How to watch ‘The Traitors Ireland’ in the UK 

The Irish version of The Traitors has launched, but how can fans of the show in the UK watch along? Find out below.

The first season of the country’s iteration of the hit reality show premiered on Sunday (August 31), with Derry Girls actor Siobhán McSweeney taking on hosting duties.

The show was filmed at Slane Castle in County Meath earlier this year, with all 24 contestants being holed up together. A small group are selected to be ‘Traitors’ who have to stay undetected while they secretly try to ‘murder’ the ‘Faithful’, who in turn try to work together to eliminate the traitors. The contestants also work together to complete challenges and earn a €50,000 cash prize.

There have been three seasons of the UK version of The Traitors, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, with the first celebrity season – featuring the likes of Stephen Fry, Jonathan Ross, Charlotte Church and Paloma Faith – set to air on the BBC in October.

Casting for the fourth regular UK season also opened earlier this year, with the filming set to take place before Christmas ahead of an expected January release date.

The series kicked off on Sunday night (August 31) on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player in the Republic of Ireland, the country’s flagship television and streaming services.

While RTÉ One and RTÉ Player are also available with many TV packages in Northern Ireland, they are not available for viewers in the rest of the UK.

As it stands, there is no other platform on which British viewers will be able to watch The Traitors Ireland. Some countries’ versions of the show have been acquired by BBC iPlayer – including the US and New Zealand – but there is no news to date about this happening for the Irish version.
