HostJoel McHaleconfirmed in a January interview withPEOPLE andEntertainment Weeklyon the 2023Emmy Awardsred carpet that a second season ofHouse of Villainswas coming.

“It was bananas, it was Johnny Bananas,” the 52-year-old comedian said of filming the show’s first season. “The energy coming off of that group could power a large city. We didn’t know what was gonna happen. You get Tanisha and Johnny Bananas and Omarosa and Jonny Fairplay, and it was really great.”

He went on to say that hosting the series took a lot because the energy of the group was “nuclear powered.”

“It was super fun. They were a really good group,” he said, joking that season 2 should have the same cast. “I say take the same cast and just have them continue to compete.”
