The most treacherous time of the year is here.
"The Traitors" returns for Season 4, welcoming stars from Hollywood, sports and reality TV to compete in the most campy murder mystery game.
Icons from "Survivor," "RuPaul's Drag Race" and "Dancing With The Stars" have gathered in a Scottish castle to compete for a prize of up to $250,000.
Bravo fans can enjoy the sight of queens from the "Real Housewives" franchise, including Lisa Rinna, Porsha Williams and Dorinda Medley, or perhaps even "The Bachelor" Colton Underwood. "Love Island" fans will recognize bombshells Maura Higgins and Rob Rausch.
"The Traitors" host Alan Cummings in the Season 4 premiere.
The cast also notably includes Donna Kelce, the celebrity mother of NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce and the soon-to-be mother-in-law of Taylor Swift.
The Peacock series returns after two consecutive Emmy victories for Seasons 2 and 3 in the reality competition series categories. Alan Cummings is also coming off two Emmy Award wins as a host for a reality competition series. Here's what to know.

Who won 'The Traitors' Season 1 and 2?
Four-time "Survivor" contestant Ciree Fields was the first person to win the U.S. version of "The Traitors" as a traitor. She left faithfuls Andie Thurmond and Quentin Jiles flabbergasted when she revealed her identity and won all the money.
