The Traitors UK, US and Australia lands on RTÉ Player today
The triple whammy gives Irish viewers a chance to get to know the psychological reality competition, with The Traitors UK season one also airing on RTÉ2 from 2 July.
The show sees a group of strangers arrive at a remote castle to play the ultimate game of deception, betrayal and trust, all in the hope of winning a cash prize.
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.
Filming has concluded on The Traitors Ireland and it will air on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player this Autumn with Derry Girls star Siobhán McSweeney as host and Slane Castle as the venue.
The show will feature contestants from all around the country, following a national casting call for applications last year.
In The Traitors UK, 22 strangers descend upon a remote Scottish castle, with Claudia Winkleman as presenter in a game of strategy and suspicion.
The Traitors US is hosted by Scottish actor Alan Cumming and sees 20 players face off in the ultimate murder mystery game, where manipulation is key and a cash prize is up for grabs.
24 contestants enter a grand heritage hotel for The Traitors Australia to form uneasy alliances and brave psychological challenges to claim a cash prize with Rodger Corser as host.
Since its launch in the Netherlands in 2021, The Traitors format has had 30 international versions and numerous returning seasons.
Hit adaptations of the format include the Emmy-winning US version for NBC Universal's streaming service Peacock and BBC One's BAFTA-winning version in the UK, which drew in 8 million viewers for the season two finale.
The US versions will return for a third, fourth and fifth season and the UK version has been commissioned for a fourth season and celebrity version.

Oasis 'Lidl by Lidl' jacket with bottle opener zipper on sale for reunion tour
Lidl has released a special edition Oasis-inspired jacket that has cooling pockets and a bottle opener zipper. A month before the band takes to the stage in Ireland for its highly-anticipated reunion tour, the supermarket has released the perfect coat for a night at Croke Park. Showcasing its iconic colours - blue, yellow and red - the waterproof 'Lidl by Lidl' coat is inspired by Liam Gallagher's fashion sense. Last year, he starred in a Berghaus campaign which saw him model a jacket similar to Lidl's brand colours. Fans were perplexed, saying it could fit right into the supermarket's merchandise line. After listening to what the customers wanted, Lidl decided to create the iconic jacket that will be sold online on on July 9 for €35. Customers are told in order to guarantee a limited edition jacket, they should log on at 10am. All proceeds from the 'Lidl by Lidl' jacket will go to the supermarket's charity partner, Family Carers Ireland. Not only does the waterproof coat have two cooling pockets to stop cans getting warm and a bottle opener zipper, it also comes with a tambourine for spontaneous jamming sessions. Speaking about the release, Corporate Affairs Director of Lidl Ireland Eimear O'Sullivan said: 'The Croke Park gigs are the most hotly anticipated gigs of the summer and now Oasis fans can relive 90s nostalgia and commemorate a piece of Irish rock and roll history with the limited-edition Lidl by Lidl jacket. 'Not only does it look the part, but it comes with fun features to enhance your live music experience including insulated pockets to keep drinks cool and a handy bottle opener attached to the zip. 'We're thrilled to launch the ultimate throwback jacket that's sure to be a hit with both Oasis and Lidl fans. We can't wait to see fans fill Croke Park kitted out in this summer's must-have merch.'
