Prime Video has announced the cast and released a trailer for ‘Hazbin Hotel‘, a brand-new Hell-based adult animated musical comedy from Vivienne Medrano (aka VivziePop), A24, and FOX Entertainment’s Bento Box Entertainment (‘Bob’s Burgers’, ‘Central Park’, ‘The Great North’).
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 endeavours, her crazy dream is given a chance to become a reality.
The cast announced over this weekend, is a solid collection of impressive voice talent from both stage and screen. The cast includes:
Erika Henningsen (Mean Girls, Les Misérables musicals) as Charlie. The estranged daughter of Lucifer, Charlie wants to do right by her kingdom and find a way to redeem Sinners into Heaven through rehabilitation in the Hazbin Hotel.
