How Does Juego de Villanos Work on Telemundo?

According to an official Telemundo announcement, Juego de Villanos premiered Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT.

The reality show brings together 18 celebrities in Villa Villana, with Facundo as host. Each week, two contestants face elimination through votes cast by their fellow competitors.

Sandra acknowledged that this format presents an additional challenge because viewers do not determine who remains in the competition.

"I won't change my personality for $200,000 or just to advance in the competition," she insisted.

The actress emphasized that her previous experiences have taught her to handle conflicts without resorting to insults, an approach she hopes to maintain throughout the show.

"Being a villain because of life's circumstances is one thing, and being a bad person is another," she concluded when discussing her participation.
