House of Villains centers around 11 contestants, branded as villains from other reality shows like Survivor, Big Brother, Below Deck, Love Island, and The Traitors. These contestants will live together while competing in physical and mental challenges. At the end of each week, one contestant becomes Supervillain of the Week, earning immunity and other rewards.
The Supervillain also has the power to nominate three players for elimination, termed “Banishment.” The last villain standing at the end of the season earns the title of America’s Ultimate Supervillain, along with a cash prize of $200,000.
Similar to the first two seasons, Season 3 will be hosted by Community star, Joel McHale. McHale has been associated with E! since the early 2000s, when he started hosting The Soup. The 54-year-old has an extensive hosting experience from several other reality shows and competitions, including his Netflix show, The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale.
