Telemundo is set to premiere its latest reality show, *Juego de Villanos*, on October 20, 2026, featuring a cast of 18 notorious figures from the entertainment world. The show is adapted from the international format *House of Villains* and centers around a high-stakes game of strategy, alliances, and betrayal. Contestants include a diverse mix of actors, singers, social influencers, and reality TV veterans, all competing under the guidance of host Facundo, who maintains order amid the spirited and often chaotic interactions.

The gameplay challenges participants with intense tasks and eliminations, requiring them to be strategic, manipulative, and cunning to advance. Contestants form shifting alliances and rivalries, navigating through a volatile environment where every decision can have major repercussions. Ultimately, only one can earn the prestigious title of "Emperador Villano" and claim the $200,000 grand prize, motivating fierce competition throughout the series.

Telemundo announced the cast in two waves, highlighting notable names such as Sergio Mayer, a Mexican actor and former reality contestant; Alicia Machado, Miss Universe and reality veteran; and Alex Caniggia, an Argentine TV personality known for his provocative style. Other standout participants include Aleska Génesis, Lis Vega, Sandra Itzel, and Julia Argüelles, each bringing a unique flair and competitive edge. The lineup is designed to showcase personalities who are well-versed in navigating the complexities and drama of reality television.

Produced by Banijay Colombia for Telemundo, *Juego de Villanos* is overseen by Adrián Santucho and Pancho Calvo at Telemundo, with Harold Sánchez and Hernán Huñis handling executive and showrunner roles for Banijay. The series will air weeknights and Sundays with episodes also available on the Telemundo app and streaming on Peacock the day after broadcast. This show represents Telemundo’s continued investment in expanding its footprint in competitive unscripted programming.
