House of Villains season 2 trailer reveals
Published on March 04, 2026 EDT

House of Villains season 2 is going to be a battle of the egos.

The first trailer for the return of E!'s reality competition series is here, and the hilarious footage reveals that first Survivor winner Richard Hatch and three-time The Challenge champion Wes Bergmann are both going to try to prove that they're the "mastermind" of the game.

But Tiffany "New York" Pollard might actually have both of them beat, as the returning season 1 player gets into fights with everyone in her attempt at redemption — especially with Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Teresa Giudice. That's right, it's New York vs. New Jersey!

E! Entertainment

House of Villains is back for another installment in the same house with the same host — Joel McHale — but with an all-new cast of villains, including Richard "gives no f---s" Hatch, self-declared "certified genius" Wes, Flavor of Love's New York, The Bachelor alum Victoria Larson, Big Brother's "Mr. Pec-tacular" a.k.a. Jessie Godderz, 90 Day Fiancé's Larissa Lima, RuPaul’s Drag Race's Kandy Muse, Bad Girls Club's Camilla Poindexter, and Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta's Safaree.

The cast of villains must compete in challenges and handle new twists thrown at them as they scheme, strategize, and shade each other for a chance to win $200,000 and the title of "America’s Ultimate Supervillain." Surprise guests include Janice Dickinson, Tori Spelling, and the return of season 1 villains Bobby Lytes and Jax Taylor.

The trailer also reveals that New York wants to go toe-to-toe with Richard, and that means we get reality TV gold like this interaction:

New York: "I'm going to ride you until you tell me the truth."

Richard (shirtless, naturally): "Ride me then."

New York: "Your Prince Albert couldn't take it, but I'm still going to give it a try."

Richard: "Okay... I don't know what that means."
