The fourth season of the American television series The Traitors was announced on August 14, 2024.^[1] The season premiered on January 8, 2026.^[2]

Production

Similar to the previous seasons, primary filming takes place in Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands.^[3]

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.^[4]

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.

Notes

1 2 The Secret Traitor shortlisted these contestants for murder. The Traitors could only select one of these to be murder during the night.
↑ In the daily mission, the contestants paired up and had to choose one to be caged while the other attempted to free them. Any remaining caged contestant was shortlisted for murder. As Ron did not have a partner, he was shortlisted by default.
↑ The Traitors were tasked to murder one of the Secret Traitor's shortlist in plain sight, by burning one of the faithful's cards in the fireplace inside the breakfast room. If successful, they would be able to meet the Secret Traitor face-to-face the following night. Although the Traitors were successful in their mission, Donna was banished and revealed as the Secret Traitor before their appointed meeting.
