"Hazbin Hotel To Get Theatrical Sing-Along Of Its Own"​

"What do Hazbin Hotel and KPop Demon Hunters have in common? Until now, not much. Both are musicals, and both have great animation, but one is meant for a family audience and the other is clearly not. More obviously, one is about a group of demons and the other is about a group of demon hunters. If Charlie Morningstar met Rumi, Zoey and Mira in an alley it would probably not end well.

But this October, they’ll have one more thing in common. The long-anticipated second season of Hazbin Hotel is set to debut then, and Amazon looked at the smashing success of KPDH in its brief theatrical run and got an idea. How about, as promotion, they do a theater sing-along for Hazbin Hotel as well?

It’s a weird idea. KPop Demon Hunters had the numbers to justify this kind of release, with multiple songs from its soundtrack still burning up the charts. There is a demand for Hazbin Hotel’s songs on Spotify — over a billion streams, Amazon claims — but in terms of the phenomenon KPDH is it’s not even close. This is also strictly an adult thing and will probably arrive with an R from the MPA, limiting its audience. But anything’s worth trying once!"

"Hazbin Hotel Teaser Trailer For Season 2 Released"​

"A teaser trailer for Hazbin Hotel season 2 has been released by Prime Video and Vivienne Medrano’s personal YouTube channel. This teaser is centred on Vox, the leader of the Vees, powerful overlords of Hell, who is taking center stage. None of the main characters are very prominent in this teaser, with Charlie only making a small comment at the end of the video and the other main characters appearing briefly with no dialogue. This teaser also hints at a war between Heaven and Hell, with Vox taking a leadership role in Hell’s army and Vox narrating his plans to lead Hell’s forces in this war. This feels like a villain-focused teaser trailer. Even though Hazbin Hotel is a comedy series, this teaser seems rather dark and dramatic, with a few really funny moments in it. Perhaps this hints at some darker story elements being prominent in season 2."

The News Team's "The Overlord" has a new review up on the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:

"Review: “Hazbin Hotel” Season 2: An Improved Second Outing"​

"I don’t think it’s a big exaggeration to say the original Hazbin Hotel pilot on YouTube started the current crop of indie animated projects we see today. Now Hazbin Hotel is a big phenomenon, but the full series is on Amazon Prime rather than on YouTube. However, being the first massively popular indie animated project on YouTube has given it a huge fan base. This has served this show well, allowing it to become popular on Amazon Prime.

The second season picks up after the first season, being set a month later. After the death of Adam and his angel army being driven off by the Hazbin Hotel crew last season, the sinners of Hell see that angels can be killed. This leads to the Vees, a trio of powerful Overlords of Hell, led by the sinister Vox, deciding to make a power grab and start an uprising of sinners against Heaven.

In terms of positives, I think Vox is a great villain. He is not that deep; the closest thing he has to a redeeming quality was an attempt to make an alliance (possibly start a romantic relationship) with Alastor the Radio Demon, and was rejected in a rather harsh manner. But Vox is a fun, evil, charismatic villain; he is fun to watch. Another great aspect of the show is the songs. Hazbin Hotel is a musical and has several great songs in it. Vox has several great villain songs."

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I like these shorts more than the full length episodes.

Helluva Boss season 3 is coming - part one this fall, part two next year.

Helluva Boss season 3 is coming - part one this fall, part two next year.

I'm assuming that it's because the episode count is higher than Hazbin which is why it needs to be split...

 

[Kitschensyngk]

On the Hazbin side, there will be a fifth season. And then that's it.

I wonder which will end first between it and Helluva Boss if this is the final season .
