Siobhán McSweeney reveals that the show's success stems from its accurate portrayal of contemporary Ireland, with the upcoming season set to expand on its hit formula.

The production of 'The Traitors Ireland' has been refused permission to film its new series at the ancient heritage sites of Knowth and Dowth, with Fáilte Ireland intervening after the OPW deemed the plans unsuitable for the 'highly sensitive' monuments.

Creator Siobhán McSweeney confirms that Gaelic will feature prominently in the upcoming season, building on positive audience reception to the language's inclusion in the first series.

The new season of 'The Traitors Ireland' is set to premiere on August 30 on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, featuring a new cast of players in a game of deception at Slane Castle.
