Prime Video today announced that adult animation fans have a special post-holiday treat to look forward to, as Vivienne Medrano’s Hazbin Hotel has made a reservation to premiere on streaming January 19, 2024 in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Season 1 guest stars were also announced for the hellacious musical-comedy.
Based on the pilot released by Medrano on YouTube in 2019, which racked up ofer 92 million views, 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.
Guest stars will include Broadway veterans Darren Criss as Saint Peter, Jeremy Jordan (Lucifer Morningstar), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Carmilla Carmine), Patina Miller (Sera) and Jessica Vosk (Lute). They join the previously announced main cast, including Erika Henningsen, Stephanie Beatriz, Alex Brightman, Keith David, Kimiko Glenn, Blake Roman, Amir Talai, Christian Borle and Joel Perez.
The series will feature original music and lyrics from platinum-certified artist Sam Haft and Emmy-nominated Andrew Underberg.
Medrano serves as executive producer and directed all episodes. Joel Kuwahara and Dana Tafoya-Cameron, and Scott Greenberg (S1) also serve as executive producers. Hazbin Hotel is produced by A24 and FOX Entertainment’s Emmy Award-winning animation studio, Bento Box Entertainment.
In true Broadway fashion, Prime Video will be announcing the new guest stars via the marquee at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood today (Monday, November 27) from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Fans can continue to visit HazbinHotel.com to pre-order special packages that include exclusive Season 1 merchandise, digital access to the first two episodes before they release on Prime Video, and a virtual Q&A event with Medrano and special guests. Early access episodes will be available to stream for a limited time on the A24 App.
