It all started with a YouTube pilot in 2019, and now A24 and Amazon MGM Studios have turned it into a full-fledged TV series. With the legendary voice actor Keith David, Stephanie Beatriz from Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Encanto leads the star-studded cast of Hazbin Hotel.

Will There be a Season 2 of Hazbin Hotel?
Hazbin Hotel was started as a project by Medrano and her team of fellow independent creators. They took two years to animate the pilot episode, sharing previews during the process. When it was released on YouTube, it became a big hit, reaching over 89 million views.
The first episode’s success led to A24 picking up the series and leading up to the show’s premiere announcement. In addition to that, there is good news, too: Season 2 of the Hazbin Hotel is in the works. As the creator of Hazbin Hotel, Vivienne Medrano told The Cosmic Circus:
“We currently are writing it, which is really exciting. It’s a very, very exciting new story. Obviously it follows the events of Season 1, which people haven’t seen yet, but I’m so excited. I think it picks up in a perfect way, it focuses on a very fun villain and it’s a villain we meet in Season 1. I’m very excited about this process starting again.”
Though, it’s not known when it’ll be released.
The first four episodes of Hazbin Hotel can be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.
