For fans of the British reality show, the new year got off to a flying start. Season 4 delivered excitement every week as the Faithful and Traitors battled it out for a staggering potential pot of £120,000.
This time the Traitors managed to outsmart their opponents; the alliance between Rachel Duffy and Stephen Libby lasted until the end of the series, allowing them to take home £95,750.
Will season 5 of the show prove to be just as exciting? Could the challenges get any more Byzantine and absurd? What will Claudia wear next? And will there be another secret traitor?
We’re gathering all the information about the upcoming series of Britain’s most-watched reality show.

When will The Traitors series 5 be released?
The BBC has not yet announced when The Traitors will return. But since seasons 2 to 4 premiered in January, we think the fifth part of the reality show will air early this year. January 2027.
Filming for the show will take place over the summer and autumn and will of course once again take place at the 19th century Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands. Claudia Winkleman returns as presenter of the program.
