Best news ever!

Author: Alex RossPublished 22nd Aug 2024

As well as delighting fans by announcing a celebrity edition of hit reality show The Traitors, BBC bosses have also renewed the award-winning show for a fourth instalment, with filming due to take place in 2025.

Will there be a fourth series?

Yes! Announcing the news on Thursday 22nd August at the Edinburgh TV Festival, BBC bosses confirmed The Traitors series four has been commissioned.

Also confirming news of the hugely-antipcated celeb series, Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, said: “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. It will once again be fascinating for our audiences to see who’ll outwit, outplay, and outlast. Let the mind games begin!"

Mike Cotton, Creative Director Unscripted at Studio Lambert and Executive Producer for The Traitors, added: “We are thrilled to be inviting some celebrities into our castle to come and play the game. 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.”

When is it on TV?

There's no word just yet on when the series will air, but with series three reportedly hitting our screens in January 2025, series four might not land until 2026.

When is filming?
