A brand new season of The Traitors is coming to NBC, with a twist: All of the contestants will be regular people. Alan Cumming announced the news during a panel at the Televerse 2025 conference in Los Angeles, where he was appearing alongside past contestants Bob The Drag Queen, Rob Mariano, Cirie Fields, Kate Chastain and Phaedra Parks. Speaking about the civilian contestants, Cumming said, ”The money will mean more to them,” adding, ”I’m pretty excited about it. I think it’s going to be a hoot.” The season will be shot in the spring. In the meantime, the fourth season of The Traitors will premiere on Peacock in 2026, and will star Colton Underwood, Travis and Jason Kelce’s mom Donna, Season 3 alum Dorinda Medley, and Lisa Rinna. The show has already been renewed for a fifth season.
