The Traitors is set to crown its next winner - or winners - in just a matter of days! 👀📺
- It is almost time for the final of The Traitors.
- The BBC mega-hit is nearing the end of series 4.
- But when exactly will the season conclude?
The Traitors has more than lived up to the hype in series four - but unfortunately, all good things must come to an end.
The BBC mega-hit is entering its last week and just a couple of episodes remain. Its successful celebrity spin-off split its final three episodes over two weeks last autumn.
But will that be the case for The Traitors? Here’s all you need to know:
When is the final of The Traitors?
Throughout its fourth season, The Traitors has treated fans to three episodes per week. Outside of the first week - which began on Thursday, January 1 - the show has been on Wednesday to Friday.
Viewers might find it hard to believe, but the show is almost over for another year. It feels like only yesterday that 22 players first stepped through the doors at the Traitors Castle.
However, it is almost time for the trip to the fire pit - where a winner (or winners) will be crowned. The date for the 2026 final of The Traitors has now been set.
Series four of the BBC mega-hit will come to an end on Friday (January 23). The last three episodes of the season will be broadcast across Wednesday (January 21), Thursday (January 22), and Friday.
What time does The Traitors start this week?
The BBC mega-hit has moved to an earlier start time of 8pm for much of the season. In fact the only episode that didn’t begin at this time was the one on January 3, which started at 7.45pm.
For its final week, The Traitors will start at 8pm on both Wednesday and Thursday. It will be followed directly by companion show Uncloaked at 9pm on BBC One.
The last episode of series four is set to begin at the slightly later time of 8.30pm on Friday and has a super-sized runtime of 75 minutes. It is followed by an extra long Uncloaked at 9.45pm.
How to watch The Traitors?
