House of Villains has a new home. The reality show is to become a Peacock original after it was renewed for a third season for the streamer, moving away from its original home E! after it was spunoff by its parent company.
Comcast recently spun off its cable networks, including E!, USA Network and Syfy, launching Versant.
House of Villains becomes the first original series changing hands as a result of the corporate move.
The series, which is hosted by Joel McHale, brings together 11 reality all-stars who must scheme, strategize and shade each other in different challenges for a chance to win $200,000 and the title of “America’s Ultimate Supervillain.” It will launch its third season on Peacock in early 2026.
House of Villains comes from Irwin Entertainment and the ten-part series is exec produced by McHale, John Irwin, Dave Kuba, Justin Rae Barnes, David Mills, and Jessica O’Brien.
It forms part of Peacock’s latest slate.
The streamer revealed that it has also ordered docuseries Tiffany Haddish Goes Off as well as a number of true-crime docs.
Tiffany Haddish Goes Off is a six-part series that follows the comedian and her three closest childhood girlfriends as they travel together on a 4-week-long girls’ trip of a lifetime, exploring Africa and their connection to the continent. It also stars Selena Martin, Shermona Long and Sparkle Clark.
The series, which launches in the fall, is produced by Jeff Jenkins Productions and Will Packer Media and exec produced by Jenkins, Haddish, Packer, Reinout Oerlemans, Ross Weintraub, Russell Jay Staglik, Richard Brown, Shondrella Avery, Henry Butler, Leah Butler, JJ Duncan and Natalie Neurater.
True-crime docs include Gilgo Beach Killer: The House of Secrets, a three-part series about the eponymous killer, which launches in June. It is produced by Texas Crew Productions alongside 50 Cent’s G-Unit Film & Television and New York Post Entertainment and is exec produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, David Karabinas, Troy Searer, Colleen Hall, Jamie Lustberg, Melissa Moore, Jared P. Scott, and Brad Bernstein.
The Idaho Student Murders focuses on the case against Bryan Kohberger, a young criminology student accused of brutally stabbing to death four University of Idaho coeds. Premiering this summer, it is based on the The Idaho Massacre podcast, exec produced by Stephanie Lydecker and directed by Catharine Park.
Elsewhere, the streamer confirmed Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together, an eight-part series that Deadline revealed earlier this year.
It also has Epic Ride: The Story of Universal Theme Parks, from Universal Television Alternative Studio and showrunner John Marks.
