The Traitors Ireland is back – and no, I’m not a f**king hugger.
The show everybody and their mother was talking about last year is finally returning, as Ireland’s answer to The Traitors is officially back on our screens – this month!
Yes, the series will be back on RTÉ from Sunday August 30th, so make sure to mark your calendars.
Siobhán McSweeney is once again returning as host of the show, bringing a wardrobe that’s almost as exciting as the game itself.
And yes, a game will be played, indeed.
A selection of hopefuls will arrive to Slane Castle once more, hoping to outsmart one another and walk away with up to €50,000.
There’ll be lies, deception, and hopefully a few viral moments too.
Kevin McGahern will also return to host The Traitors Ireland Uncloaked, which will air directly after the main show.
Teresa Smith Commissioning Editor, Factual Entertainment RTÉ said, “We’re delighted to welcome audiences back to Slane Castle for a brand new season of The Traitors Ireland.
“The first series captivated viewers across the country, and with this season the stakes are even higher. With a fresh group of players, new twists, new gameplay and plenty of surprises in store, audiences can expect all the drama, intrigue, treachery and unforgettable moments that makes The Traitors Ireland unmissable.”
Mairéad Whelan, Series Producer, Kite Entertainment said, “Once again, we’ve leaned into our own humour, culture, and characters to bring audiences another distinctively Irish version of The Traitors.
“This series is riddled with all the twists, turns and tears of an All- Ireland Final, but with new players, it’s a brand new game. Our Traitors and Faithful played a blinder, getting stuck into lies, accusations, murders, missions, banishments and the occasional croissant. We couldn’t be prouder of them or of the creative and talented team behind the scenes that made it all happen.”
The Traitors Ireland and The Traitors Ireland Uncloaked return Sunday 30 August, RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
