Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for "The Traitors" Season 4 finale.
"The Traitors" Season 4 may be in the books, but there's more treacherous gameplay on the way.
The reality competition show, which airs on Peacock, has already been renewed for a fifth season.
It follows a group of contestants who are secretly split into two groups: Traitors and Faithful. The Faithful must determine who the Traitors are and banish them from the game to win the grand prize.
If the Faithful don't sniff out the Traitors, the latter can take all the money for themselves at the end of the show − a situation Maura Higgins found herself in during the Season 4 finale.

Peacock announced in August 2024 that "The Traitors" had been renewed for both Seasons 4 and 5, so more episodes are on the way.
While a release date for Season 5 hasn't yet been announced, it could fall in early January, if past seasons are any indication:
Season 1 premiered on Jan. 12, 2023
Season 2 premiered on Jan. 12, 2024
Season 3 premiered on Jan. 9, 2025
Season 4 premiered on Jan. 8, 2026
Cast members from past seasons have said filming for the show has taken place in the late spring or early summer, so it's possible that filming for the new season won't happen for a few more months.
What we know about 'The Traitors' Season 5 cast
From "Big Brother" gamers to "Real Housewives" stars, "The Traitors" features a cast of reality TV legends and other big-name public figures.
While the first season of the American version featured both reality TV stars and regular people, the previous three seasons have included only groups of public figures. Peacock also previously announced that a new civilian-led version of "The Traitors" is in the works.
As for when the cast list for the next season will be revealed, in past years, the stars have been announced in June.
