The fourth installment of The Traitors will be here before you know it and—to quote Ayo Edebiri—I’m simply too seated. The Peacock series—which is based on a Dutch series and has sibling counterparts in the UK, Australia, France, Canada, Sweden, Spain, Russia, Germany, Hungary, New Zealand, Ireland, and Greece, among others—had some pretty wild twists and turns during season 3...and while we don’t know everything that’s planned for season 4 of The Traitors yet, here is what we do know about the new season.

When does The Traitors season 4 premiere?

We’ve got a release date, y’all! The Traitors season 4 premieres on Peacock on Thursday, January 8, 2026, and we are BEYOND ready for it. Just like with season 3, we’ll be getting the first three episodes all at once, and then they’ll be released in weekly installments after that.

Side note: Deadline announced all the way back in August 2024 that Peacock had renewed The Traitors for both seasons 4 and 5 so...we’re going to be fed for a while, friends.
