The House of Villains drama is going to be intense even after episodes drop.
Survivor star and House of Villains competitor Tyson Apostol will host The Official House of Villains Podcast, which will debut following the season 3 premiere of the series on Thursday, Feb. 26, Entertainment Weekly can exclusively announce.
On each episode, Apostol — who’s competed on Survivor four times and won 2013’s Survivor: Blood vs. Water — will interview one of his costars on the series about the reality TV baddies that audiences love to hate.
In EW’s exclusive teaser for the new podcast (below), Apostol promises that listeners will find out what’s “really going on in the mind of your favorite TV villains.”
Peacock’s official description of the pod adds: “Each week, Tyson invites a fellow season 3 villain to unpack their strategic betrayals, shifting alliances, and iconic meltdowns – diving into the psychology of villainy and savoring the act of making excellent reality TV. Get the real story behind the biggest moves each week, and learn what it truly takes to survive in a house of professional villains.”
The series, in which infamous TV villains compete for a $200,000 prize and the pride of being “America’s Favorite Supervillain,” announced its season 3 cast in May.

House of Villains host Joel McHale has confirmed that hosting the series requires a lot of energy. All that strategy and backstabbing!
“You have to have a few energy drinks before,” he told Entertainment Weekly in 2024 following the first season. “It was nuclear powered.”
House of Villains season 3 premieres Feb. 26 on Peacock, its new home after previously airing on E!. Podcast episodes will be available after each episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all other podcast platforms.
