The Traitors is one of the best reality shows on TV, and it's just getting started. Here's when you can expect The Traitors Season 4 to release, as well as where to watch it, and what any format changes could look like.
If you haven't managed to catch it yet, The Traitors is a TV-friendly take on the popular party game Mafia (also known as Werewolf). Players are assigned roles, whether traitor or faithful, and seek to eliminate the other team by plotting, collaborating, and backstabbing. Each night, there's a meeting to vote out one player suspected of being a traitor - and this is where the fireworks happen.
Premiering in January 2023, The Traitors has gone on to widespread acclaim, even winning Emmys for Outstanding Reality Competition Program and Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program (Alan Cumming on cunning form).
