A24’s Hazbin Hotel (FINALLY) has Release

I fell off the grid in my writings for Mad Monster and that’s largely due to not getting excited by much of any of the things going on in the two best genres in tv and film. Until today! Exactly 3 years since the viral pilot dropped on Youtube, Vivziepop shared on all social media platforms a 20 second tease confirming that the animated series picked up by A24 will be released Summer 2023:

While not much is shown here, you can see in just the few seconds of animation in the title card as well as the sneak peak of Alastor how the style has evolved over the long awaited years in production. For those of you not familiar with Hazbin Hotel, it’s an animated horror musical that takes place in hell. The show’s creator Vivziepop is a South Park fan and that shows through the comedy as the jokes throughout land well. Her theater background really shines in the pilot as well cause each number does give me goosebumps even though I’m not much into theater myself.

In any case I highly suggest checking out (or revisiting) the Hazbin Hotel pilot as we wait to finally be given it. While part of the wait is attributed to being part of the A24 pipeline and the project being animated, Vivziepop also is heavily involved in her straight to Youtube series Helluva Boss which is in the midst of its second season. While the wait for more Hazbin episodes has been killing me, I have been assured by this 20 second tease that the wait will well be worth it!
