The Traitors Ireland returns to RTÉ at the end of August
The Traitors Ireland is returning to RTÉ for a second season on August 30, hosted by Siobhán McSweeney. The psychological reality show will again be filmed at Slane Castle, featuring a new group of contestants competing for a cash prize.
Why it matters
The show's return highlights the success of the reality television format in the Irish market and its ability to generate significant audience engagement.
The new season of The Traitors Ireland will kick off on 30 August on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player with a whole new group of players set for a high-stakes game of deception and skullduggery in Slane Castle.
Derry Girls star Siobhán McSweeney will return as host to preside over a fresh intake of potential Traitors and Faithfuls in the psychological reality show that sees strangers compete against each other for a cash prize.
The new season follows the debut of The Traitors Ireland last August. The show became a huge ratings hit and saw 23-year-old business graduate Kelley Higgins from Letterkenny, Dublin model Oyin Adeyemi (23), and Vanessa Ogbonna (28), a content creator from Tramore, triumph over their rivals.
It also made a break-out star of retired prison officer Paudie Moloney (70), who went on to compete in Dancing with the Stars earlier this year.
