Article Summary

  • The Traitors Season 4 shifts to one episode per week, building suspense and stakes for fans.
  • Last week's double eliminations amped up the drama, pushing alliances to their limits.
  • Episode 6, Planning a Coup, promises major betrayals and serious levels of chaos.
  • Faithfuls and Traitors are set for explosive confrontations in the Scottish Highlands castle.

We're back with our weekly preview/viewing guide for the fourth season of Peacock's Emmy Award-winning competition reality series The Traitors. Hosted by award-winning actor Alan Cumming at an ancient castle nestled deep in the Scottish Highlands, the global phenomenon is giving viewers a chance to process things this week. That's because this is the first week that Peacock is running single episodes weekly, unlike the three-episode season premiere and last week's pair of episodes. By the time the credits rolled, Faithfuls Caroline Stanbury and Monét X Change were "murdered," while Faithful Tiffany Mitchell and Michael Rapaport were "banished" (with Rapaport creating a whole lot of controversy ahead of his departure). That brings us to this week's round of drama and intrigue…

With the next round set to hit the streaming service at 6 pm PT/9 pm ET, here's a look at what you need to know about S04E06: "Planning a Coup" (with the episode overview giving us serious Game of Thrones/"Red Wedding" vibes). In addition, we have a look at the latest episode of the reality competition series' podcast, along with some additional "extras" we thought you might appreciate.

The Traitors Season 4 Episode 6: "Planning a Coup" Preview

What's "The Traitors" All About? Peacock's The Traitors is a nail-biting psychological adventure in which treachery and deceit are the name of the game. Here's how it goes down:

  • The entertainment industry's most competitive reality stars and famous faces take part in the ultimate murder mystery game, as contestants work together on a series of exhilarating missions to build a prize fund worth up to $250,000.
  • Hidden amongst the Faithful are the Traitors, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithful and claim the prize for themselves.
  • Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree, while the Faithful try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game.
  • If the Faithful contestants banish all the Traitors, they will share the prize fund, but if a Traitor (or Traitors) makes it to the end, they will steal all the money.

Who Can We Expect During "The Traitors" Season 4? Hosted by the impossibly stylish and devastatingly witty Cumming, the contestants for the fourth season include:

  • Candiace Dillard Bassett (The Real Housewives of Potomac)
