Your favorite murder mystery TV show is coming back and will be bigger than ever. This month, it was announced that there would be a Season 4 of The Traitors, a cut-throat reality TV competition, returning to the silver screen.
Masterfully hosted by actor Alan Cumming, the show follows a small group of traitors who are trying to go undetected as they slowly pick off the faithfuls. Ahead of the new season, Alan has since teased what he believes is a game full of “utter carnage.”
Alan Hinted At Bigger Drama Than Ever
This past week at an event for the Television Academy, host Alan Cumming teased how exciting the upcoming season would be, hinting at a single particularly shocking scene. Without giving away any specific spoilers, Alan assured fans that Season 4 might just be the most intense game yet.
As reported by E! News, Alan noted that there might be the franchise’s “greatest moment” ever at the midpoint of the season:
About halfway through, there is a scene in it that is the greatest moment in Traitors history. Honestly, I just cannot wait for the world to see it. It’s utter carnage and just utterly mad. It’s just brilliant.
The Season 4 Cast Is Star-Studded
Alan went on to note that the players would need a certain level of “boldness” if they wanted to last through the entire game—particularly those who were chosen as Traitors. He detailed the quality they’d need to possess in order to be successful:
B**** of steel, first of all. Audacity, boldness and you have to really go for it. But at the same time, don’t be too chaotic. So, measured boldness I would say.
Among the reality TV stars who will be entering the castle this season is a most eclectic mix of famous faces.
