The contestants live together in Villa Villana, where challenges, alliances and betrayals decide who stays. The villains vote each other out themselves, and two contestants leave every week. Every Sunday, special guests known for famous villain roles visit the villa. The last player standing is crowned Villano Máximo and wins the $200,000 cash prize.
The show is produced by Banijay Colombia for Telemundo and is based on House of Villains, the NBCUniversal Formats competition now on Peacock.
