Get ready for some serious drama, because the next season of The Traitors US just got a whole lot more exciting! Irish reality star and TV presenter Maura Higgins has officially joined the cast, and fans are already buzzing with anticipation. But here’s where it gets controversial: with a star-studded lineup that includes The Bachelor‘s Colton Underwood, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills‘ Lisa Rinna, and even Donna Kelce (yes, the mother of Taylor Swift’s fiancé Travis Kelce), this season promises to be a clash of personalities like no other. And this is the part most people miss: the show’s $250,000 prize isn’t just about the money—it’s about trust, betrayal, and outsmarting your fellow contestants. In a teaser, Higgins boldly declares, ‘If someone comes for me at the Round Table, God love them,’ hinting at the fierce competition ahead. Hosted by the charismatic Alan Cumming, the show returns on January 8th for its fourth season, following its Emmy-winning streak in 2025. But let’s not forget the Irish version, which debuted in August 2025 and became a massive hit for RTÉ, proving that the format resonates globally. Now, here’s a thought-provoking question: With such a diverse and competitive cast, who do you think will emerge as the ultimate traitor—or will loyalty prevail?
