Peacock’s “House of Villains” Sets Sinister Season 3 Premiere Date — Get Ready for Reality’s Most Deliciously Chaotic Return

Grab your popcorn and your shady alliances, House of Villains is officially stalking its way back onto screens with Season 3 and Peacock has dropped the release date that reality TV fans have been gossiping about. The much‑anticipated third installment of the hit competition series will make its wicked debut on Thursday, February 26, 2026, giving schemers and shade‑throwers a new lair to wreak havoc.

After two seasons of backstabbing brilliance on E!, House of Villains has found a new home on Peacock, where it will join the streamer’s growing lineup of reality juggernauts. Joel McHale returns as host, ready to referee yet another influx of egos, alliances and delicious betrayals.

The Season 3 premiere is playing coy by dropping the first three episodes all at once on launch night, a clever bait‑and‑switch that ensures viewers won’t have to wait to dive into the scheming right away. Following that bold opening, episodes will roll out weekly on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT beginning March 5.

As always, the stakes are ludicrously high: 11 infamous reality TV personalities will live together, compete in brutal challenges and strategize to avoid that dreaded Hit List for a shot at the $200,000 grand prize and the title of “America’s Ultimate Supervillain.” 

This season’s lineup reads like a greatest hits of reality drama. Returning fan favorite Tiffany “New York” Pollard brings her signature energy, while a cavalcade of memorable names from Big Brother, Survivor, The Challenge, Below Deck, Basketball Wives, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Love Island, and Selling Sunset promise fresh chaos and crossover tension.

Full cast includes: Paul Abrahamian (“Big Brother”), Tyson Apostol (“The Challenge” and “Survivor”), Kate Chastain (“Below Deck” and “The Traitors”), Jackie Christie (“Basketball Wives”), Drita D’Avanzo (“Mob Wives”), Plane Jane (“RuPaul’s Drag Race”) Johnny Middlebrooks (“Love Island” and “The Challenge”), Ashley Mitchell (“The Challenge”), Christine Quinn (“Selling Sunset”)  and Tom Sandoval (“The Traitors” and “Vanderpump Rules”).

Peacock’s move has injected a fresh jolt into the franchise, giving longtime watchers and new viewers alike a chance to binge both previous seasons and the upcoming run without channel hopping. Whether you’re Team Villain or Team Eye‑Roll‑At‑Villain, Season 3 looks primed to serve up theatrics with that signature blend of strategy and shade.

Get ready to witness more alliances crumble, more blindsides land and more iconic reality personas clash; all beginning Feb. 26, 2026 on Peacock. If you thought the villainy was intense before, just wait.
