Some crazy s–t is about to go down in the Scottish Highlands.
At least, that’s what The Traitors host Alan Cumming teased ahead of the Peacock reality competition series’ upcoming fourth season.
“About halfway through, there is a scene in it that is the greatest moment in Traitors history,” Cumming exclusively told E! News Aug. 14 at The Television Academy’s inaugural Televerse immersive experience in Los Angeles. “Honestly, I just cannot wait for the world to see it. It’s utter carnage and utter just mad. It’s just brilliant.”
And considering the star-studded cast of season four celebrities—which includes the likes of Lisa Rinna, Donna Kelce, Porsha Williams, Colton Underwood, Dorinda Medley, Johnny Weir, Ron Funches and Stephen Colletti, among many others—the backstabbing and betrayal could be coming from any direction.
As for what it takes to win the mentally and physically draining competition, Cumming shared what qualities next season’s Traitors need if they want to defeat the Faithfuls.
“Balls of steel, first of all,” the actor said. “Audacity, boldness and you have to really go for it. But at the same time, don’t be too chaotic. So, measured boldness I would say.”
Meanwhile, the Faithfuls might want to take some advice from last season’s winners, The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Dolores Catania, Zac Efron‘s brother Dylan Efron, Bachelor Nation alum Gabby Windey and British royal Lord Ivar Mountbatten.
In fact, the foursome did warn that it is extremely hard not to spoil the outcome of the show, since they film about a year prior to its airing.
“Incredibly difficult, I have a huge mouth,” Windey told E! News in March following the season three finale. “But people who watch the show don’t want any spoilers.”
Efron echoed, “Once the show starts, everybody’s like, ‘Do not spoil anything.'”
As for what his brother thought of his win, Efron noted of the High School Musical alum, “He’s so supportive of me. He’s been lifting me up since we were kids. He’s just proud that I did something I wanted to do.”
The Traitors returns next year on Peacock. In the meantime, keep reading to meet the entire cast of season four stars.
