In what’s sure to be bittersweet news for fans, Prime Video has renewed Hazbin Hotel for a fifth and final season.
The adult animated musical comedy series, which is expected to release its third season this year, is created by Vivienne Medrano and follows Charlie Morningstar, the princess of Hell, as she opens the titular establishment where sinner demons are rehabilitated and saved from an annual purge. A release date for season 5 is yet to be announced.
The renewal news was announced on Saturday (25 April) during a panel at LVL UP Expo in Las Vegas.
Medrano serves as executive producer and has helmed all episodes, while Dana Tafoya-Cameron serves as executive producer.
“I’m so thankful for how Prime Video has championed our vision at SpindleHorse, and I’m grateful for their partnership and commitment to bringing Hazbin Hotel to its epic conclusion,” said Medrano in a statement. “I’m so excited for fans to see how this story ends.”
Melissa Wolfe, Head of Animation, Amazon MGM Studios, added: “From its inception, Hazbin Hotel has pushed the boundaries of adult animation through bold storytelling, vibrant artistry, and unapologetic heart.”
She continued: “Vivienne Medrano and her team have built an extraordinary world that has captivated fans around the globe, and we’re thrilled to give the series—and its passionate community—a fitting, unforgettable final chapter.”
Hazbin Hotel began life as a pilot on YouTube in 2019, where it quickly racked up over 120 million views and a global fanbase, before transforming into A24’s first adult animated series.
Season 2 came to an end back in November, ending on a big cliffhanger and setting up the next instalment.
