Overview

House of Villains features 10 of reality television's most infamous villains living together and competing to be the last villain standing to win a cash prize of $200,000 and the title of America's Ultimate Supervillain. Each week, contestants compete in a Battle Royale challenge to test the players physically, mentally, and emotionally. The winner of the Battle Royale challenge is named Supervillain of the Week and wins immunity for the week, a luxury reward for themselves and two other villains, and the power to nominate three of their fellow players for banishment by putting them on the Hit List. The three nominees then compete in the Redemption Challenge, with the winner saving themselves from the Hit List. At the Banishment Ceremony, the house votes to banish one of the two remaining Hit List nominees. The villains build alliances, scheme, manipulate, and backstab as they are eliminated one by one until only one remains and is crowned America's Ultimate Supervillain.

Production and release

Filming for the series began in early February 2023 at The Valley Villa in Los Angeles.[14][15] House of Villains was officially announced by NBCUniversal, E!'s parent company, on May 9, 2023. Joel McHale was revealed to be the host of the series on the same day.[16] The series is produced by Irwin Entertainment with John Irwin, Dave Kuba, Eli Frankel, and Matt Odgers serving as executive producers.[17] In August 2023, E! revealed the first season's cast and announced the series would premiere on October 12, 2023. The series premiere aired simultaneously on E!'s sister channels Bravo, Syfy, and USA Network.[1] On September 7, 2023, an official trailer was released.[18] On January 18, 2024, E! renewed the series for a second season.[19]

Ratings

The series premiere of House of Villains was watched by 1.2 million viewers across all platforms over the course of one week, with 500,000 of those viewers being in the adults 18–49 key demographic, making it E!'s most successful series launch since The Bradshaw Bunch in 2020.[20]

Notes

  1. Bobby originally won Supervillain of the Week but decided to nominate himself on the Hit List.
  2. For this round there was no banishment vote. Instead, whichever two villains remained on The Hit List after losing the Redemption Challenge were automatically banished.
  3. As Anfisa received no votes to win, she broke the jury's tie to determine the winner.
  4. Bobby was not present with the jury for the finale and therefore did not cast a jury vote for one of the final three.
  5. Combined total viewers from simultaneous airings of the series premiere on E!, Bravo, Syfy, and USA Network.[4]
  6. Pollard is returning to the series, having previously competed on House of Villians 1.
