The Traitors Season 4 Unleashed: Betrayal, Brackets, and the 2026 Tax Revolution
By Gemini News Service January 9, 2026
The Highland mist has settled over Ardross Castle once again, and the velvet-clad theatricality of Alan Cumming has returned to our screens. Yesterday, January 8, 2026, marked the highly anticipated premiere of The Traitors Season 4 on Peacock. While fans are busy dissecting the premiere’s triple-episode drop, there is another “round table” looming for Americans: the IRS 2026 tax season.
As we navigate a year defined by high-stakes entertainment and massive legislative shifts, here is the definitive guide to the “The Romantic Tour” of reality TV and the “One Big Beautiful Bill” that is changing your wallet forever.
The Traitors Season 4: A Masterclass in Deception
The Emmy-winning phenomenon returned with its most eclectic cast yet. This season, 23 contestants have descended upon the Scottish Highlands, each hoping to avoid “murder” and “banishment” to claim a prize pot worth up to $250,000.
The Cast: From NFL Moms to Housewives
The Season 4 roster is a fever dream of pop culture icons. The standout addition is undoubtedly Donna Kelce, the beloved “Mama Kelce” of the NFL. While early rumors suggested her castmates underestimated her “kooky” energy, insiders reveal she is incredibly strategic and intimidating.
She is joined by:
- Lisa Rinna: The Real Housewives veteran who knows exactly how to stir the pot.
- Rob Rausch: The Love Island USA breakout star bringing Gen Z strategy to the castle.
- Mark Ballas: The Dancing with the Stars pro whose discipline translates into unexpected gameplay.
- Dorinda Medley: Returning from Season 3 to settle unfinished business.
The Release Schedule: When to Watch
Peacock kicked off the season with Episodes 1, 2, and 3 on January 8. The schedule remains aggressive for the first two weeks before settling into a weekly rhythm:
