The official trailer for The Traitors Season 4 has dropped, and fans are buzzing from coast to coast. Peacock released the sneak peek teasing backstabbing, strategy, and celebrity drama. And honestly, it looks like the wildest season yet. The visuals confirm everything we’ve come to love about the show: cloaks, roundtable accusations, and host Alan Cumming ready to delight and terrify in equal measure.
When And Where It Hits Your Screens
Mark your calendars because The Traitors Season 4 officially premieres Thursday, January 8, 2026 exclusively on Peacock.
Peacock isn’t just dropping one episode. They’re kicking off with three episodes on Jan 8 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT. After that, episodes release weekly on Thursdays leading up to the finale and reunion on February 26, 2026.
Streaming only on Peacock means you’ll need a subscription to catch every betrayal as it unfolds. Previous seasons and bonus extras like behind-the-scenes cutaways are also available there.
Host Returns And New Cast CONFIRMED
Emmy winner Alan Cumming is back as your delightfully sinister master of ceremonies. He’ll guide fans and contestants through every twisted twist and emotional explosion this season brings.
The Season 4 cast is huge: 23 players from reality TV, sports, music, and pop culture are set to live together in a Scottish castle and backstab their way toward the prize. Some confirmed names include:
- Lisa Rinna
- Porsha Williams
- Colton Underwood
- Monét X Change
- Johnny Weir
- Tara Lipinski
- Donna Kelce
- Michael Rapaport
- Eric Nam
- Rob Cesternino
…and a mix of other faces ready to form alliances, fake friendships, and send each other packing one roundtable at a time.
Prize, Format, AND Why You Should Care
As usual, the format stays classic but chaotic: contestants are split into Faithfuls and Traitors. Faithfuls must complete group missions to build a prize pot worth up to $250,000, while the Traitors secretly eliminate players each night. Survive long enough, and you could walk away with a victory no one saw coming.
The Traitors combines social poker with psychological warfare. The trailer leans into that vibe big time with ominous lighting, strategic looks, and plenty of raised eyebrows. It’s dramatic, it’s emotional, and it is going to be absolute binge fuel come January.
Fans Are Freaking Out
This season’s buzz comes from two places:
- Celebrity Cast Chaos: Reality royalty and fan favorites mean drama isn’t just possible, it’s guaranteed. The trailer highlights intense interactions and big personalities ready to target one another from Day One.
- Release Strategy: Dropping the first three episodes right away keeps the momentum insane. Fans already plotting game theory are thrilled and terrified at the same time.
The Traitors Season 4 trailer has reality TV fans counting down the days until January 8, 2026 when the game officially begins on Peacock, and trust us, this season looks like a certified stop watching with friends because you will yell at each other kind of ride. Want a breakdown of the trailer beats and what they might mean for game strategy? Just say the word.
