House of Villains is stocking the mansion with a fresh batch of reality-TV agitators for Season 3—while also keeping one familiar face in the mix. Peacock and multiple major outlets confirmed the new lineup as the series prepares to move to Peacock for its next chapter, which is slated to arrive in early 2026.
Hosted once again by Joel McHale, the competition brings together notorious personalities from across the reality-TV universe to outmaneuver one another for a $200,000 prize and the title of “America’s Ultimate Supervillain.”
The House of Villains Season 3 cast
Peacock’s official cast rollout and trade coverage confirm 11 competitors, pulled from franchises spanning Big Brother, Survivor, The Challenge, Vanderpump Rules, Selling Sunset, and more.
Tiffany “New York” Pollard (Flavor of Love, I Love New York)
The only contestant to appear in every season so far, Pollard returns for another run after falling short in Seasons 1 and 2.
Tom Sandoval (Vanderpump Rules)
A headline-generating Bravo figure joining the cast as the show leans into big personalities with built-in fan bases (and baggage).
Christine Quinn (Selling Sunset)
A breakout from Netflix’s real-estate soap with a reputation for turning conflict into storyline fuel.
Kate Chastain (Below Deck, The Traitors)
A sharp-tongued strategist with competition-show experience—useful currency in a format built around alliances and social positioning.
Tyson Apostol (Survivor)
A former Survivor winner whose reputation for gameplay makes him one of the season’s most watchable “schemer vs. schemer” additions.
Paul Abrahamian (Big Brother)
A Big Brother alum stepping into a house format that rewards paranoia, partnerships, and well-timed power moves.
Ashley Mitchell (The Challenge)
A proven competitor from MTV’s endurance-and-politics arena—exactly the kind of résumé that tends to translate to this series’ backroom dynamics.
Johnny Middlebrooks (Love Island USA, The Challenge)
A crossover reality presence whose casting signals the show’s continued appetite for big personalities from dating and competition formats.
Plane Jane (RuPaul’s Drag Race)
A Drag Race standout entering a cast that thrives on confessionals, confrontation, and quick wit—skills that often play well in this house.
Jackie Christie (Basketball Wives)
A veteran of ensemble reality TV, where long memories and shifting loyalties are part of the job description.
Drita D’Avanzo (Mob Wives)
A throwback pick with a strong reality-TV legacy—one of the names that immediately positions Season 3 as a “big personalities only” lineup.
When it premieres and where to watch
Season 3 is expected to debut on Peacock in early 2026, and NBC’s coverage notes the season will run 10 episodes.
