The Traitors Season 4 Trailer Highlights
The newly released trailer for The Traitors season 4 opens with host Alan Cumming declaring, "The stakes are high and trust is low," setting the tone for the psychological reality competition. Filmed in a foreboding castle, the season promises heightened drama as contestants navigate betrayal and deception for a share of a $250,000 prize.
Cast and Premiere Details
Season 4 features a mix of reality TV veterans and newcomers, including Real Housewives star Lisa Rinna, who vows, "I think I'm gonna play this game in a way that maybe no one's ever played it." Drag queen Monét X Change aims to be "treacherous" and "shady" in her pursuit of victory. The cast also includes Olympians, Survivor alumni, Big Brother houseguests, and comedian Ron Funches.
The season kicks off on Peacock with the first three episodes on Thursday, January 8, 2025, at 9/8c. Two more episodes follow on January 15, then weekly installments lead to the finale and reunion special on February 26, 2025.
Teased Challenges
The trailer showcases terrifying new elements, such as chainsaw-wielding tasks, devilish creatures on the castle grounds, and a fountain spurting what appears to be blood (likely red-dyed water). These additions amplify the "sadistic game" Cumming describes, with contestants donning hoods and drawing knives in the ritualistic selection of Traitors.
This season builds on the show's popularity, blending strategy and suspense in a format inspired by the Dutch series De Verraders. Viewers can watch the full trailer on Peacock to get a glimpse of the intrigue ahead.
