‘Helluva Boss’ From Hellaverse of 'Hazbin Hotel' Gets Prime Video Pickup

We can't really say it's a spin-off... current Seasons 1 and 2 of the hit webseries will debut on the streamer this Fall, with brand-new Seasons 3 and 4 getting exclusive streaming windows ahead of future YouTube debuts; EP Vivienne Medrano also scores first look deal.

As if Prime Video hasn’t gone to Hell enough already… The streamer has just announced at LVL UP Expo it has acquired the hugely popular web series Helluva Boss from the world of Hazbin Hotel, which includes a renewal for Seasons 3 and 4. Prime had previously picked up Hazbin Hotel for Seasons 3 and 4 last July.

Executive Producer Vivienne Medrano also closed a “first look” deal with Prime Video. The acquisition was announced via a special animation featuring the lead characters of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss respectively, and confirms for the first time that the two series exist in the same Hellaverse universe. Wink Wink!

 
In a first-of-its-kind deal, the first two seasons of Helluva Boss will debut on Prime Video in the Fall, with episodes continuing to be available on YouTube. Subsequent seasons will have an exclusive window on Prime Video.
 
“I am so grateful to Prime Video for their continued support of our work on Hazbin Hotel and for allowing our team at Spindlehorse to expand The Hellaverse by embracing Helluva Boss,” said Medrano, who created both shows. “I’m SO excited for what this means for the continued rise of Indie animation! It’s a dream come true to be able to tell these stories and I truly can’t wait for you to see what we have planned!”

AWN interviewed Medrano last year about the unlikely success of her show:
‘Hazbin Hotel’: Blood, Violence and Decadent Sex You Can Dance To

Set in Hell, Helluva Boss follows the hell-born imp Blitzo (the “o” is silent), the eccentric leader of I.M.P. (Immediate Murder Professionals), a small, chaotic assassination business able to run thanks to a magic grimoire, and a complicated situationship with the demon prince Stolas. Alongside his equally chaotic ragtag crew – Moxxie, a by-the-books marksman; Millie, a fiery and skilled assassin; and Loona, their snarky, hellbound receptionist – Blitzo takes on contracts to kill targets in the human world. Balancing their work with personal lives, the team constantly finds themselves in absurd, violent and darkly comedic situations.
 
The show is produced by Spindlehorse; Tom Murray also serves as executive producer. It stars Brandon Rogers (Class Acts), Richard Horvitz (Invader Zim), Vivian Williams (Grey’s Anatomy), Erica Lindbeck (ThunderCats Roar) and Bryce Pinkham (Mercy Street). The series also features Alex Brightman (Hazbin Hotel), James Monroe Iglehart (Superkitties), Cristina Vee (Sailor Moon), Georgie Leahy (Normal British Series), Rochelle Diamante and Morgana Ignis (Class Acts).

Produced by Bento Box, 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.
