I love the show but I’m not ready to get into the next series. Does anyone else feel the same?

BBC1 8pm tonight

I’m excited for the new series but slightly worried about the trailer where Claudia is saying: “It’s going to be a bit different this year.” Don’t fuck with a good format.

MotherTuckinGenius · 01/01/2026 15:39

After the rubbish that’s been served up over the Christmas period I’m sooooooo looking forward to this!

IreneFromSkibbereen · 01/01/2026 16:57

Nope. Can’t wait.

MrsMitford3 · 01/01/2026 17:00

I saw something about the addition of a "red cloak" but now can't remember where I saw it...

Anyone heard of it?

HavingABlether · 01/01/2026 17:09

YABU. When did you abandon joy?

Yeah it was in the trailer I think, and Claudia mentioned it as a new thing.

I agree with PPs about not wanting the format to change much. But I sympathise with the producers because the contestants need to not know everything that might happen.

UnusualOtter · 01/01/2026 17:13

I agree, I'm looking forward to it but I would rather have a longer gap. Just like I love Christmas but hate it starting in November.

On the BBC website.

LittleBitofBread · 01/01/2026 17:53

No, the celebrity one whetted my appetite and I’m right up for a ‘normal’ one now.
Although like pps I hope they’ve gone for interesting people rather than ones who just want to use it to become a ‘personality’.

skippy67 · 01/01/2026 17:57

So don't watch it?

YellowPixie · 01/01/2026 18:02

Bios of contestants here

My first impression is that it is a more mix of ages unlike previous series which have had a token 50+ (Linda) and all the rest aged 18-35. May affect the sorts of tasks they're asked to do?

The Traitors Series 4 Contestants - Meet the players joining Claudia Winkleman in the castle

22 people descend on a Scottish castle. Who'll be Faithful? And who will Claudia select as her Traitors?

They always pick the wrong people to be traitors

dragonsandfairies · 01/01/2026 18:20

Can't wait for it!
Something decent to chill to of an evening.

No, I’m looking forward to it. Although the celebrity one was so perfect that I’m a bit concerned it won’t live up to expectations. I thought the 3rd civilian one was the worst and I didn’t warm to the group in the same way as series 1 & 2. I hope they haven’t gone for shock personalities and trying to instigate conflict on top of the actual game (which killed big brother after the early series).

Disagree. I didn’t like the celebrity one particularly. Not a patch on the normal version.

This actually made me laugh, thank you!

My reaction was the same, but hasn’t stopped me watching it!

Cunningcub · 01/01/2026 22:35

It’s too soon. I feel traitored out - and I love the show.

I haven’t seen any of the previous series but my DD asked if we could watch this one so we watched our first ever episode tonight.

Bufftailed · 01/01/2026 23:27

Totally agree. Not recovered from the last one

Trippingthelighteddaylight · 01/01/2026 23:30

Don’t watch it then. I’m well up for it, at last some decent telly.

Skybluepinky · 04/01/2026 15:46

No, I’m loving the new series.
