The Traitors (American TV series) season 4
8ms
Get ready, because the game is about to get a whole lot more intense. The fourth season of the American television series, *The Traitors*, has officially been announced, and mark your calendars for January 8, 2026, because that's when the deception, the suspicion, and the drama will begin.
Filming once again takes us to the breathtaking, and perhaps a little ominous, Ardross Castle in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. It's the perfect backdrop for the mind games that are about to unfold.
And who will be brave, or perhaps foolish, enough to step into the viper's nest this time? Just like seasons past, expect a cast brimming with familiar faces – reality show stars and public figures alike, all vying for the ultimate prize. Peacock revealed all 23 original contestants on June 13, 2025, and the speculation has been rampant ever since.
But this season introduces a twist that will send shivers down your spine. In the very first episode, host Alan Cumming dropped a bombshell: there's not just one, but a *Secret Traitor* among them. This individual's identity is hidden from everyone, even the other Traitors, and each night, they'll be whispering names, deciding who gets a one-way ticket out of the game. The only way you'll know who's a Faithful is if they *don't* make that murder shortlist, or if they're banished. Speaking of banishment, the first Secret Traitor was revealed in episode 3, and her name was Donna. But with one gone, who will step into the shadows next? The alliances will shift, the betrayals will cut deep, and the truth will be harder to find than ever before.
The fourth season of the American television series The Traitors was announced on August 14, 2024. The season premiered on January 8, 2026.
== Production ==
Similar to the previous seasons, primary filming takes place in Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
== Contestants ==
Similar to the second and third seasons, this season's cast was composed entirely of reality show participants and public figures. Peacock announced the 23 original cast members via social media on June 13, 2025.
In the first episode, Cumming revealed that one contestant would be selected as a "Secret Traitor", whose identity would be hidden from both the audience and the regular Traitors. Each night, they would provide the Traitors with a shortlist of Faithful to murder. Contestants were therefore only initially identified as Faithful by appearing on murder shortlists selected by the Secret Traitor, or after being banished. In episode 3, the Secret Traitor was revealed to be Donna after she was banished.
