The First Minutes of The Traitors Season 4 Just Dropped on Peacock (EXCLUSIVE)
See the players meet each other for the first time in the first 4 minutes of the season's premiere, airing in full Thursday, January 8.
There's no better way to ring in the New Year than with a sneak peek of the first four minutes of The Traitors Season 4, only on Peacock.
The Emmy-winning reality series returns with the ever-devilish host Alan Cumming. He'll usher 23 new contestants into his Scottish castle for 11 episodes filled with treachery and plenty of deliciously flawed celebrity deduction.
In this exclusive sneak peek of the opening of Season 4's premiere, we get to see the new guests (plus this season's The Traitors Season 3 returnee Dorinda Medley from The Real Housewives of New York City) meet and mingle for the first time.
Watch the clip now on Peacock.
What we learned in the opening minutes of The Traitors Season 4
In this sneak peek for The Traitors Season 4, Episode 1, it's clear the gamers and reality stars are ready to go from the moment they convene in their arrival cars.
The opening shot reveals it's going to be a nighttime arrival with the black cabs that traditionally bring the players onto the castle grounds. As the contestants openly relay their excitement at finally being in the game itself, the cars present them to the front entrance of the castle where no lights appear to be on to greet them. They all sit in their cars for a dramatic beat, left to cumulatively ponder the black out, when a burst of flames erupts around the perimeter.
An epic flame show is their fiery welcome into Alan's lair but there's no host in sight. When the flames abate, the guests emerge where only the headlights of their cabs allow them to see who they'll be playing against this season.

Immediately, The Real Housewives of New York alum Dorinda Medley finds a friendly, familiar face in Lisa Rinna of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. In a cutaway confessional, Rinna makes it clear she wants to become one of the series' most infamous Traitors of all time.
Meanwhile, Survivor veteran and long-time podcaster Rob Cesternino quickly identifies infamous Big Brother player Tiffany Mitchell and makes his intentions clear to camera that he wants to create an alliance with her.
Proving that he may already be too sweet for this backstabbing show, comedian Ron Funches kindly bonds with Donna Kelce, the mamma of football superstars Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce.
And then Olympians and current NBC figure skating commentators, Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski, softly introduce themselves to some of the players. Weir explains to camera that they do not want to play into their close friendship so they aren't immediately made targets by the others for having an existing alliance coming into the season.
Maura Higgins also spots a potential ally in fellow Love Island star, Rob Rausch.
The time for chit chat abruptly ends when they flames rise once more in the garden signifying — finally — the arrival of the master of ceremonies. Cumming is in his full Scottish glory attended by his masked and robed minions.
To see what happens next, be sure to arrive on time January 8 on Peacock when the first three episodes will drop!
