Excuse me, but where can we actually watch Celebrity Traitors US in the UK? Because honestly, we need our Lisa Rinna fix, like, yesterday.

We’ve all been a little distracted with the UK edition of The Traitorsfamily theories flying, Traitor-on-Traitor attacks happening… and season 4 generally taking over our brains completely. Which is probably why the release of the US edition, a.k.a. Celebrity Traitors US, almost completely slipped under our radar. But since the UK The Traitors finale is set for Friday 23 January, it won't be long before we're pleading for Alan Cumming to take the lead from Claudia Winkleman once more.

Here on our side of the pond, armed with a packet of crisps and a comforting cuppa, we’ve been trying to track down the episodes… but no can do? Rumour has it they’re due to air on BBC iPlayer, but so far, we’ve come up short.

So, to save you the same frustration, here’s everything you need to know about watching Celebrity Traitors US in the UK — including where, when and how to get your fix of drama, scheming, and yes, plenty of Lisa Rinna.

Where can you watch The Traitors US?

The first three seasons of The Traitors US are already available to stream on BBC iPlayer, so if you’ve been meaning to catch up, now’s the perfect time. Previous series have featured big names like Crishell Stause and Tom Sandoval. Season four is expected to follow suit, landing on the platform for us UK viewers — but naturally, the big question is: when exactly will it be available?

Who is in the 2026 cast of The Traitors US?

Season four of The Traitors US promises plenty of drama, star power and eyebrow-raising moments, featuring a cast you’ll definitely want to watch. Among the recruits are Donna Kelce, famously known as Taylor Swift’s mother-in-law, bringing a dose of celebrity intrigue; Colton Underwood from The Bachelorette, whose charm and reality TV experience are sure to make him a fan favourite (or a prime target for the Traitors); and Maura Higgins from Love Island, whose charisma and quick wit are bound to shake things up in the castle. There's also another RuPaul's Drag Race recruit in Monét X Change, following suit from season 3 star Bob The Drag Queen.

Here's the full cast of The Traitors US season 4:

  • Candiace Dillard Bassett
  • Caroline Stanbury
  • Colton Underwood

When will The Traitors US season 4 be released in the UK?

Last year, the first five episodes of The Traitors US hit iPlayer as soon as the UK run wrapped up in late January, letting fans instantly catch up and stay up to date with the US drama. It was basically binge-watching heaven.

So, can we expect the same instant gratification this year? Unfortunately, not.

It’s been confirmed that the Irish version of the show, hosted by Derry Girls favourite Siobhan McSweeney, will land on iPlayer on Saturday 24 January — just one day after the UK finale on Friday 23 January. The BBC tends to release each iteration of the show one at a time, keeping things orderly, which means we might have a bit of a wait before The Traitors US hits UK screens.

While the official release date is still pending, it looks like we’ll have to be patient this year — possibly holding out until slightly later in 2026 before we can dive into more scheming, shocking betrayals, and, celeb-on-celeb roundtable time. In the meantime, it’s the perfect excuse to rewatch past seasons, stock up on snacks and sharpen those Traitor-detecting instincts.
