Meet the Cast of 'The Traitors' Season 4

After a long year, The Traitors season 4 is finally back with a new installment of scheming, backstabbing, and epic Alan Cumming outfits. Since it rose to pop-cultural dominance in early 2024, Peacock's take on the Mafia-style competition has become must-watch viewing for reality TV fans. Where else can you see over 20 of your favorite reality stars from across networks and franchises gather in a Scottish castle to compete in a massive mind game for up to $250,000?

Four years in, The Traitors US has found the formula for a buzz-worthy celebrity cast. Season 4's roster includes legendary Gamers from Survivor and Big Brother; several long-running Real Housewives; some dating-show heartthrobs; and literal Olympians. Based on the three-episode January 8 premiere, viewers are set for a season of shifting alliances and explosive drama. Below, read on for everything to know about the cast of The Traitors season 4.
