The Traitors Ireland has officially begun production in Slane Castle.
The Irish version of the popular reality competition series, The Traitors, was officially commissioned by RTÉ in October.
According to the Meath Chronicle, the series is currently being filmed at Slane Castle, County Meath.
The series will be hosted by Derry Girls star Siobhán McSweeney, her role was confirmed in December.
According to the synopsis, The Traitors Ireland “sees 22 strangers travel to a lonely castle for the suspenseful psychological reality competition, where they compete in the ultimate game of deceit, treachery, and trust, all with the potential to win €50,000 or more. However, among them lurk the Traitors, who try every night to kill a player covertly and escape detection. Before they become their next victim, it is the responsibility of the other players, the Faithfuls, to identify the Traitors and remove them from the game.”
Speaking about hosting The Traitors Ireland, Siobhán said: “Like everyone, I am a huge Traitors fan, so when I was asked to host the Irish version, I jumped at the chance. I’m looking forward to meeting our loyal, Faithful, and delicious Traitors. The Irish have a charm and ability to deceive while smiling which will make this version rather special, I think. And I’m the luckiest person in the world to watch them close up.”
Speaking about Siobhán, Steve Carson, RTÉ’s Director of Video said: “Siobhán is an incredibly talented actor with a great comic and dramatic range. We know that she is going to bring something really special to Ireland’s version of this fantastic game of trust and deceit.”
