Hazbin Hotel

Hazbin Hotel is an American adult animated musical comedy television series created, directed, and executive-produced by Vivienne "VivziePop" Medrano. The series revolves around Charlie Morningstar, crown princess of Hell, on her quest to find a way for sinners to be "redeemed" and allowed into Heaven via her "Hazbin Hotel" as an alternative to Heaven's annual "Extermination" of souls due to Hell's overpopulation. The series is produced by SpindleHorse in collaboration with A24, Amazon MGM Studios, and the animation studio Bento Box Entertainment.

Medrano began funding her work on Hazbin Hotel via Patreon in 2014. The pilot episode, released on YouTube on October 28, 2019, was made entirely by freelance animators, and was mainly financed by Medrano's Patreon followers. The first season premiered on Amazon Prime Video on January 19, 2024, with its first episode also released on YouTube a day earlier for a limited release. The second season premiered on October 29, 2025, while a third and fourth season are confirmed to be in production. The series has received generally positive reviews from critics.

The popularity and success of the pilot allowed Medrano to create a spin-off series called Helluva Boss, which premiered on October 31, 2020. The series features a different cast of characters within the same in-universe setting. As of January 2024, Hazbin Hotel was the largest global debut for a new animated series on Prime Video. In February 2024, the pilot episode surpassed 100 million views on YouTube.

The series follows Charlie Morningstar, the princess of Hell, as she sets about fulfilling her seemingly impossible dream of opening a hotel called the "Hazbin Hotel", which aims to rehabilitate sinner demons. Due to overpopulation, Hell goes through an annual purge where angels, led by Adam, descend from Heaven and kill sinners. Charlie finds this distressing, and wants to find a more peaceful solution to the overpopulation problem. Her goal is to have her clients "check out" from Hell as redeemed souls and be accepted into Heaven.

With the help of her devoted girlfriend, Vaggie, and their reluctant first patron, pornographic film actor Angel Dust, she is determined to make her dream become a reality. But when her proposal on live television goes awry, her plan attracts the attention of the powerful "Radio Demon" Alastor who, finding her belief in redemption laughable, helps Charlie run the hotel for his own amusement.

Mick Lauer, Zach Hadel, and Richard Steven Horvitz provide additional voices.

Some characters of the pilot had been around for years when Medrano began working with people at School of Visual Arts on what would later become Hazbin Hotel, as the "Misfit Demon Gang" in Medrano's webcomic series ZooPhobia. Originally, the pilot was meant to be an adult comedy "with a raunchy, demonic aesthetic". It took over six months to write the episode, and over two years to animate it, with teasers released in that ensuing period to garner an audience of fans. The series contains various LGBTQ+ characters. This includes a gay character named Angel Dust, a bisexual character named Charlie, and an asexual character named Alastor.

The show's pilot episode was released on Medrano's YouTube channel in October 2019, and it gained 54 million views by early February 2021. Almost a year later, A24 picked up Hazbin Hotel for the production of a TV series in August 2020.
