‘House of Villains’ season 2 release window, cast, and more

House of Villains, the competition series where reality TV’s biggest baddies fight for first place, will return for a second series, after a smash-hit first season. As confirmed in a report by Variety, the series has been renewed by the E! network, with production set to begin soon. Last season saw an all-star cast, including Jax Taylor from Vanderpump Rules, Tiffany “New York” Pollard, and 90 Day Fiancé’s Anfisa Arkhipchenko competing for the crown of TV’s most devious villain.

However, it was Bad Girls’ Club’s Tanisha Thomas who came out on top, taking home the title after weeks of mental and physical challenges, and surviving the twists, turns and all-round backstabbing when it came to the peer-chosen eliminations. Here’s what we know about the newly-announced season so far.

House of Villains season 2 release window

According to Variety, the E! network plans to release House of Villains season 2 sometime “this year” – although no exact date was confirmed. However, the entertainment outlet did confirm that production will begin in Feb. 2024.

As the last season ended in December last year, filming probably hasn’t begun for the new season just yet — as the production stage also includes casting, location scouting, etc. However, if they are planning to stay consistent with scheduling this show, we can expect season 2 to arrive by wintertime, possibly in Oct. 2024, exactly a year after the first season began airing.

House of Villains season 2 cast

As revealed by an exclusive report by Entertainment Weekly, the cast of season 2 of House of Villains has recently been revealed, as of April 2024. The Challenge star Wes Bergman was the first to be revealed, alongside Real Housewives of New Jersey legend Teresa Giudice, who will likely be playing up the criminal aspect of her villain status, as she served 11 months in prison for fraud in 2015. Equally iconic is Flavor of Love alum Tiffany Pollard, who is arguably more famous for providing the internet with countless reaction gifs and memes.

Also joining the cast is Safaree from Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, as well as Survivor’s Richard Hatch, and wrestler Jessie Godderz, who appeared on two seasons of Big Brother USA. Following in the footsteps of fellow 90 Day Fiancé alum Anfisa is Larissa Lima, whose temper equals that of her predecessor, as well as Kandy Muse of RuPaul’s Drag Race fame, who was accused of bullying fellow cast members of the show. From the appropriately titled Bad Girls Club, Camilla Poindexter will be competing for the big prize this series.
