Hazbin Hotel got a musical teaser at New York Comic Con

Prime Video shared an exclusive song teaser and announced the main cast at New York Comic Con for the highly anticipated adult animation series Hazbin Hotel. Executive producer Vivienne Medrano debuted a portion of the devilishly catchy original song, “Happy Day in Hell,” during Prime Video’s New York Comic Con (NYCC) panel. The cast announced for Season One are series regulars Erika Henningsen, Stephanie Beatriz, Alex Brightman, Keith David, Kimiko Glenn, Blake Roman, and Amir Talai. Also joining the cast are Christian Borle and Joel Perez. The eight-episode first season is set to premiere January 2024 exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide, and has already been renewed for Season Two.

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.

Also announced, at HazbinHotel.com, fans can pre-order special packages that include exclusive Season One merchandise, digital access to the first two episodes before they release on Prime Video, and a virtual Q&A event with Vivienne Medrano and special guests. Early access episodes will be available to stream for a limited time on the A24 App.
