Hazbin Hotel: From YouTube Sensation to Prime Video Series

The Cult Animated Short Evolves in Animation Style, Character Development, and Narrative in its Transition to a Full Series

Hazbin Hotel, a cult animated short that gained popularity on YouTube with over 92 million views, has been picked up as a series on Prime Video.
The series follows Charlie Morningstar, the Princess of Hell, who opens a hotel with the goal of rehabilitating demons to reduce overpopulation in her kingdom.
The animation style and character development have evolved from the pilot to the full series, with the characters becoming more grounded and the animation less severe.
The full series has a larger ensemble of core characters than the pilot and focuses more on the relationship between Heaven and Hell.
The Prime Video series has made narrative tweaks to the story laid out in the pilot, including the revelation that Charlie's mother, Lilith, has been missing for seven years.
