One thing we love about The Traitors is the iconic Scottish castle that both the UK and American version are filmed in.
And worry not Ireland will be holding it’s own with a stunning castle for our version of the hit reality show.
We have plenty of historic buildings to choose from.
But there was only one that was up for the task.
The Irish Traitors has been filmed in Slane Castle!
Yes, the series, which will air on RTÉ later this year, has concluded filming.
How exciting!
The contestants will be having breakfast along the banks of the Boyne River as they find out day by day who has been murdered.
Slane Castle will be the backdrop for all the mind games, missions, and unexpected twists that make The Traitors one of the most captivating reality programmes.
The castle’s towering walls will be the perfect place for contestants to plot their next move, whether they’re in the midst of a faithful alliance or whispering behind closed doors as a Traitor.
Slane Castle isn’t just home to an extraordinary piece of Irish heritage; it’s about to be witness to jaw-dropping banishments and murders as The Traitors Ireland takes centre stage.
Siobhán McSweeney, as presenter, will guide viewers through the game, keeping an eagle-eye on the action as contestants fight to stay in the game.
Alex Mount Charles, owner of Slane Castle said: “Slane Castle may be our home, but it was built for entertaining. Having The Traitors here is an enthralling evolution of this theme as the dramatic setting of the castle and its grounds now provide the backdrop for world class entertainment on the screen. The whole team at Kite Entertainment have dug deep on this one.”
The nail-biting psychological reality competition sees a group of strangers arrive at a remote castle to play the ultimate game of deception, betrayal and trust, all in the hope of winning up to €50,000.
But, hidden amongst them are the Traitors, who will attempt to secretly murder a player every night, without getting caught. It’s up to the others, the Faithfuls, to try to detect who the Traitors are, and banish them from the game, before they become their next victim.
Each day, the group embark on Missions as they work together to add more money to the prize pot. For the lucky ones who survive to the end, they have the chance of winning that life-changing cash, but if a Traitor remains undetected, they’ll steal all the money.
