The upcoming fourth season of Peacock’s Emmy Award-winning murder-mystery reality competition series “The Traitors” is currently in production, with Season 5 already ordered by the streaming platform.
While we don’t know much about the forthcoming season apart from the fact that Alan Cummings will return as host, the rumored cast list for Season 4 was leaked online by fan sites, including Reddit user RealityTV_Fan.
The 16 person cast allegedly contains reality TV stars from series like “Real Housewives,” Survivor” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” as well as celebrity athletes, returning “Traitors” players and a curveball addition – the mother of Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end, Travis Kelce.
Here’s a closer look at the rumored cast of “The Traitors” Season 4.
Natalie Anderson – ‘Survivor’
Natalie Anderson’s impressive reality television resume started when she appeared on “Survivor: San Juan del Sur” in 2014.

Dorinda Medley – ‘Real Housewives’
“Real Housewives of New York City” star Dorina Medley is also set to return to “The Traitors” after she became the first eliminated player on Season 3. Medley’s alleged return to the series isn’t implausible, especially given that “Below Deck” star Kate Chastain competed on both Season 1 and Season 2.
GettyCandiace Dillard Bassett – ‘Real Housewives’
The fourth and final “Housewives” alum to enter the castle on Season 4 will (allegedly) be Candiace Dillard Bassett. Bassett originally appeared on “The Real Housewives of Potomac” from 2018 to 2024.

Donna Kelce – Mother of NFL Stars Jason and Travis Kelce
Perhaps the most out-of-nowhere name in the rumored cast list is Donna Kelce – the mother of NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, and allegedly the mother-in-law of pop icon Taylor Swift.
GettyDonna will be virtually unknown by the rest of the rumored cast coming into the castle for Season 4. While it’s hard to predict how she will fare in the castle, we do know that the Kelce family are fans of “The Traitors,” with Jason and Travis previously revealing that they’d “crush it” if they were ever cast.
