## Production

In August 2024, before the previous series had started, the BBC said that _The Traitors_ would get a fourth series. Applications for the series opened on 22 August 2024 and closed on 28 March 2025. The series was recorded in June 2025. The series began on 1 January 2026.

## People in the game

The BBC revealed the 22 people playing the game (players) at midnight on 1 January 2026.

There were some secret connections in the game. Judy and Roxy were mother and daughter. Roxy said this to the camera in the first episode. Ellie and Ross were dating. Ellie only said this to the camera after Ross was banished (voted by other players to leave the game). Netty and Ross were old friends and they did not know that the other one would be on the show. Netty told the other players this.

In the first episode, Winkleman said one player would be a "Secret Traitor". The audience would not know who this traitor was. This "Secret Traitor" would write a murder shortlist (a smaller list of Faithful players for murder). The audience could only know if a player was faithful if they were on the shortlist or banished. Fiona was the Secret Traitor. This was shown in episode 4. Before this, a red cloak showed the Secret Traitor.
