When is the next series of The Traitors UK?

The next series of The Traitors UK has not been confirmed yet, but the show is already casting for people to take part, so we can guarantee the show will be returning for a fifth outing.
Since the series typically airs around New Year's Day, perhaps we can expect the fifth season to kick off on 1st January 2027.
However, we do know a series of The Celebrity Traitors has already been confirmed for 2026. Although its release date is still to be confirmed, it's probably likely to drop around autumn in October this year.
