“The Traitors” season 4 returns with 23 familiar faces heading back to the Scottish castle, where strategy, secrecy, and shifting alliances once again decide who walks away with the prize. Let’s break down the cast.
‘The Traitors’ Season 4 Cast: Who’s Entering the Castle
Natalie Anderson joins the cast after winning “Survivor: San Juan del Sur” and later competing on “Survivor: Winners at War.” She also appeared on “The Amazing Race” alongside her twin sister, Nadiya Anderson. Another “Survivor” winner, Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho, enters the game after winning season 44 and has previously cited studying past champions to shape his strategy.
Competition experience continues with Mark Ballas, a three-time winner of “Dancing With the Stars,” and Rob Cesternino, who competed on “Survivor: The Amazon” and “Survivor: All-Stars” before becoming a longtime analyst and host of the podcast “Rob Has a Podcast.”
Bravo viewers will recognize Lisa Rinna from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” Porsha Williams from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” Dorinda Medley from “The Real Housewives of New York City,” Candiace Dillard Bassett from “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” and Caroline Stanbury from “The Real Housewives of Dubai.” Medley returns after being eliminated early in season 3, making her the only contestant to get another shot at the game.
The cast also includes Donna Kelce, mother of NFL players Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce, Olympic figure skaters Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir, “Big Brother” winners Ian Terry and Tiffany Mitchell, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” winner Monét X Change, “Top Chef” champion Kristen Kish, actor Stephen Colletti from “Laguna Beach” and “One Tree Hill,” comedian Ron Funches, singer Eric Nam, actor Michael Rapaport, “Love Island USA” alum Rob Rausch, and former “Bachelor” Colton Underwood.
How the Game Works on ‘The Traitors’
“The Traitors” divides contestants into two secret groups: Faithfuls and Traitors. While all players work together during missions to build a prize pot that can reach $250,000, the Traitors secretly eliminate Faithfuls under the cover of night.
Each episode ends with a roundtable, where players vote to banish someone they believe is a Traitor. If the Faithfuls eliminate all Traitors, they split the prize. If a Traitor makes it to the end, that player claims the entire pot.
Host Alan Cumming returns for his fourth season, setting the tone in the season 4 teaser. “Ah dear me, what treachery awaits us this season?” he says. “The cards never lie — people, on the other hand, constantly.”
Season 4 of “The Traitors” streams exclusively on Peacock. Episodes 1-3 drop on January 8 at 9pm EST. New episodes will follow every Thursday.
Viewers can also watch the first three seasons of the U.S. series, along with “The Traitors UK” and “The Traitors Australia,” on the platform.
