Despite The Celebrity Traitors wrapping up spectacularly last week, and even though a second season is already in the works, we’re craving another fix of the ultimate murder mystery game. Thankfully, the US version of The Traitors is coming back in the new year.

Season four of The Traitors US will see Alan Cumming return to host as a mix of celebrities and reality TV stars try and get their hands on the prize pot.

In the last season, the Faithfuls – Dolores Catania, Dylan Efron, Gabby Windey, and out gay British Royal family member, Ivar Mountbatten – won the game after a series that featured RuPaul’s Drag Race star Bob the Drag Queen and Selling Sunset‘s Chrishell Stause.

Among the LGBTQ+ cast members for the new season are Colton Underwood, Johnny Weir, Monét X Change, Kristen Kish, and Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho.

The new season will air from January 9 on Peacock and is will be available on the BBC iPlayer in the future.

Here’s the cast for The Traitors US season four:

Candiace Dillard Bassett

The Real Housewives of Potomac star is also a former Miss United States winner (2013), so knows a thing or two about appealing to a crowd.

Caroline Stanbury

The Real Housewives of Dubai and Ladies of London star is known for her brutally honest opinions, which could make her a fierce contender at the roundtables.

Colton Underwood

Before coming out as gay in 2021, Underwood starred on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. He’s since gone on to present the new reality show, Are You My First?

Donna Kelce

“Mama” Kelce, the mother of the Travis Kelce, is the future mother-in-law of Taylor Swift.

Dorinda Medley

The Real Housewives of New York City star has already competed on the last season of The Traitors (US) so has first-hand experience.

Eric Nam

The singer-songwriter and K-pop star has pivoted towards acting in recent years.

Ian Terry

An experienced reality-TV star, Terry won Big Brother in 2012 and then completed on Big Brother: All Stars in 2020.

Johnny Weir

The two-time Olympic figure skater is one of the queer stars on this season and we hope will be bringing some star quality to proceedings.

Kristen Kish

The lesbian Top Chef host is used to dealing with heat in the kitchen. Let’s hope the Roundtable is the same.

Rob Cesternino

Cesternino appeared on Survivor: The Amazon and Survivor: All-Stars and also runs the originally named podcast, Rob Has a Podcast.

Lisa Rinna

A proven icon and LGBTQ+ ally, we’re looking forward to seeing The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star on The Traitors US.

Mark Ballas

Ballas has been on Dancing with the Stars since 2007 and has won three times since then. He is the son of Strictly Come Dancing‘s Shirley Ballas.

Maura Higgins

Michael Rapaport

You may recognise Rapaport from his appearance as Gary in Friends or shows such as My Name is Earl.

Monét X Change

The co-winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4 and contestant on season 9, Monét is following in Bob the Drag Queen and Peppermint’s footsteps by making the jump from Drag Race to The Traitors. Hopefully Monét can go all the way!

Natalie Anderson

One half of ‘The Twinnes’ with her twin sister, Nadiya, Natalie competed on The Amazing Race and Survivor: San Juan del Sur. Natalie then took part in Survivor: Winners at War where she finished as a runner up.

Porsha Williams

Ron Funches

The comedian and actor is known for roles in Trolls, Jexi, and 6 Underground.

Stephen Colletti

Colleitti starred as Chase Adams on One Tree Hill and appeared on two seasons of teen MTV reality television series Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County.
