The Traitors Season 4: Preview

The Emmy-winning The Traitors is back, and this season looks set to increase the fear factor, paranoia, and fist-chewing intensity. And, like a moustache-twirling movie villain, Alan Cumming will be luring another group of reality TV stars and public figures into Ardross Castle, where they’ll face terrifying challenges and heated disagreements as they attempt to steal off with up to $250,000. If the suspense is killing you, don’t fear: the following guide will make clear how to watch The Traitors Season 4 online and free from anywhere with a VPN.

There’s about to be 23 new contestants racing to the Scottish Highlands, where our inimitable host will great them – and discover which of them possesses the cut-throat cunning to be one of his “Traitors”. This year’s VIP cast includes athletes, Olympians, actors, comedians, and of course, reality TV stars and Real Housewives, the last group of which are pretty adept at backstabbing and deceit. Those that Alan recruits as “Traitors” will need to avoid the suspicion of the remaining “Faithful”, as, by day, they feign loyalty for challenges in which they bolster the prize fund, and by night, condemn a fellow contestant to die “by order of the traitors.”

And this season, it’s not only Cumming’s outfits that have gotten more theatrical. The trailer suggests Season 4 will crank up the psychological and emotional ante, with Ardross Castle and its environs depicted like a terrifying scare maze for some of the daily group tasks – fountains gushing blood, chainsaw-wielding clowns bursting through windows – while Cop Land actor Michael Rappaport brings an intensity to the Round Table usually reserved for the big screen.

It’s an eclectic bunch of contestants, and that means we can expect more than a few fiery altercations. Rather than looking for love in a Spanish villa, Moira Higgins (Love Island UK) will need to gain the trust of her peers in a draughty Scottish castle. Her fellow participants include three Survivor alumni, whose gameplay is typically on point, the mother of NFL legend Travis Kelce (yes, Taylor Swift’s fiancé), and the women of the Real Housewives franchise. Among the latter, Dorinda Medley – the first casualty of Season 3 – is back for more, eager to prove herself either a loyal “Faithful” or a stone-cold “Traitor.”

Can I watch The Traitors Season 4 online in the UK?

The Traitors US airs on BBC iPlayer in the UK. Typically, though, there’s about a three week wait between US episodes airing and their UK debut. And, with the Claudia Winkleman-front version returning from New Year’s Day in Blighty, don't expect the American version to land until the UK version ends, which is likely to be in late January.

BBC iPlayer is the home of The Traitors – the homegrown version and multiple international editions. It’s 100% free to use. Simply go ahead and sign-up for a BBC iPlayer account. All you need is an email address and a UK postcode (e.g. W12 7FA) and a valid TV licence.

An American citizen overseas? Use a VPN to access your Peacock account back in the States.

Can I watch The Traitors Season 4 online in Canada?

The release date of The Traitors US Season 4 hasn’t been revealed yet for those in Canada. Yet we’re certain Crave, the faithful home of the franchise in the Great White North, will add episodes soon. At least if last year is any indication, when they premiered day-and-date with the US.

You can watch a variety of international versions of The Traitors on Crave. Subscriptions start from $9.99 a month (+tax), or you can sign up for an annual plan and get 12 months for the price of 10.

NB: if you're an American traveling north of the border who wants to access your Peacock account back home, you can do so with a VPN.

Can I watch The Traitors US Season 4 in Australia?

So far, 10Play hasn’t announced a release date for Season 4, which is where The Traitors US is licensed to stream Down Under. We’ll keep you up-to-date of the latest developments. However, it might be good to know that new installments of the US series are often only a few weeks behind their initial American debut.

To access 10Play, all you need to do is create an account with an Australian postcode and begin streaming right away. However, 10Play locks its content to Aussies only. So if you're from Oz but in another country right now, simply sign up to a VPN to appear right back at home.
