Season 3 of The Traitors came to a close in March, and it didn’t hold back on the drama.
Based on the Danish ‘De Verraders’ format, the show has taken American audiences by storm. All three seasons have been wildly popular, with the atmosphere of the Scottish castle and the backstabbing contestants captivating the nation.
But will The Traitors US return for more? Here’s what we know. You can also read up on 5 ways The Traitors UK could be improved for season 4, and everything we know about the celebrity edition of the UK Traitors.
Has The Traitors US been renewed for season 4?
Yes! Peacock has confirmed that The Traitors US will return for not just season 4, but season 5 as well. That means we’ll be getting the reality competition until 2027 at the least.
Fans will also be pleased to hear that Alan Cumming will return to host, presumably along with a whole collection of iconic outfits like the one below.

When could The Traitors US season 4 be released?
Peacock hasn’t confirmed when The Traitors US season 4 will be released. However, previous instalments hit the service in early January, so we’d expect to see it to be released in January 2026.
For season 3, UK viewers had to wait a few weeks for the new episodes to drop, so this may also be the case for season 4.
What will season 4 of The Traitors US be about?
We expect the show’s core formula will remain the same. An old castle in the Scottish Highlands will bring together contestants to compete for a cash prize – likely $250,000. Before they get it, however, they will have to face various physical and intellectual challenges to build up the pot.
Adding to the difficulty is that several ‘traitors’ are hiding in the team and plotting against the ‘faithfuls’ to take their money. Each night, the villains will choose a person to murder and be removed from the programme. The group must deduce who the potential traitor might be and decide to banish that participant.
We expect that this season will feature celebrities exclusively, just as the last two instalments have. Of course, we’re expecting to see some brand-new challenges and some more twists to keep the game fresh.

Who are the contestants on The Traitors US season 4?
Peacock has yet to announce which celebrities will compete in 2026 – we’ll update this article as soon as we know more.
Is there a trailer for The Traitors US season 4?
Not yet. As far as we know, filming hasn’t yet begun, so a trailer probably won’t be released until much later this year.
