Is ‘The Traitors' returning for season 4? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 23, 2025, 19:57 IST
The U.S. version of this reality TV gem has us all hooked with its mix of sneaky strategy and nail-biting drama. So, the big question on everyone's mind: is The Traitors Season 4 actually happening? We've dug into all the details floating around, from official announcements to fan chatter, to bring you everything we know so far about Season 4—renewal news, possible premiere dates and more. Has The Traitors Season 4 Been Greenlit?
Great news— The Traitors Season 4 is definitely happening! Back in August 2024, Peacock dropped the bombshell that they've greenlit not just Season 4 but also a fifth season. Talk about a win for fans! The show's been a massive hit, even snagging Emmys for Outstanding Reality Competition Program and Outstanding Host for the one-and-only Alan Cumming. When Can We Expect Season 4 to Drop?
Peacock hasn't spilt the beans on an exact premiere date yet, but let's play detective with the show's track record. The past seasons have all kicked off in early January: Season 1 hit screens on January 12, 2023.
Season 2 rolled out on January 12, 2024.
Season 3 landed on January 9, 2025.
If the pattern holds, we'd bet Season 4 will show up around January 2026, probably in the first or second week. Some fans on X, like @TraitorsUSUpdates, mentioned rumors of filming starting in spring 2025, which lines up with that timeline. What's in Store for Season 4?
Specifics on Season 4's format are still under wraps, but the core gameplay—Faithfuls versus Traitors, with nightly 'murders' and tense banishments—will likely stay intact. Season 3 spiced things up with the 'Traitor's Dagger,' allowing Traitors to recruit a Faithful, and X accounts like @TraitorsFanClub are hoping for more twists like that. New challenges or rule tweaks could keep players (and viewers) on their toes. Whatever's coming, it's bound to be a wild ride.

Terry Louise Fisher, a creator of ‘L.A. Law,' dies at 79
She quickly grew disillusioned with a revolving-door criminal justice system that seemed to her to boil down to a jousting match between opposing lawyers, with little regard for guilt or innocence. Advertisement In a 1986 interview with The San Francisco Examiner, she recalled being handed an almost certain victory in an otherwise weak case involving a knife killing because of an oversight by the defense: 'I felt really challenged, and my adrenaline was pumping. I realized I could win this case. And I slept on it. I went, 'My God, has winning become more important than justice?'' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Her unflinching view of the system informed her tenure in television. In 1983, she began writing for 'Cagney & Lacey,' bringing depth and realism to a CBS series that shook up the traditional knuckles-and-nightsticks cop-show genre by focusing on two female New York City police detectives, Christine Cagney (Sharon Gless) and Mary Beth Lacey (Tyne Daly). Advertisement One episode that year drew directly from Ms. Fisher's days as a prosecutor, portraying a dying woman forced to submit to a searing round of questioning by the defense in a rape trial. 'It was the first case I saw at the DA's office,' she said in a 1986 interview with the Los Angeles Times. By portraying the characters not only as savvy crime fighters but also as three-dimensional humans, 'Cagney & Lacey' demonstrated what female companionship looked like, that 'women don't have to compete or be idiots,' Ms. Fisher said in a 1985 interview with The Chicago Tribune, and that it was 'OK for them to fight and still like each other. They're striving for love, work, and friendship, which everyone is striving for.' She also served as a producer on the show and received her first Emmy Award in 1985. In addition to her job as a prosecutor, Ms. Fisher put in time in the slicker end of the law field, working as an entertainment lawyer for film companies including 20th Century Fox, the studio behind 'L.A. Law,' before establishing her career in television. 'L.A. Law' represented a major opportunity: It teamed her up with Bochco, who had upended the television landscape with his provocative 1980s series 'Hill Street Blues,' known for its unvarnished look at the messy realities -- emotional and otherwise -- of a big-city police precinct. On the surface, 'L.A. Law,' with an ensemble cast that included Corbin Bernsen, Jill Eikenberry, Jimmy Smits, and Susan Dey, was the quintessence of 1980s Los Angeles sheen, marked by upscale automobiles, artful coiffures, and a veritable runway of tailored suits and dresses with shoulder pads. Advertisement But to her, style was hardly the point. The show (and Ms. Fisher) won multiple Emmys and ran for eight seasons on NBC. In her view, 'L.A. Law' was something less than a love letter to the juris doctor class -- 'I have to admit I'm not the biggest fan of lawyers,' she told the Los Angeles Times -- and more of a vehicle for pushing the prime-time envelope, tackling thorny issues including abortion, sexual harassment, capital punishment, and AIDS. 'My parents told me they always could tell which scenes I wrote and which ones Bochco wrote,' she recalled. 'They knew I had written the sensitive scenes about the AIDS patient whose lover was dying, and that Bochco had written all that smut about the 'Venus butterfly'' -- a potent, if unspecified, sexual technique that was discussed in a 1986 episode, sparking endless speculation. In fact, she said, Bochco wrote the AIDS scenes in question and 'I did all the smut.' Terry Louise Fisher was born on Feb. 21, 1946, in Chicago, the younger of two children of David and Norma Fisher. Coming of age in the 1950s, she saw 'no positive role models for women on TV except 'Lassie,'' Ms. Fisher joked in a 1987 interview with the Miami Herald. 'Men did all the interesting things, and the women waited for them at home.' After receiving a bachelor's degree from the UCLA, she earned a law degree from the university in 1971 and joined the district attorney's office. During roughly a decade of practicing law, she also published two novels: 'A Class Act' (1976), about a female screenwriter trying to carve out a Hollywood career, and 'Good Behavior' (1979), about a woman who lands in prison after an art heist with her ex-con lover. Wearied by her efforts to sell a third novel, she pivoted to writing for television. Advertisement During her mid-1980s heyday, Ms. Fisher and Bochco also teamed up on an unusually sunny cop show: 'Hooperman' (1987-89), an ABC comedy-drama starring the prince of pratfalls, John Ritter, as a wisecracking San Francisco plainclothes detective. 'I wanted to do something that hasn't been done before,' Ms. Fisher said in a 1988 interview with the Los Angeles Times. 'Just by not starting with the assumption that life is bleak and hopeless, you're bound to have a different show.' Their fertile working relationship, however, soon went off the rails. Bochco fired Ms. Fisher in 1987 following creative and financial disputes, according to the Los Angeles Times. Ms. Fisher fired back with a $50 million breach-of-contract lawsuit, which was settled out of court. The terms were not disclosed. 'It's kind of like a divorce,' she said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times that year. 'You go through a bad period, then you want to remember the good things.' The two patched things up enough to collaborate as writers on the 2002 television film 'L.A. Law: The Movie.' Information about survivors was not immediately available. She tended to be philosophical about the ups and downs of the television business. 'I've always had no problem letting go with projects,' she said in a 1991 interview with the newspaper The Oregonian. 'Creating the world,' she added, 'it's a most godlike feeling. I love it. I get sort of bored once it's all in place.' This article originally appeared in Advertisement

Huda declared 'I'm a mommy' on 'Love Island USA.' The internet reacted in the best way.
"I'm a mommy." Pet moms, nannies and parents of actual human children are all taking to social media to declare that statement, thanks to a now-viral clip from the latest season of "Love Island USA." On the show's June 12 episode, Season 7 cast member Huda Mustafa tells fellow islander Nic Vansteenberghe that she has a 4-year-old daughter. Rather than simply saying that she has a daughter, Mustafa described herself as "a mommy," which seemingly confused Vansteenberghe. The chat, which was subsequently posted to the official "Love Island USA" TikTok, has since gone viral, garnering more than 22 million views and two million likes as of June 23. Mustafa, who is a single mother of a 4-year-old, told the other girl islanders but not the guys about her daughter. After telling Jeremiah Brown, who she was coupled up with at the time, that she has a daughter, Mustafa chose to confide in Vansteenberghe. During the conversation, Vansteenberghe appeared to slowly process the information, leading to the now-viral exchange. "I'm a mommy," Mustafa told Vansteenberghe. "Mommy," he replied. "I'm a mom," she reiterated. "Mamacita," he said. "No, I'm a mommy," she said for a third time. "A mom of what? A dog?" he asked. "I have a daughter," she finally said. "Like in real life?" he asked. "Yeah," she said. "Like a daughter, like a real baby?" he asked. "Yeah, like a human child," she said. People were quick to react to the conversation on social media. "Bye why is he so lost," one person said. Another said, "'mom of what' is fryingggg me." The audio of the conversation has been used on more than 3,000 TikTok videos since. While some — like Demi Lovato and Megan Thee Stallion — have lip-synced over the clip to make new versions, others have taken their own spin on the audio. Pet owners, pregnant women and nannies have declared themselves mommies. The conversation has also been recreated for cakes, songs and artwork. Even Megan Thee Stallion, who entered the villa to host a challenge on the June 19 episode, said the conversation was her favorite moment of the season so far. "Why would Nic be like, 'Mommy? Mamacita?'" she said. "I was like, 'Friend, you good?'" "Love Island USA" Season 7 is currently premiering on Peacock. The show releases a new episode at 9 p.m. EST every day except Wednesday. Saturday night's episode is the "Aftersun" edition, a talk show-style version hosted by Sophie Monk. Melina Khan is a national trending reporter for USA TODAY. She can be reached at
