RTÉ have announced Sunday, August 31 as the broadcast date for Ireland's version of the hit reality TV show which has already made waves in the UK and US.
The Traitors was originally commissioned in the Netherlands and pits three mystery 'Traitors' in a large group of contestants against the 'Faithful' others, with all contestants voting on who they think are the Traitors, resulting in the person receiving the most votes being banished. And there's €50,000 on the table for the person who survives all the votes and reaches the end of the show, whether they are a Traitor or a Faithful.
