The sixth season of the American television series The Traitors was announced on May 11, 2026 and is set to premiere in early 2027.

Format The show retained the same format and challenges as the The Traitors UK. The arrived contestants at the castle are referred to as the "Faithful," and among them are the "Traitors," a group of contestants secretly selected by the host, Alan Cumming. Each night, the Traitors would decide who to "murder," and that same contestant would leave the game. After the end of each day, where the contestants participated in various challenges to add money to the prize fund, they would participate in the Round Table, where they must decide who to banish from the game, trying to identify the Traitor.

If all the remaining players are Faithful, then the prize money is divided evenly among them. However, if any Traitors remain, they win the entire pot.

Contestants

Similar to the second through fourth seasons, this season's cast was composed entirely of reality show participants and public figures. Peacock announced the 23 cast members via social media on September 18, 2026.
