNBA player). The cast is a mix of celebrities from the Bravo universe, Love Island, Survivor, athletes, and beyond. In the past, cast members from Survivor, The Challenge, The Real Housewives, and The Bachelor have taken home the title and money. The Traitors Season 4 Plot Details The Traitors cast has done a great job of keeping mum on season 4 details. However, a few cast members have shared their experiences. Lisa Rinna (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) told Entertainment Tonight that she went into the series blind and without a strategy. While she enjoyed the competition series, she admitted it took her outside of her comfort zone. “That’s what’s so great about the game. It's not toxic. It’s not negative. It’s not dark. It’s a game... It’s hard though.” Likewise, host of Love Island: Aftersun shared her experience on The Traitors with NBC Insider. "As much as Love Island had its challenges, living in that environment, navigating relationships, and constantly being on camera, I think The Traitors was more demanding ... Love Island is light-hearted and playful in many ways, but The Traitors pushes you into a space where every move matters." It's been discussed in depth how different mentalities can work for or against a cast member of The Traitors. Those who have been on competition-based reality TV series like Survivor or Road Rules have different technical mindsets to win compared to those who have been on The Real Housewives or are in the public eye. In August 2025, host Alan Cumming shared a shocking revelation with E! News, sharing that halfway through the season, the "greatest moment in Traitors' history" occurred. While the series has had its shocking moments in the past, Cummin declared season 4 is "brilliant" and "utter carnage." The Traitors Season 4 Does Not Have An Official Trailer (Yet) As of this article's publishing, there is no official trailer yet. However, Peacock released a cast teaser for season 4, showing the cast and what they're known for. Alan Cumming can be seen in the Scottish castle talking out loud about the season's treachery and betrayal. "The cards never lie. People, on the other hand, constantly." Based on prior seasons, it's expected that the trailer will drop at the end of 2025, and the new season will allegedly release in early 2026.
