During the highly anticipated San Diego Comic-Con 2024, creator Vivienne Medrano made an exciting announcement regarding her animated musical comedy series, Hazbin Hotel. During the panel titled “Adapting Fan Favorites: A Conversation with Prime Video’s Adult Animation Creators,” Medrano revealed that the show has been renewed for both a third and fourth season.
Hazbin Hotel follows the story of Charlie, the princess of Hell, who embarks on a seemingly impossible mission to rehabilitate demons in an effort to alleviate the overpopulation crisis in her realm. Faced with a yearly extermination enforced by angels, Charlie opens a hotel with the hope that her guests will “check out” into Heaven. Despite the ridicule from many in Hell, she is supported by her loyal partner Vaggie and their first test subject, the adult-film star Angel Dust. The plot thickens when a powerful entity known as the “Radio Demon” offers to assist Charlie, giving her ambitious dream a fighting chance.
The series, created by Medrano, is based on her popular animated pilot that debuted on YouTube in 2019. The pilot quickly garnered over 111 million views, establishing a passionate global fanbase. Hazbin Hotel is known for its unique blend of adult humor, memorable characters, and catchy musical numbers, creating a distinctive and original world that resonates with viewers.
Medrano serves as the executive producer and has directed all episodes of the series. The production team also includes Joel Kuwahara, Dana Tafoya-Cameron, and Scott Greenberg, who contributed to Season One.
