The Traitors is again for a fourth collection on New Yr’s Day – however this time there will probably be one thing totally different.
The award-winning present’s return in January is undoubtedly the perfect factor to occur in the course of the gloomy winter month after Christmas (no offense to anybody born in January).
It provides nail-biting drama, scenes of deceit and the right excuse to get mates collectively across the TV.
After three editions of the principle collection and one current iteration of the spin-off, Superstar Traitors, you could be apprehensive it is getting repetitive.
Nicely, concern not: host Claudia Winkleman has assured us that “there’s one thing new this time.”
She added: “What occurs on this collection is actually extraordinary, with moments that left me gasping for breath.
‘I am unable to look forward to folks to see it. The producers have the best minds on earth.”

Followers had been left guessing on Christmas Day when the BBC launched a teaser for the brand new collection that featured somebody wearing a never-before-seen purple cloak.
May this be the twist?
Those that noticed it theorized with this new data: “New traitor position or simply attempting to make the colours match higher?” requested @sightduhdushy on X.
Whereas @VeritaserumukT went deeper: ‘I believe the purple cloak will play a secret traitor position.
‘It is going to be an unknown traitor that the opposite traitors know nothing about.
“They may oppose each the traitors and the believers to attain the top. In the event that they make it, they take every part and the Traitors get nothing.”
What may the purple cloak be?
Our deputy TV editor, Tom Percival, has his personal idea about what the purple cloak in The Traitors may imply…
The addition of a brand new position will add a bit spice to this fourth season and remind these enjoying to count on the surprising whenever you enter Claudia’s fortress.
However what position does the purple cloak play? Nicely, the boring reply can be a “detective-type character.”
Within the recreation Mafia there’s a participant who takes on this position, and he has particular powers that permit him to establish the responsible events exterior of regular gameplay.
Folks predicted that Celia Imrie would secretly be the detective when Superstar Traitors was on, however that turned out to be a load of previous nonsense.
However actually, I do not suppose the detective position will add a lot to the sport. Even when the Devoted factors out a traitor early on, they’re simply changed by one other, making the entire thing a bit pointless.
What can be extra enjoyable is a brand new ‘Tremendous Traitor’ position: a traitor who operates throughout the Traitors and might assault his fellow assassins!
It could definitely be a harmful place, however it could assist with one of many format’s largest issues, which is the facility the Traitors have when united.
Rankings for the spin-off collection, which aired within the fall, are definitely affirmation that the present is a giant hit with audiences.
The Superstar Traitors ultimate had a median viewers of 11.1 million folks and peaked at 12 million folks. The nation was gripped when comic Alan Carr emerged victorious as an unlikely traitor to win £87,500 for charity.
One of many many households watching was Claudia’s, however she revealed nothing beforehand.
When requested if she was letting any spoilers slip, Claudia mentioned: ‘Actually, I’d lose my job. Moreover, it isn’t good to know.
“When Alan received, my husband and youngest son could not cease screaming and crying and shouting, ‘However you knew!’
After profitable, Alan hinted at a giant twist within the subsequent collection, studying a be aware with an ominous message: ‘Expensive new traitors, take excellent care of the place, will not you? Since you’ll by no means guess what Claudia is planning to do that time.’
This January we’ll see one other 22 gamers descend on the fortress within the Scottish Highlands as they try and play an elaborate recreation of wink homicide, with the possibility to win as much as £120,000.
Upon arrival, the forged usually touch upon the gorgeous location, and Claudia agrees: ‘The Scottish Highlands are maybe probably the most lovely place on earth.
‘It’s a privilege to spend a lot time surrounded by the breathtaking surroundings. I’ve by no means been wherever like this earlier than.
‘There’s one thing concerning the huge sky, the breathtaking lakes and the wildlife.’
The brand new collection of The Traitors begins New Yr’s Day at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
