Hazbin Hotel Season 2: Confirmation & Everything We Know

<

Prime Video’s long-gestating animated series Hazbin Hotel finally produced a full season in 2024, and it has already been renewed for a second. Created by Vivienne Medrano, the series follows Charlie Morningstar, the princess of Hell who dreams of opening a hotel for sinners in which they can rehabilitate their souls to avoid being destroyed due to overpopulation in the underworld. Despite its heady high-concept ideas, Hazbin Hotel shines because of its catchy songs, relatable characters, and fascinating use of the animation medium to tell its story.

Hazbin Hotel got its start as a pilot episode released online in 2019, and though the pilot didn’t go anywhere for years, it allowed creator Vivienne Medrano to pursue other projects. Finally, Hazbin Hotel got a second chance a few years later thanks to Amazon Prime Video, and it was even renewed for a second season before the first dropped a single episode. That faith was rewarded when Hazbin Hotel went on to quickly shatter records for Prime Video, and become the most-viewed animated series on the platform. With that in mind, anticipation for season 2 is already mounting.

Vivienne Medrano Hints At Season 2’s Timeline

With the renewal out of the way, the latest update reveals that Hazbin Hotel season 2 will happen sooner than season 1. Series creator Vivienne Medrano offered a vague update on the show’s timeline, saying “it’ll be a normal wait for animation“. The first season took nearly five years to happen, but the project was only in active production for “about one-and-a-half, two years“, according to Medrano. Because of its quick renewal, season 2 won’t be stalled for nearly three years like its predecessor.

Hazbin Hotel Season 2 Is Confirmed

The Animated Series Was Renewed Before Season 1

When the trailer for Hazbin Hotel season 1 was released, it also came with the shocking announcement that the series was already renewed for season 2. With a nearly five-year delay between the pilot and the premiere of season 1, it’s no surprise that creator Vivienne Medrano has dreamed up enough for multiple seasons. However, streamers like Prime Video rarely take such big swings on animated projects. Fortunately, Hazbin Hotel proved to be a hit right off the bat.

Who Will Return For Season 2?

Though all the details haven’t been revealed about season 2 yet, the main cast of Hazbin Hotel season 1 will likely be back almost entirely. One guaranteed return is Erika Henningsen as Charlie since the princess of Hell has yet to fully realize her vision for the titular hotel after the major battle that concluded season 1. Likewise, Charlie’s supportive girlfriend Vaggie, voiced by Stephanie Beatriz, will also likely return to continue to help the cause. With Lute being put in charge of Exterminations at the end of the season, Jessica Vosk will return to voice the role.

Hazbin Hotel Season 2 Story

Season 1 Left A Lot Of Unanswered Questions

The shocking and twist-filled ending of season 1 left a lot of burning questions for Hazbin Hotel season 2, and those questions will likely make up the majority of the sophomore outing’s story. Though Adam was seemingly defeated in the final battle, it stands to reason that he is still out there somewhere and could return to wreak havoc in season 2. Likewise, Lute could also wield the newfound power of Exterminations with even more reckless abandon than even Adam in a quest for savage revenge.

When Sir Pentious died and went to heaven, it proved that Charlie’s plan could work to some degree. However, it also opened the door for more conflict in season 2 as her ally on the other side will not be able to communicate with those down in hell. One thing that Hazbin Hotel creator Vivienne Medrano is most excited about in season 2 is the reveal that Charlie’s mother, Lilith, somehow resides in heaven, a twist that will play out in season 2 and beyond.
