The Traitors season 4 has treated fans to twists and turns aplenty as the ultimate game of betrayal, backstabbing and trust returned to screens earlier this month.

From the introduction of a secret Traitor and a ceremonial dagger to Traitors going head-to-head in front of the Faithful and the chance for players to talk to the Traitors - it's been a series filled with plot twists.

And it's only natural to want in on all the action. Have you ever thought you would be rather good at the game? Or perhaps want to see Claudia Winkleman in all her gothic glory? Well, there is a chance to test that theory out...

Fancy a shot at appearing on The Traitors? Read on for everything you need to know on how to apply.

Applications are still open for The Traitors season 5, and it's all quite simple!

To apply to possibly be on The Traitors, all applicants must be 18 years of age or older and must fill out an application form. You must read through all the terms and conditions and register before you are able to apply.

Applications close on Sunday 31st May 2026.

Before registering, the page reads: "The Traitors is back, and we are looking for fun, smart and strategic players to take part in the ultimate game of trust and treachery!"

Within the application progress, there are a series of questions which include telling the casting team about yourself, whether you'd like to be a Traitor or Faithful, as well as some personal questions.

Some of the questions are as follows:

Have you watched The Traitors? If so, what did you think of previous players games?
What would be your strategy to win?
What is the biggest lie you have ever told? Did you get away with it?

If you think you've got what it takes, head over to this website for the full details.
