Warning: The following article has spoilers for the season 3 finale of The Traitors.
After a full season of backstabbing, accusations, and serious drama, The Traitors season 3 has come to an end. The series is filmed in a historic Scottish castle (but no, the cast does not actually sleep there when they wrap filming each day) and they competed throughout the season in order to add money to the prize pool while the Traitors pick the Faithfuls off one by one.
Will there be a sesaon 4 of The Traitors?
The American version of The Traitors began airing in 2023 and starting in the second season, the show's cast has been entirely made up of reality TV stars and other famous public figures. The third season wrapped filming in the summer of 2024 and shortly after filming ended, the network announced that the show would be returning for at least two more seasons, according to Variety.
The Traitors has been nominated for and won a number of awards, including Outstanding Reality Competition Program at the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards, so it's likely no surprise that the show was already renewed at Peacock for seasons 4 and 5 ahead of the release of the third season.
According to Variety, host Alan Cumming will be returning as the host of the next seasons of The Traitors when it returns. Peacock hasn't shared any information about the next season, but it's likely that it will follow the same format as the previous seasons, filming in the summer and airing in early 2026.
Who won The Traitors season 3?
Season 3 of The Traitors saw the highest number of Faithfuls coming together to take home the prize that the season has had yet. A total of four Faithfuls managed to stick together and win the prize at the end after eliminating the final Traitor.
The four Faithfuls that won season 3 of The Traitors were: Gabby Windey from The Bachelor; Dylan Efron, brother to High School Musical heartthrob Zac Efron; Dolores Catania of The Real Housewives of New Jersey; and Lord Ivar Mountatten, a British aristocrat and member of the extended British royal family.
The four of them split the cash prize of $204,300 among them and Gabby Windey revealed ahead of the big announcement that if she were to be named one of the winners, she would want to use her share of the prize money to get married to her girlfriend, Robby Hoffman. Before the series aired, Gabby Windey and Robby Hoffman got married in Las Vegas in a secret $799 ceremony.
In a confessional segment after the remaining Faithfuls were named the winners, Dolores Catania gave a heartfelt message about her time on the series, saying, "This is such a moment in my life. I wouldn't have wanted to end with anybody else. We're not leaving with money, we're leaving with friendships."
If you want to catch up on all the backstabbing and drama, the first three seasons of The Traitors are streaming now on Peacock.
