The eight-episode season premieres with the first four on January 19, 2024, with two more rolling out each week through February 2. The series will stream in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Visit HazbinHotel.com through January 12 to pre-order special packages of Season 1 merch, when early access to the first two episodes stream on the A24 App, one week before their Prime Video streaming debut, along with a virtual Q&A event with Vivienne Medrano and special guests.
Hazbin Hotel follows Charlie, the princess of Hell, as she pursues her seemingly impossible goal of rehabilitating demons to peacefully reduce overpopulation in her kingdom. After a yearly extermination imposed by angels, she opens a hotel in the hopes that patrons will be "checking out" into heaven. While most of Hell mocks her goal, her devoted partner Vaggie and their first test subject, adult-film star Angel Dust, stick by her side. When a powerful entity known as the "Radio Demon" reaches out to assist Charlie in her endeavors, her crazy dream is given a chance to become a reality.
Season 1 guest stars include Broadway veterans Darren Criss (Saint Peter), Jeremy Jordan (Lucifer Morningstar), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Carmilla Carmine), Patina Miller (Sera), and Jessica Vosk (Lute). They join previously announced main cast including Erika Henningsen; Stephanie Beatriz; Alex Brightman; Keith David; Kimiko Glenn; Blake Roman; Amir Talai; Christian Borle; and Joel Perez.
Created by Medrano, Hazbin Hotel is based on her popular animated pilot released on YouTube in 2019 that quickly generated over 89 million views and a rabid worldwide fan base. The series blends adult humor, unforgettable characters, and catchy musical numbers, creating a wholly original and unique world.
Medrano serves as executive producer and director for all episodes. Joel Kuwahara, Dana Tafoya-Cameron, and Scott Greenberg (Season 1) also serve as executive producers. Hazbin Hotel is produced by A24 and FOX Entertainment’s Emmy Award-winning animation studio, Bento Box Entertainment.
