Three years after dropping the pilot episode, “Hazbin Hotel” released the first four episodes of its first season on Jan. 19, 2024, on Amazon Prime Video. This new series features an assembly of chaos, antics and frighteningly good songs and motifs that will keep you glued to the screen. “Hazbin Hotel,” created by Vivienne Medrano, more commonly known as Vivziepop, follows the journey of Charlie Morningstar, the princess of hell. Charlie works toward a steadfast goal which is finding a way to redeem the sinners in hell, allowing them passage to heaven and hopes to do so through her Happy Hotel.
Charlie begins with her plan of Happy Hotel rehabilitation to prevent the overpopulation of hell and The Extermination, a culling event. Vaggie, one of the main protagonists and manager of the hotel, works to make a new commercial for the hotel, but a surprise news release sets some of their plans to ruin. Within a side plot, the Vees, a triad of major antagonists, get shaken up by the return of the Overlord Alastor, a demon with a penchant for chaos, who seems to only be helping Charlie with the hotel for his amusement.
