The upcoming fourth series of *The Traitors* is stirring excitement among fans after a Christmas Day teaser unveiled a surprising visual twist: a figure clad in a red cloak, diverging from the traditional green cloak worn by the traitors in previous seasons. The show’s host, Claudia Winkleman, hinted at extraordinary developments in this new series, promising “moments that made me gasp” and describing the upcoming episodes as truly extraordinary. However, the specific significance of the red cloak and the identity of the individual wearing it remain closely guarded secrets until the series premiere at 20:00 GMT on New Year’s Day.
Winkleman expressed her enthusiasm about the fresh direction the show is taking, praising the ingenuity of the production team, whom she described as “the greatest minds on earth.” Fans have already begun speculating that the red cloak might indicate a new role among the contestants, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the game’s established dynamics. Traditionally, the series features Winkleman selecting three traitors from over twenty contestants, with the possibility of recruiting more as the game evolves, while the remaining participants are known as the faithful. “The next series gets pretty twisty,” Winkleman remarked, revealing that the creators continually develop surprising new elements that keep the show unpredictable.
In this forthcoming series, viewers can also expect intense and heated confrontations among the contestants. Winkleman described the interactions as “hardcore” and promised “juicy roundtables” where the atmosphere becomes very heated, even ugly at times. She highlighted that the cast plays the game in an unprecedented and extraordinary way, often subverting expectations and avoiding predictable outcomes. This civilian series follows closely on the heels of a highly successful celebrity spin-off. Mike Cotton, creative director at Studio Lambert, expressed delight at how *The Celebrity Traitors* became a family viewing hit, praising its ability to bring parents and children together despite its themes of “murder, lies and betrayal.”
Despite the success of the celebrity edition, the production team has no plans to combine celebrities and civilian contestants in future series. Cotton explained that while some international versions have mixed reality stars and civilians, *The Traitors* maintains the clear division between the faithful and the traitors, and they want to avoid adding a further divide based on celebrity status. Winkleman noted the difference in contestant behavior between the celebrity and civilian editions, pointing out that the celebrities were polite and deferential, while the civilian players are far more cutthroat. The new civilian series will launch alongside other BBC One primetime offerings on New Year’s Day and will continue airing weekly on Fridays and Saturdays
