TRAIT'S OVER RTE release new trailer for The Traitors Ireland and reveal date show will hit screens – and it's sooner that you think RTE have revealed the official premiere date for The Traitors Ireland - and its just WEEKS away.

The Irish version of the smash show will hit screens here on August 31. However, RTE have not disclosed whether The Traitors Ireland will air at 6:30pm - like Dancing With The Stars - or at the later time of 9:25pm after the news. An RTE source told The Irish Sun: 'That scheduling information will be available next week.' Advertisement Excitement increased today as the national broadcaster also released a new promo for the hit show, featuring host Siobhan. The nail-biting reality competition sees a group of strangers arrive at Slane 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. An RTE release added: 'Expect conniving glances over banquet breakfasts, whispers in corridors and enough drama to make even the most loyal viewer question their instincts. As tension rises and alliances crumble, viewers will be left asking: who's lying, who's loyal and who's next?' Advertisement Filming of the reality show took place at Slane Castle earlier this year with the identity of the winner now a closely guarded secret. Owner of Slane Castle, Alex Conyngham - son of the late Henry Mount Charles - has revealed how he and his family lived on the top floor of the castle while below them contestants were being murdered in the nail-biting psychological reality competition. The Traitors shock as surprise winners walk away with £90k cash prize in VERY tense scenes He told us: 'Living on top of a film set is an unusual one, but I grew up with a bit of that because the movie The Great Train Robbery was filmed here with Sean Connery. "But this was a little bit different and more intense but I have to say it that (producer) Darren (Smith) and the whole crew were very respectful to us.' Advertisement OFFER CONSIDERATION Alex revealed he had to give it some serious consideration when Irish TV producers approached him to open up his ancestral home to all the mind games, missions, and unexpected twists for which the hit show is famous. He said: 'I had to look at it (offer) closely as you do with any heritage asset. I was concerned with the impact on the building but once we understood how it would work, we said yes. "The great thing with this castle is we have such an array of different rooms and scenery and I suppose that's what got everyone excited.' 'HE LOVED IT' The son of rock 'n' roll aristocrat Henry Mount Charles, said his dad, who died in June after filming wrapped, was "amused" by goings on in the TV show which sees constant murders, and betrayals. Advertisement Alex said: 'It would take a lot to surprise my dad. He loved the whole thing.' RTE announced that Republic of Telly host Kevin McGahern will host a spin-off show, The Traitors Ireland Uncloaked, in which celebrity guests and players from the game will discuss the latest betrayals, mind games and manipulations. Filmed in RTE Limerick, each episode will feature an exclusive interview with the banished or murdered player. With bonus unseen footage, some will learn the identity of the Traitors for the very first time. 3 The show will air on RTE One later this month Credit: RTE

Traitors winner locked in feud with co-star gives surprise update
The Traitors winner Meryl Williams has lifted the lid on her infamous feud with co-star Maddy Smedley, three years after they came to blows on the hit BBC show Meryl Williams has opened up on her infamous feud with co-star Maddy Smedley. The TV star emerged victorious from the first series of the BBC game show, which sees a group of Faithfuls work together to try to work out who the Traitors are and oust them from the castle, and shared just over £100,000 with two other finalists. But viewers will remember that she had numerous spats with fellow Faithful Maddy, and the fiery clashes over their different opinions made up much of latter half of the series that year. Eventually, Maddy was banished from the castle before the final and now Meryl has spoken out about her time on the show. During a chat on Saturday Night with Hayley Palmer, she said when asked about how she coped with the lying and deceit that came her way: "I think I am a good liar and people think that I'm trustworthy. I thought I wouldn't come across as intimidating but then obviously me and Maddy started having our own tiffs with one another. That started in episode six so [her plan] didn't work." It comes after Richard Osman reveals axed Ant and Dec show was 'expensive car crash'. But when she was asked how things between her and Maddy are now, she confirmed to Hayley: "We are friends now." Elsewhere in the chat with the presenter, Meryl, who stands at 4ft 2 as a result of her achondroplasia, spoke highly of the casting process when she applied to be on the programme in the first place. She added: "The one thing I'll take my hats off to The Traitors is the casting. They are incredible, the inclusion they get for both the celebs and our one is incredible. They have between 21 and 75, non-disabled, visually disabled, non-visually disabled - they just ticked all the boxes!" Prior to finding fame on the show, Maddy actually had experience as an actress but despite that, she later admitted that taking part in the programme was a shock to the system. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, she admitted: "Yeah, I think it was very intense. I think everyone threw themselves into it. "So I realised I'm more of a method actor cause I felt like I was on death row, but then I think everything's heightened. So even you as a person, you're like, who was that? Or did I say that? And then each time I was like, oh my God. Very intense." The intensity of filming The Traitors may have helped in the long run, as Maddy's acting career has gone from strength to strength after leaving the show. She was a guest star in Call the Midwife last Christmas, playing a pregnant, poverty-stricken mother whose family is evicted from their home just as their neighbourhood is gripped by Hong Kong flu on the long-running BBC period medical drama - and fans were overjoyed to see her back on their screens.

The Traitors favourite lands hosting slot on huge new radio show in major career move
BBC series The Traitors has boosted the profile of a number of contestants featured on its three series since the show launched in 2022 and sky-rocketed in popularity A favourite from the popular BBC gameshow The Traitors has landed a huge new radio show in an amazing career turn. The Traitor's star Jaz Singh, who gained huge popularity with fans of the challenge programme after appearing in the second series, is set to host a brand new radio show on BBC Asian Network. Former Faithful Jaz's new show is set to air every Monday to Thursday from 3pm to 6pm. It's a huge step for the TV turned radio star as the gig is his first full-time role as a radio presenter. It comes after a Strictly Come Dancing star pulls out of show as he makes career announcement. Jaz's new radio show will see him feature a mix of music and entertainment and aims to reflect the interests and experiences of British Asian communities. Speaking about the exciting new career turn, Jaz said: "As a finalist on BBC The Traitors to now hosting my own live radio show with BBC Asian Network, I'm beyond grateful to the people that are putting their trust and time into me because this is a dream!! Expect the biggest tunes, good vibes and be prepared to see a side of me you've never witnessed before!" The new show, which is clearly an exciting opportunity for Jaz, will launch in less than a month's time on Monday September 1. Ahmed Hussain, Head of Asian Network, said: "We're entering an exciting new chapter at Asian Network. Jaz Singh's new afternoon show is a key part of our commitment to celebrating British Asian voices and music culture. His energy and charisma are infectious, and I'm confident he'll quickly become a familiar and much-loved presence in our listeners' daily routines." Jaz has made appearances on BBC Asian Network since leaving the Scottish castle, as he's hosted Asian Network Motivation as a rotational presenter as well as covering shows across the network. Meanwhile, he's also featured on BBC Radio 4, hosting a documentary for the radio channel. Jaz was a fan-favourite as he appeared on the second series of the show and he made it all the way to the final roundtable, where he was sadly banished. Jaz was a clever detective for the Faithfuls and was even nicknamed Jazatha Christie during his time in the castle. He was one of the only Faithfuls in the castle who had suspicions about Harry Clark, but he sadly wasn't able to convince the others and Harry got away with the prize money. Fans of the hit BBC show won't have to wait much longer for another taste of Traitors action as a celebrity version of the show has been filmed and is set for release in the autumn. The star-studded line-up includes Stephen Fry, Tom Daley, Clare Balding, Alan Carr, Bob Mortimer, Lucy Beaumont, Mark Bonnar, Cat Burns, Charlotte Church, Ruth Codd, Tameka Empson, Paloma Faith, Kate Garraway, Celia Imrie, Joe Marler and many more.

'The Traitors' Is Coming Back for Season 4: Everything to Know
'The Traitors' Is Coming Back for Season 4: Everything to Know originally appeared on Parade. Season 3 of The Traitors may have just ended a few months ago, but we're already ready for Season 4! Peacock's Emmy Award-winning reality TV sensation became a surprise success after its winter release back in 2023. But since then it's slowly built up quite the fan base. The US version of the show, hosted by Alan Cumming has been THE water cooler TV show of 2025, becoming streaming's most watched reality competition series yet again. Season 4 has begun filming but we won't see any Faithfuls or Traitors on our TV screens for quite some time. That doesn't mean we're not thinking ahead though. Will there be a Season 4? When will it air? Who will be in the cast? Will Cumming succeed in casting Martha Stewart or the Spice Girls? Here's everything we know about The Traitors Season 4. 🎬 🎬 Yes! Cheers to Marcus and Cheers to The Traitors (we promise, it's not weird). On Aug. 14, 2024, ahead of Season 3's release, Peacock announced that the show would be returning for Seasons 4 and 5. The news was far from shocking given how successful the series has been to date, but now Peacock has confirmed a fourth round. Season 4 of The Traitors hasn't announced its premiere date yet. But all three past seasons of the show have premiered in early January, so we'll likely see Season 4 hitting Peacock in early 2026. You can watch Seasons 1, 2 and 3 of The Traitors exclusively on Peacock. Season 4 will air there as well? Related: The rules for Season 4 will likely work similarly to the rules for Season 1-3. A group of contestants (now comprised solely of reality TV celebs unlike Season 1) will enter the Scottish mansion where one group will be designated as "Traitors." The remaining players will be the "Faithful." Each week the Traitors will be given the opportunity to "murder" one of their fellow players, eliminating them from the game. Then at the end of each week, the remaining contestants will vote to "banish" one of the remaining players in hopes of eliminating a Traitor. Along the way, the group will amass a prize pot of cash in challenges. At the end of the game, if the Faithfuls have eliminated all the Traitors, they will split the prize pot, but if a Traitor remains, they will take home the whole pot. Yes! The Emmy Award-winning host will indeed be returning for Season 4 of the show. He's a producer as well as a host so it would seem unlikely that he'd part ways from the franchise anytime soon. Related: Peacock announced the cast of Season 4 on June 13, 2025 ahead of the show's filming. The cast includes the following: Yes. Season 4 of The Traitors will stream on Peacock like Seasons 1-3. No. Since Season 4 hasn't finished filming yet, there is not a trailer. We likely won't see one until late 2025. Yes! In August 2024, Peacock renewed The Traitors for an additional two seasons with Alan Cumming attached to host. Related: For the first time in The Traitors history, Season 3 ended with four winners. The four Faithfuls all voted to end the game in the first round of the Fire of Truth, which left them splitting the prize pot. There are currently 3 seasons of The Traitors that have been released, with another two seasons scheduled to arrive in the coming years. Related: Yes! At the Emmys, The Traitors has scooped up three awards. Not only did it win Outstanding Casting for a Reality Program at the 2023 Emmys (which were passed out in 2024), but Alan Cumming earned an Emmy for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program and the show won Outstanding Reality Competition Program at the 2024 Emmys (also passed out in 2024).'The Traitors' Is Coming Back for Season 4: Everything to Know first appeared on Parade on Jun 13, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 13, 2025, where it first appeared.
