The show is hosted by Paul Henry, as 19 players head to a luxury lodge and attempt to find the Traitors in their midst and win a $70,000 prize pot.
The news comes after it was confirmed this week that an Indian version of the show is in the works at Prime Video. Hosted by Karan Johar, the series will be set inside a royal palace.

“Seeing famous faces navigate the round table or don the infamous green cloaks will be unmissable TV, and what a double treat for the fans with Series 4 also confirmed too. There's a whole lot of exciting treachery and deception yet to come from the Highlands… Claudia’s going to have to pack some extra knitwear.”
“The Traitors has well and truly established itself as an unmissable highlight of the year and the news of a fourth outing, alongside a brand new celebrity version coming to the BBC, will take the series to a whole new level,” added the BBC’s head of entertainment Kalpna Patel-Knight. “It will once again be fascinating for our audiences to see who’ll outwit, outplay, and outlast. Let the mind games begin!"
