We are cancelling our plans for the foreseeable future.
If, like us, you were completely glued to The Traitors in the UK and the States (and even The Netherlands) this might be the best news you’ve ever heard.
The reality show is coming to our shores.
Yes, an Irish version of The Traitors is in the works!
The nail-biting psychological reality competition sees 22 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.
Speaking about the new show, Grainne McAleer, Commissioning Editor, Documentaries and Series, RTÉ said, “We are delighted to bring this really ambitious and entertaining format to RTÉ’s audience. And we’re confident that we’ll get 22 brilliant contestants whose attempts to outwit and deceive each other will make for compulsive viewing.
“This is an exciting show to cast. We want to hear from all kinds of people. Those who can make friends and influence people. Those who can lie and connive their way to the top, and those who can plot their own unique path to victory. So, if you think you can outsmart and out-schmooze, this could well be for you.”
RTÉ and Kite Entertainment are now seeking participants for the series which will be shot on location in Ireland and broadcast on RTÉ One in 2025.
