Hazbin Hotel is an American adult animated musical comedy streaming television series created by Vivienne "VivziePop" Medrano.[1][3] The series revolves around Charlie Morningstar, princess of Hell, on her quest to find a way for demons to be "rehabilitated" and allowed into Heaven. She opens a rehabilitation hotel, called "Hazbin Hotel", which offers demons a chance at redemption. The series is produced by independent entertainment company A24 and animation studio Bento Box Entertainment, in collaboration with Amazon Studios.[4]

The pilot episode, which was released on YouTube on October 28, 2019, was made entirely by freelance animators and was largely financed by Medrano's Patreon followers.[5][6][7] The first season premiered on Amazon Prime Video on January 18, 2024,[8][a] with its first episode also released on YouTube on that same day for a limited release.[9] A second season is confirmed to be in production. It 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.

Premise

The series follows Charlie Morningstar (voiced by Erika Henningsen), the princess of Hell, as she sets about fulfilling her seemingly impossible dream of opening a hotel called "Hazbin Hotel," which aims to rehabilitate sinners. Due to overpopulation, Hell goes through an annual purge where angels, led by Adam (voiced by Alex Brightman), descend from Heaven and kill demons. Charlie finds this upsetting, 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.[10]

With the help of her devoted manager and girlfriend, Vaggie (voiced by Stephanie Beatriz) and their reluctant first patron, pornographic film actor Angel Dust (voiced by Blake Roman) 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 (voiced by Amir Talai) who, despite finding her belief in redemption laughable, wants to help Charlie run the hotel for his own amusement.

Taking place one week after the events of the pilot, Charlie reveals in a backstory that Lucifer was originally an angel that fell in love with Lilith, the first woman. After being cast out from Heaven, they created Hell. To make sure the sinners of hell don't rebel, Heaven creates the annual extermination to keep them in line. As Hell is still recovering from the last extermination, Charlie mentions that she has not seen or heard from Lilith in seven years. Later, Charlie receives a call from her father asking her to take his place in his annual meeting with Heaven. Charlie pitches Adam, leader of the exterminations of Hell, her plan to save sinners through redemption in her hotel. Her pitch is ignored and laughed at. Meanwhile, Vaggie, Charlie's girlfriend, enlists the staff of the hotel to make a commercial to promote the hotel, but the final product is cut short by news that the angels have moved the date of the next extermination to six months from the present date. Lute, Adam's second-in-command, reveals to Adam the corpse of an exterminator killed in Hell. Adam hints that he wants revenge on Hell for what they did to the exterminator.

When a trio of powerful overlords known as the Vees (Vox, Valentino, and Velvette) find out that Alastor, a powerful demon and another overlord, is back after being gone for seven years, Vox tries to send a warning to him, but it backfires when Alastor sends his own warning to Vox. The Vees then decide to try to destroy the hotel from the inside. Vox enlists a demon named Sir Pentious to spy on the hotel by posing as a hotel guest. As Sir Pentious is getting adjusted to the operations of the hotel, Angel Dust, another resident of the hotel and Hell's most popular porn star, feels saddened that Charlie doesn't believe he can change. Angel Dust later finds out that Sir Pentious is working for Vox. He tells this to the rest of the hotel staff, and while he and Vaggie try to kill Sir Pentious, Charlie forgives him and gives him a second chance after witnessing Vox yelling at him for failing. Sir Pentious accepts the offer.

To help Sir Pentious improve as a person, Vaggie insists that he gets rid of his egg minions, whom he refers to as his "Egg Boiz," much to Pentious' dismay. She asks Alastor to get rid of them, but before he can, he runs into Zestial, an ancient overlord, who invites him to a meeting for the overlords of Hell. During the meeting, Velvette shows the other overlords the head of a dead exterminator angel, suggesting they go to war with Heaven. This idea is shot down by Zestial, who fears a war between Heaven and Hell would lead to more deaths. Velvette insults Zestial, but is kicked out by Carmilla Carmine, an overlord who controls Hell's weapon supplies. Later on, it's revealed that Carmilla killed the exterminator to protect her daughters, which is overheard by one of Sir Pentious’ Egg Boiz. They relay the message to Alastor, who tells them to keep it a secret for now. Meanwhile, Charlie leads trust exercises at the hotel. Vaggie worries that the group won't be ready when the next extermination happens. However, when Charlie tells Vaggie she feels that Vaggie is going too far in her methods, the two talk it out, and discover their friends actually bonded over the experience. In the end, Charlie and Vaggie let Sir Pentious keep his Egg Boiz.

Angel Dust leaves the hotel to film a porn film for his boss, Valentino. While shooting, Charlie arrives and tries to bring Angel back to the hotel, but Valentino beats Angel, reminds him that he owns Angel's soul, and forces him to make her leave. Angel continues filming, and is constantly assaulted by Valentino and other workers. When he gets back to the hotel, he gets into an argument with Husk, the hotel bartender who had earlier accused him of being “fake,” and leaves to go to a bar, unknowingly followed by Husk at Charlie's insistence. Husk saves Angel from getting drugged by Valentino's workers, but Angel lashes out at him for saving him, revealing that he purposely lets Valentino assault him so that when he is broken and ruined, Valentino will stop using him. Husk reveals that he was once an overlord whose gambling addiction led him to make a deal with Alastor in order to keep his power, thus trapping him in a similar situation to Angel Dust. Realizing they share the collective experience, the two form a friendship. Arriving back at the hotel, Angel thanks Charlie for caring about him, making her emotional.

Charlie spends all night trying to figure out a way to connect with Heaven. Left with no other options, she calls her father, Lucifer. He shows up to the hotel and initially isn't impressed, and clashes with Alastor over Charlie. Then, Mimzy, a friend of Alastor, barges in, wanting to meet with Alastor. Husk is distrustful of Mimzy, claiming that she only shows up when she needs something. Alastor mockingly brushes him off, but when Husk argues back that he's "also on a leash", Alastor loses his temper and menacingly threatens to kill him and broadcast his screams if he disrespects him again. Husk's suspicions about Mimzy are later revealed to be true, as loan sharks are looking for her, as she stole 50 grand from them, stole their car, and crashed it into one of their girlfriends. Alastor kills the loan sharks, and forces Mimzy to leave, not wanting the hotel to be ruined. Lucifer then reveals that he doesn't believe in Charlie's plan because it's impossible. However, they do manage to reconcile with each other, and Lucifer puts a word in Heaven for Charlie.

Charlie and Vaggie arrive in Heaven, where they are welcomed by Sera, the head seraphim and Emily, a younger fellow seraphim. Adam and Lute confront Vaggie, revealing her past. He forces her to go against Charlie's plan so that Vaggie's secret doesn't get revealed to Charlie. A trial begins on whether or not a soul in Hell can be redeemed. Shown through a hologram during the trial, Angel's friend, Cherri Bomb, takes his colleagues to a night club to have fun. While trying to save a wasted Niffty from Valentino, he stands up to him, telling him that Val can do whatever he wants to him in the studio, but outside of there, Angel is his own man. Charlie sees this as Angel being redeemed, but it's revealed that the angels themselves don't know how a soul can enter Heaven. On the verge of losing, Adam accidentally reveals the extermination plans, causing Emily to distrust Sera, who knew about it. He also reveals Vaggie's past that she was an angel, leaving Charlie distraught. The court and Sera find that there's no evidence to show that a sinner can be redeemed.

Other media

Webcomics

In July 2020, a webcomic titled "Dirty Healings" which showed how Angel Dust learned of the hotel, was completed, containing twenty-two pages and hosted on the official website.[12][13] Another comic titled "A Day in the Afterlife", which focused on Alastor's daily life in Hell, was posted to the website on October 19, 2020, containing sixteen pages.[14]

"Addict" song and music video

"Addict" is an animated music video released on July 17, 2020, on Medrano's YouTube channel,[15][16][17] based on and featuring the Silva Hound song of the same name.[18] It centers around Angel Dust's relations with his best friend, Cherri Bomb, his abusive boss, Valentino, and their experiences with addiction.[14] The song was performed by Michael Kovach and Kelly "Chi-Chi" Boyer. Tito W. James of Comicon.com described the video as giving viewers a "deeper look" at the lives of Cherri Bomb and Angel Dust, and praised the "world of Hazbin", as he called it, for being "paradoxically provocative and empathetic".[19] The song ranked as the #3 dance song on iTunes on July 21, 2020.[20] Additionally, the song reached number 14 on the US Dance/Electronic Songs chart, number four on the Dance/Electronic Digital Songs chart, and number 77 on the Dance/Electronic Songs Year-End.[21][22][23]

Helluva Boss

A spin-off series, Helluva Boss, unveiled its first season on October 31, 2020, almost one year after the release of its own pilot.[24][25] Helluva Boss takes place in the same universe as Hazbin Hotel, but it has a different cast of characters and story. As Medrano described it, while both shows share the same setting, Hazbin Hotel is about redemption and consequences of past actions, while Helluva Boss follows "characters and societies that already exist in Hell", focusing on relationships between characters.[26]

Production and release

See also: Independent animation § Representations

Some characters of the pilot had been around for years when Medrano began working with people at SVA on what would later become Hazbin Hotel.[27] 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 (from 2017 to 2019) to animate it, with teasers released in that ensuing period to garner an audience of fans.[27] The series contains various LGBTQ characters. This includes a gay pornstar named Angel Dust, a bisexual character named Charlie, a lesbian character named Vaggie, a pansexual character named Husk, and an asexual character named Alastor (The Radio Demon).[28][29][30]

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.[27] Almost a year later, A24 picked up Hazbin Hotel for the production of a TV series in August 2020.[31][32]

On December 21, 2021, the official Hazbin Hotel Twitter account teased the release of the first season.[33] It was later reported that the cast from the pilot was not asked to reprise their roles for the A24 production, though these voice actors showed support for the show despite their removal.[34][10][35] Medrano said that she loves her characters "more than anything" and that they are "in good hands".[36]

Several main characters had been redesigned from the pilot, including Charlie,[37] Vaggie,[38] Alastor,[39] and Angel Dust.[40] Along with SpindleHorse Toons, Bento Box Entertainment will be co-producing the series for A24. Princess Bento,[41] a Melbourne-based studio jointly owned by Bento Box Entertainment and Princess Pictures, alongside Bento Box will both be handling animation production, with Spindlehorse and Toon City[42] both handling digital animation services. According to Medrano, many of the artists who worked on the pilot would be returning for the first season, and argued that the "indie spirit of the pilot lives on."[43]

On October 28, 2022, the third anniversary of the pilot's release, a teaser trailer was released on Medrano's YouTube channel promising a summer 2023 release date for the first season,[44] but this was later stalled due to the 2023 strike of actors and writers.[45] On September 28, 2023, a trailer was posted on the series' official Instagram account and Medrano's YouTube Channel announcing its first season's premiere on Amazon Prime Video in January 2024, while also announcing that "Season 2 is coming".[46] In November 2023, it was announced that the series will premiere on January 19, 2024.[a] On December 13, 2023, the official season one trailer released. It was also confirmed that the pilot would remain canon to the story with the show itself acknowledging it in multiple episodes while continuing plotlines that were established in it.[47][48]

Reception

Pilot reception

The pilot episode has been critically acclaimed for its animation quality, music, and characters.[2][49] Matthew Field of Go! & Express, argued that the pilot was part of the "animation renaissance" on YouTube, and said there may be "a lot more projects like Hazbin in the future."[1][50] Lidia Vassar of the MSU Reporter praised the show, noting its "raunchy sense of humor and quirky art style."[13] She also stated that she was looking forward to future episodes, enjoyed the "diversity of character designs," and stated that it is clear that the show's creators "put a lot of time and heart into this project." In December 2019, in an article about the current state of adult animation, CBR animation critic Reuben Baron stated that while the pilot episodes of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss had garnered "some warranted criticism" because of their inappropriate and edgy humor, they are still "clear labors of love from an animation standpoint."[51] Another critic on CBR, Nerissa Rupnarine, pointed out that Alastor is on the small list of "canon asexual characters" within animation.[30]

Some reviewers argued the series will have a positive influence on independent animation going forward,[17] and argued that the success of Hazbin Hotel led to the success of Helluva Boss.[4] Reviewer Sean Cubillas for CBR praised the show for "quirky, ambitious, and dark humor" and some of the "fastest, wittiest, and raunchiest dialogue ever seen in independent animation."[52]

Series reception

On Rotten Tomatoes, 85% of 20 reviews are considered positive, with an average rating of 7.6/10. The site's critics consensus reads: "A hellzapoppin' musical series swathed in hot, vibrant colors, Hazbin Hotel is worth a booking."[53] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 69 out of 100 based on 8 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[54]

Erik Piepenburg of the Los Angeles Times said the show's universe is a "brazenly colorful, queer-inclusive and fast-paced mishmash" with "outlandish grotseque scenes and copius potty mouths," along with "a Broadway pop score."[55] Christine N. Ziemba of Paste argued that the series is not "simply a rehash" of the pilot, is not for kids, and includes "wickedly pointed adult humor," characters which are eccentric or are sinners, and "Disney-esque musical numbers," and called the series "visually eye-catching."[56] Hope Mullinax of Collider said series expectations were "easily smashed," praising the music, cast, and design choices, was excited to see where the series went forward, but was disappointed that Cherri Bomb didn't get a bigger role.[57] Joe Draper of Digital Spy described the series as explicit and including an "all-star cast of stage performers and TV favourites."[58] Petrana Radulovic of Polygon described the series as a "character-driven musical with an overarching driving plot," a lot of world-building," and noted that it features "multiple female and queer leads."[59]

Rendy Jones of Rogerebert.com said that while some jokes are not as effective, that the "ambitious wings" of Medrano were trimmed "by corporate streaming demands," hit-or-miss gory humor, and disorienting camera angles, the series overall has stellar music, skillful voice actors, and a "balanced charm to round out its hellish setting," and called it a "sweet, raunchy time" that many adults will like.[60] Rachel Leishman of The Mary Sue called the series special for its musical element and argued that animated series have a "special kind of magic to them," and stated that Hazbin Hotel's shine is its own, and is a "fun series to take a dive into."[61] Mae Abdulbaki of ScreenRant called the series "lively," praised the cast, characters, catchy songs, and "chaotic energy," while saying the themes of good and evil could be "more nuanced" and that the characters can act "extremely childish" at times.[62]

In contrast, Alison Herman of Variety said that although the series has a "feel-good backstory belied by its grim premise" and original idea that's "easy to root for," it, in her view, plays less attention to cosmological details or motivations of the protagonists, said the series has retrograde morality, gets lost in "its chaotic, contradictory atmosphere," and is not far along enough to "function as a full season of TV," comparing it unfavorably to The Good Place.[63] In addition, Jenna Scherer of The A.V. Club said the series has a "lot going for it," praising the premise, stylish and innovative animation, music numbers, and voice actors, but criticized the writing as lacking, and hoped the second season allowed the series to "slow down and find its groove," but noted that the series will "find its audience regardless."[64]

Also, Kristy Puchko of Mashable described the series as a "perky pink cartoon show about sinners and singing," but argued that the first three episodes are "unremarkable" to newcomers, said that the dialogue is jarring when compared with an animation style which "seems to be aping Disney XD," and says it is "not satisfyingly subversive." She hoped that the series will "overcome its growing pains" in the first season, and says this expansion of Medrano's works is "flashy but thin."[65] The New Hampshire Union-Leader criticized the series has having an "utterly confusing backstory/mythology," frantic action, and a "headache of a show," and said the dialogue sounds "more adolescent than shocking."[66]

Writing for Yahoo! Entertainment, Jenna Scherer compliments the show for its "compelling premise", stylish animation, killer song-and-dance numbers, and "a voice cast to kill for" before saying that the series falters with its writing.[67]

Fandom

By August 2020, the show had developed a dedicated fanbase,[68][69] with the 31-minute pilot receiving over 93 million views as of December 2023,[14] a rise from 32 million views in May 2020.[5] In a white paper about the increase in adult animation,[70] John Evershed, founder of Mondo Media, described the series as a rare exception to shows on YouTube that are picked up by companies as a "long form TV series."[71] He argued that the show generated enough attention and views to interest A24 in producing the show as a TV series.[72] Medrano told Insider in February 2021 that she was surprised the show had gotten so big, saying that the fandom of Hazbin Hotel rivals those of shows with multiple seasons, even with only a pilot released, and that it "hit a chord with people" due to its art style, angst, and drama. Furthermore, she expressed excitement in the direction of the show, noting the demand for her content.[27] Others called the series a "YouTube hit."[73]

Some media outlets noted intense fan interest in the character Lucifer Morningstar, the king of Hell,[74] who hadn't "physically appeared in any Hazbin Hotel work" prior to a planned premiere in the show's first season.[75] Sarah Laudenbach of Screen Rant noted that the series had developed a strong fanbase despite having "minimal content" available,[76] with "longtime fans" praising the series for dealing with "dark topics like abuse and addiction."[77] She also said that Medrano created an "entire Hellish universe" which gained a "fandom of its own."[78] Kimberly Terasaki of The Mary Sue described the show as having inspired the "imaginations of thousands of fans" and noted that there are over 7,000 fan fictions for the series on Archive of Our Own, along with "thousands of fan comics and fandubs."[79] Scholar Ben Mitchell described the series as "sensationally popular" and an effective use of Patreon to subsidize the show's art "through monthly tiered payments."[80]

In January 2024, discussion emerged about the YouTuber Verbalase, known for his "Cartoon Beatbox Battles" videos, spending $50,000 on an animated music video, set to the song "Hide Away by Synapson, of him being transported to the Hazbin Hotel universe and later getting seduced by Charlie.[81][82]
