The Traitors is back for another season filled with a star-studded cast.
The game of deception first announced its season four cast in June 2025, while the hit Peacock series was in production in Scotland. The first three episodes of the new season were made available to watch January 8 at 9 p.m. ET. Subsequent episodes will also air Thursday nights, with the show’s finale and reunion being released February 26.
Similar to the previous three seasons, the show — hosted by Alan Cumming — has 23 personalities (divided into groups labeled Faithful and Traitors) compete in a series of challenges in order to win a cash prize of up to $250,000. “Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree, while the Faithful try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game,” according to the show’s official synopsis. “If the Faithful contestants banish all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if a Traitor or Traitors makes it to the end, they will steal all the money.”
Here, find the full cast of The Traitors season 4, along with how they fared on the show.
