The Traitors US Season 4: Full Cast and Elimination Guide
The fourth season of the hit reality competition series The Traitors has arrived on Peacock, bringing with it another ensemble of celebrities and personalities vying for a cash prize of up to $250,000. Hosted by the inimitable Alan Cumming, the show once again pits Faithful against Traitors in a high-stakes game of deception, filmed against the dramatic backdrop of a Scottish castle.
Release Schedule and Game Format
The new season premiered on January 8, 2026, with the first three episodes dropping simultaneously. Subsequent episodes are airing every Thursday night, building towards the finale and reunion special scheduled for release on February 26. The core mechanics remain the same: 23 contestants are divided into two secret factions. The Faithful must work together to identify and banish the hidden Traitors through roundtable discussions, while the Traitors, operating under cover of darkness, 'murder' Faithful contestants one by one. The ultimate prize fund is shared by the Faithful if they eliminate all Traitors, but should any Traitor survive to the end, they claim the entire sum for themselves.
