With host Alan Cumming set to return to his dramatic Scottish castle, this announcement signals that the game of deception, strategy, and banishment is far from over.
But while we look ahead to the exciting next chapter, now is the absolute perfect time to immerse yourself in the current drama unfolding in Season 3! The stakes are high, the gameplay is intense, and it’s all building towards a thrilling conclusion.
Meet the Star-Studded Cast for the Next Season!
The casting directors for The Traitors are known for pulling from the deepest pools of reality TV talent, and the lineup for Season 4 is no exception. Prepare to see familiar faces alongside unexpected contenders:
Real Housewives Power: Lisa Rinna (Beverly Hills), Candiace Dillard Bassett (Potomac), Porsha Williams (Atlanta), and Caroline Stanbury (Dubai) bring their signature flair for drama.
Bachelor Nation Intrigue: Colton Underwood, known for his controversial journey in The Bachelor before coming out, joins the mix.
Drag Royalty: Monét X Change from RuPaul’s Drag Race is set to bring charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and possibly suspicion to the castle.
Competitive Gaming Icons: Alumni from Survivor (Rob Cesternino, Natalie Anderson, Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho) and Big Brother (Ian Terry, Tiffany Mitchell) are seasoned strategists.
Love Island Bombshells: USA Season 6’s Rob Rausch and UK fan-favorite Maura Higgins add international reality flavor.
Unexpected Legends: Donna Kelce (yes, mom to Travis and Jason Kelce!), Dancing With the Stars‘ Mark Ballas, Laguna Beach‘s Stephen Colletti, and Olympic figure skaters Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski promise unique dynamics.
And More: Top Chef host Kristen Kish, singer-songwriter Eric Nam, and comedian Ron Funches round out this eclectic group.
Adding a layer of complexity, Real Housewives of New York City alum Dorinda Medley is also on the cast list, seeking redemption after her early elimination as a Faithful in the currently airing Season 3.
However, the cast announcement wasn’t without controversy. The inclusion of actor Michael Rapaport has sparked backlash among some fans due to his history of offensive remarks, leading to threats of boycotts. It remains to be seen how this will impact the upcoming season.
Why Catch Up on The Traitors Season 3 NOW?
With the cast for the next season stirring excitement, there’s no better time to dive into the current Season 3, which is unfolding weekly on Peacock. The Traitors, recognized by CNET as one of the best shows on Peacock, masterfully blends strategic gameplay, dramatic challenges, and psychological tension.
The game sees Faithfuls attempting to identify and banish the secret Traitors among them, while the Traitors secretly “murder” Faithfuls each night. A prize pot of up to $250,000 is on the line, which the Faithfuls win if they eliminate all Traitors, or the Traitors steal if any remain at the end.
Season 3 has already delivered significant twists and turns. We’ve seen notable players eliminated, both Faithfuls like Dorinda Medley (who was eliminated early in the season) and Traitors. In a dramatic recent episode, the Faithfuls successfully identified and banished Traitor Bob the Drag Queen. This successful banishment followed strategic maneuvering and keen observation; for instance, Faithful Jeremy Collins (who was later murdered) noted suspicious behavior from Bob after Dorinda’s earlier murder, although he initially dismissed his gut feeling – a prime example of the game’s intense psychological pressure.
The competition is heating up with the remaining players, including Dolores Catania, Dylan Efron, Britney Haynes, Lord Ivar Mountbatten, Danielle Reyes, Tom Sandoval, and Gabby Windey, navigating alliances and suspicions as the finale approaches.
Don’t Miss a Moment on Peacock
New episodes of The Traitors* Season 3 premiere every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on Peacock. The tension is building rapidly towards the dramatic Season 3 finale and a subsequent reunion special, both scheduled to stream on Thursday, March 6th, 2025.
Whether you’re eager to see how the current season concludes or want to binge Seasons 1 and 2 to understand the game (and witness past victors like Traitor Cirie Fields or Faithfuls CT Tamburello and Trishelle Cannatella claim the prize), all previous episodes are currently available for streaming on Peacock.
