Prime Video Orders Two Seasons of Adult Animated Musical Comedy "Hazbin Hotel" From Vivienne Medrano, A24, and Bento Box Entertainment
Prime Video sets January 2024 Premiere Date
CULVER CITY, California - September 28, 2023 - Prime Video announced today a two season order of the new adult animated musical comedy series Hazbin Hotel from Vivienne Medrano, A24 and FOX Entertainment's Bento Box Entertainment. Created by Vivienne Medrano, Hazbin Hotel is based on her popular animated pilot released on YouTube in 2019 and quickly gained 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. The eight-episode first season is set to premiere January 2024 exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
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.
Vivienne Medrano serves as executive producer and directed all episodes. Joel Kuwahara and Dana Tafoya-Cameron, and Scott Greenberg (Season One) also serve as executive producers via A24. Hazbin Hotel is produced by A24 and FOX Entertainment's Emmy Award-winning animation studio Bento Box Entertainment.
