After the first instalment of Traitors Ireland saw gangbuster success, RT\u00c9 channeled their inner Davina McCall and said, ‘Fancy another one?’<\/p>\n

The series is set to return to our TV screens imminently, and we simply cannot wait.<\/p>\n

Siobh\u00e1n McSweeney<\/a> returns as host, and she’s bringing her wit, theatrical flair, and head-turning wardrobe with her to the mystical Slane Castle<\/a> once more.<\/p>\n

As we know from S1, every entrance from Siobh\u00e1n promises as much drama as the war between the Traitors and Faithfuls itself.<\/p>\n

We already know the name of the game, but for those of you who haven’t seen it (why), here’s what you need to know.<\/p>\n

Hidden among the players, a select few will be secretly chosen as Traitors. The rest are Faithfuls. From that moment on, no stone is to be left unturned as the Faithfuls figure out the identity of their enemies.<\/p>\n

Suspicions run high, allies become potential threats, and we’re at home on the couch feeling as though we’re part of the game. It’s transportative!<\/p>\n

Traitors could be hiding in the shadows, or worse, in plain sight. Faithfuls must follow one simple rule: Trust no one.<\/p>\n

The players will compete in challenges to win money for the prize pot of up to a whopping \u20ac50,000.<\/p>\n

And back to dissect all the cloaked chaos, Kevin McGahern returns as host of The Traitors Ireland Uncloaked.<\/p>\n

He’ll be joined by celebrity guests and those who have been murdered or banished, spilling all the behind-the-scenes tea that we so badly crave.<\/p>\n

Teresa Smith, Commissioning Editor, Factual Entertainment RT\u00c9, said,\u00a0‘We’re delighted to welcome audiences back to Slane Castle for a brand new season of\u00a0The Traitors Ireland.\u00a0The first series captivated viewers across the country, and with this season the stakes are even higher.’<\/p>\n
