If you have been playing The Traitors vicariously through the season three contestants, then now is your chance to try the game yourself! Applications to join the cast of season four are now open, and you don't have long left to apply.
The gameshow first arrived in the UK in November 2022 and quickly became a word of mouth success. By the time the second season arrived in January 2024, it was winning audiences of more than five million. Now in its third season, The Traitors is still considered appointment television.
It is not a game, however, for the faint hearted. This season alone we have seen more tears, tension and treachery than ever before. With up to £120,000 up for grabs and no way of fully trusting anyone around you, it's intense to say the least. It also requires a great deal of time, even those infamous round table scenes take much longer to film in real life than you might think watching the show.
If you are still interested in taking part in next time, here's how...
What does it take to apply?
As per the Studio Lambert website, the production company that creates the show, 'The Traitors is a competition series built on strategy, suspicion and deception, filmed in the Scottish Highlands. A team of players will compete in a series of missions, the more missions they complete successfully, the bigger the prize pot.'
Hidden amongst the players are the traitors, who meet in secret and decide who to eliminate from their fellow players known as the faithful. The aim for the traitors is to stay undetected until the end, the aim for the faithful is to banish all of the traitors before the game ends. Throughout the series, there are twists, turns, rigorous challenges, shocks and surprises for the players.
Applicants must have a right to legally reside in the UK and be available to take part in the programme for up to four weeks. Filming is currently anticipated to take place in Spring/Summer 2025.
