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.

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty What do you get when you drop two of reality TV's most iconic Black women into a Scottish castle full of backstabbers, liars, and hidden agendas? A whole lot of drama, high fashion, and edge-snatching entertainment. Porsha Williams and Candiace Dillard Bassett are officially cast in Peacock's The Traitors Season 4—and reality TV fans are already placing bets. With past Real Housewives like Phaedra Parks making unforgettable appearances in earlier seasons, it's clear that Bravo stars know how to thrive in a game built on strategy, suspicion, and shade. So get ready for the twists and turns now. Porsha Williams Joins Traitors As She Continues As A Fan Favorite On The Real Housewives of Atlanta Porsha is no stranger to making reality TV gold. Fresh off her fiery return to the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 13, she has unfinished business and a storyline that's sizzling. Between her rocky relationship with ex-Simon Guobadia and potential fallout with bestie Shamea Morton, Porsha has shown she's a master at navigating tense dynamics. These skills will come in handy on The Traitors. Plus, she's not just a queen of shade—she's a certified beauty boss and mom. No one works a camera moment better than the Go Naked Hair entrepreneur – she stays ready. On Instagram, sis made it clear: she's coming for 'each and every one' of her castmates. You've been warned. RHOP Alum Candiace Dillard Bassett Returns To Reality TV With The Traitors Source: Alberto Rodriguez / Getty Then there's Candiace, the Real Housewives of Potomac alum who has gracefully pivoted into her soft girl mommy era while keeping a mic, camera, and glam squad close. After leaving RHOP to focus on family and her music, she's back in the spotlight with her signature 'nice-nasty' charm. Don't let the new mom vibes fool you, though. Candiace is always ready with a clapback, a confessional read, or a vocal run that brings down the house. She's smart, observant, and a little petty, just the right combo for a game of deception. The Traitors Returns To Peacock Hosted by Alan Cumming, The Traitors takes place in a Scottish castle where celebs compete in missions while secretly eliminating each other. Think Clue, but with more sequins, side-eyes, and secret alliances. This season's cast is stacked with names like Tiffany Mitchell, Monet X Change, and Tara Lapinski. But let's be real—our eyes are on Porsha and Candiace. Filming is currently underway.

Michael Rapaport casting in Traitors Season 4 draws backlash over controversial past
Peacock's announcement of The Traitors Season 4 cast has sparked backlash, particularly over the inclusion of actor and comedian Michael Rapaport. While the show is known for bringing together an eclectic group of celebrities, many fans have voiced concern about Rapaport's past controversial remarks. Rapaport is among 23 stars confirmed for the upcoming season. However, his addition has not been well received by viewers due to his history of using racially charged language and sharing far-right commentary on social media. Social media users quickly expressed disappointment. One post read, 'Amazing Traitors cast sans Michael Rapaport. He's a piece of sh*t and it's extremely annoying that Bravo and Peacock keep giving him a platform.' Another user wrote, 'Peacock and NBC continuing to platform Michael Rapaport as he spews bigoted hateful ideology is so dangerous. I desperately need him to be the first murder.' Despite the backlash, some cast choices have been praised. The season will feature five Real Housewives stars, including Dorinda Medley, and several prominent LGBTQ+ personalities such as Monet X Change, Kristen Kish, and Johnny Weir. Still, fan criticism of Rapaport continues to dominate the online conversation. Comments like 'Traitor or not, banish Michael Rapaport first,' reflect a widespread desire for his early exit from the show. The Traitors has enjoyed popularity and acclaim, but Rapaport's casting has introduced a contentious note heading into Season 4. With fan backlash mounting, Rapaport's future on the show — or in any future seasons — remains uncertain. The Traitors Season 4 is expected to premiere on Peacock in 2026.
