After taking the Emmy for Reality Competition Series and Outstanding Host for a Reality Competition Series last year, “The Traitors” is expected to repeat those wins in September after a massively successful third season earlier this year. In the meantime, Peacock announced that the fourth go-around is currently filming in Scotland. This morning, the emcee of this devious game, Alan Cumming, revealed the new cast which features decidedly less “gamers” than previous seasons.
The contestants battling for a potential cash prize of $250,000 include five Real Housewives, up from four last season, two Olympic Figure skaters, two “Love Island” veterans, two actors, a comedian, a K-pop star, one of the hosts of “Top Chef,” the mom of two famous NFL players and Taylor Swift‘s boyfriend, and, notably, not one alumni of “The Challenge” (stars of that franchise won season two).
The potential traitors and faithfuls are:
- Candiace Dillard Bassett (The Real Housewives of Potomac)
- Caroline Stanbury (The Real Housewives of Dubai)
- Colton Underwood (The Bachelor)
- Donna Kelce (“Mama” Kelce)
- Dorinda Medley (The Real Housewives of New York City)
- Eric Nam (Singer-Songwriter)
- Ian Terry (Big Brother)
- Johnny Weir (Olympic Figure Skater)
- Kristen Kish (Host, Top Chef)
- Rob Cesternino (Survivor)
- Lisa Rinna (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills)
- Mark Ballas (Dancing with the Stars)
- Maura Higgins (Aftersun: Love Island USA)
- Michael Rapaport (Actor)
- Monét X Change (RuPaul’s Drag Race)
- Natalie Anderson (Survivor)
- Porsha Williams (The Real Housewives of Atlanta)
- Rob Rausch (Love Island USA)
- Ron Funches (Comedian)
- Stephen Colletti (One Tree Hill)
- Tara Lipinski (Olympic Figure Skater)
- Tiffany Mitchell (Big Brother)
- Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho (Survivor)
The fourth season of “The Traitors” is currently in production and is expected to air in January 2026.
