How to watch The Traitors Ireland season 2
Season 1 of The Traitors Ireland was one of the more emotional and brutal iterations of the show, as Faithfuls Kelley Higgins, Oyin Adeyemi and Vanessa Ogbonna fought their way to the grand prize. It also made a star out of retired prison officer Paudie Moloney, more recently seen in Ireland’s version of Dancing with the Stars.
Now the iconic reality gameshow is back, with host Siobhán McSweeney welcoming a new class of Faithfuls and Traitors to Slane Castle, battling it out both physically and mentally in the hopes of bagging a potential €50,000 prize.
Season 2 is already proving to be just as explosive as the first outing, with RTÉ teasing: “With new twists, new gameplay and plenty of surprises in store, audiences can expect all the drama, intrigue, treachery and unforgettable moments that make The Traitors Ireland unmissable.”
The Traitors Ireland season 2 premiered on August 30 in Ireland, with international release dates yet to be confirmed.

Where to watch The Traitors Ireland S2 in the UK
While a version of RTÉ Player is available to viewers across the Irish sea, the UK iteration of the platform doesn't host Traitors Ireland.
But, UK fans can still watch season 1 for FREE via BBC iPlayer, although season 2 isn't likely to drop for a little while yet.
Can I watch The Traitors Ireland S2 in the US?
Peacock is the home of all things Traitors in the US, however Traitors Ireland is yet to arrive on the streamer. With season 1 still banished, we wouldn't expect season 2 to arrive any time soon.
Where to watch The Traitors Ireland S2 in Canada
Traitors Ireland streams on Crave in Canada. Season 1 arrived pretty soon after its Irish debut, so while we wouldn't expect new episodes immediately, we can't imagine there will be too long of a delay for season 2.
Where to watch The Traitors Ireland S2 in Australia
The good news for Aussies is that Traitors Ireland season 2 will stream for FREE on 10Play. The bad news is that with the first season only arriving recently, viewers could be in for a bit of a wait.

The Traitors Ireland S2 latest
The Faithful's winning streak came to an end as the remaining original Traitor and their recruited partner still loom large as the endgame edges closer.
Following the murder-in-plain-sight, Pauric was almost busted, albeit for the wrong reason. But when potential victim Janet returned to breakfast, suspicion was dropped. That was until the task confirmed it was indeed Janet who'd be murdered, and all eyes fell on the Traitor newbie.
Leaning on a 'set up' defence, Pauric managed to convince enough of the group that it ended up being DJ who was banished that night, but these things have a habit of coming back around. And with a ceremonial dagger now in play, giving the holder two Round Table votes, Carla may see this as her opportunity to enter the final stretch alone...
