The Traitors Season 4 Cast
The Traitors US season 4 brings back host Alan Cumming and features a cast drawn from shows like Survivor, Big Brother, The Bachelor, Love Island, Top Chef, Real Housewives, RuPaul’s Drag Race, and more. That means the game starts with people who already know how to scheme on camera, which should make the “Faithful vs Traitors” mind games feel sharper from day one.
Reality TV News/Updates, posting as @Realitytv__fan on X, highlighted that the official cast photos for The Traitors US season 4 have been released ahead of the January 8 Peacock premiere, adding extra buzz around the new line-up.
Some of the standout names include:
-
Donna Kelce – the mother of NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, stepping into the castle instead of the stadium spotlight.
-
Michael Rapaport – actor and long‑time reality TV commentator, now actually in the game instead of just talking about it.
-
Colton Underwood – known from The Bachelor, bringing that “who can be trusted?” energy into a much darker format.
-
Reality strategy pros like Rob Cesternino and Yam Yam Arocho from Survivor, plus Natalie Anderson with experience in Survivor and The Amazing Race.
-
Big Brother players Ian Terry and Tiffany Mitchell, used to long games and social tension.
-
Other familiar faces such as Mark Ballas (Dancing with the Stars), Monét X Change (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Kristen Kish (Top Chef), Maura Higgins and Robert Rausch from Love Island, and Housewives stars like Porsha Williams, Dorinda Medley, Caroline Stanbury, and others.
The overall feeling is that this is not a low‑key season; it is built around recognisable personalities who already understand fan expectations and online reaction, which usually leads to bolder moves and, sometimes, surprisingly emotional exits.

About The Traitors Season 4
The Traitors season 4 continues the same core format: a group of “Faithful” and secretly chosen “Traitors” live together in a remote castle, complete missions to build a prize pot, and try to either expose or protect the hidden traitors. The prize fund can reach up to a substantial cash amount (Peacock highlights a pot of up to 250,000 dollars), but only the players still standing at the end get a share.
The tone of the show stays very psychological, mixing dramatic banishments at the round table with tense “murders” overnight, all framed by Alan Cumming’s theatrical hosting style. Season 4 leans further into bringing together people with strong fanbases and game backgrounds, so viewers can expect more layered strategies, pre‑existing reputations in the room, and plenty of second‑guessing after every vote and every nervous glance at breakfast.
