Fans have been highly anticipating the brand-new cast of the upcoming fourth season of The Traitors. The show has become an instant fan-favorite with reality TV goers thanks to its mix of suspense, strategy, and part murder mystery.
Last season saw a mix of reality TV stars from popular series, including The Real Housewives franchise, Survivor, and Big Brother. The new season will again see familiar faces of these hit shows with the addition of non-reality stars, including a Laguna Beach alum, two Olympic ice skaters, and Donna Kelce, the mother of Travis Kelce, who just so happens to be dating Taylor Swift.
The Traitors Season 4 Cast Includes Five Real Housewives
Peacock has unveiled the new cast lineup for The Traitors Season 4, and it’s promising to be another hit. Again, fans will see an array of Real Housewives stars who will be quick to align early on. But as past seasons have shown, even the strongest alliances can crumble fast, especially when Traitors lurk among them.
Season 4 will see five Real Housewives stars from various franchises. That’s one more Housewife than the previous season. The women include:
- Lisa Rinna, former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star
- Candiace Dillard Bassett, The Real Housewives of Potomac
- Caroline Stanbury, The Real Housewives of Dubai
- Porsha Williams, The Real Housewives of Atlanta
- Dorinda Medley, The Real Housewives of New York City
Yes, Dorinda is back for another season after being the first person to leave the Scottish castle in Season 3. Dorinda was ultimately murdered by the Traitors to break up the Housewives. Soon after, Real Housewives of Dubai star Chanel Ayan was murdered right after Dorinda, weakening the reality stars’ alliances. Later, RHOP alum Robyn Dixon was taken out in Episode 5. However, RHONJ star Dolores Catania lasted until the very end, winning the entire season along with Faithfuls Dylan Efron, Gabby Windey, and Lord Ivar Mountbatten. The four remaining Faithfuls split a cash prize of $204,300.
Will these five Housewives team up and form an alliance? Or have they learned from last season that trusting each other might just paint a target on their backs?
The New Season Is A Mixed Bag Of Familiar Reality TV Faces
The new cast lineup also features memorable stars from Survivor and Big Brother, continuing a trend from last season, most notably marked by the triumphant return of Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano, who entered Season 3 as a Traitor.
Season 4 will see three Survivor alums, including Rob Cesternino (Survivor: The Amazon, Survivor: All-Stars), who now hosts the fan-favorite Survivor and game show podcast, Rob Has A Podcast. Yam Yam Arocho, who became the Sole Survivor for Survivor 44, will also join Rob. Additionally, Survivor: San Juan del Sur winner Natalie Anderson will also be competing. Natalie also competed on The Amazing Race.
Two Big Brother alums will also be strategizing in Scotland — Big Brother 14 winner Ian Terry and Big Brother 23 contestant Tiffany Mitchell.
Other notable reality TV stars include The Bachelor’s Colton Underwood — the first lead in Bachelor history to come out as gay. Dancing With the Stars alum professional dancer Mark Ballas, RuPaul’s Drag Race star Monét X Change, Top Chef’s Kristen Kish, and two Love Island stars: Maura Higgins and Rob Rausch. Interestingly, fans have wondered whether Rob would appear on the new Love Island spinoff, Love Island: Beyond the Villa, but now we know he’ll be busy socializing with his Traitors castmates in Scotland instead.
Travis Kelce’s Mom, Donna Kelce Will Star In The New Season
Season 4 will also feature a mixed bag of those not known in the reality TV space. These new contestants include two Olympic legends: Figure skaters Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir. While fans may question how well they’ll handle the strategy, alliances, and backstabbing that The Traitors demands, it’s anyone’s guess what tricks they might have up their sleeves.

The series will also see K-Pop singer Eric Nam, comedian Ron Funches, who will no doubt give these contestants some much-needed comedic relief at the round table; actor Michael Rapaport, and MTV’s Laguna Beach and One Tree Hill star Stephen Colletti.
One of the most surprising additions this season is NFL star Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce. She’s already captured fans’ hearts with her unwavering support of her son’s football career. And, of course, most people now recognize Travis as Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, adding even more spotlight to Donna’s appearance.
Of course, actor Alan Cumming will return to host the new season, and fans hope to see his dog, Lala, make special appearances once again during the challenges. Alan has not been shy about expressing how much he loves hosting the show.
“I really love doing it,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “I love the fact it’s connected with everyone in this way. Everyone’s really obsessed by it.”
A premiere date for Season 4 has not been announced yet, but it has been confirmed by Peacock that the season will air in early 2026.
