This page used to ask when a second episode of the Hazbin Hotel pilot would appear on YouTube. That question has an answer now, and it is not the one the page was waiting for. There was never a second YouTube episode. The pilot was picked up as a television series instead, and two seasons of it have already been released.
Was there ever a Hazbin Hotel episode 2 on YouTube?
No. The pilot that went up on Vivienne Medrano’s Vivziepop channel on 28 October 2019 stands alone, and nothing followed it in that form. In August 2020 A24 picked the show up for a full television series, which is why the independent YouTube continuation this page expected never arrived.
What was actually released, and when
- 28 October 2019, the pilot is published on YouTube, created, written and directed by Vivienne Medrano.
- August 2020, A24 picks the series up for television.
- 13 December 2023, the first trailer for the series is released.
- 19 January 2024, season 1 premieres on Amazon Prime Video. Episode 1 also went up on YouTube for a limited time a day earlier.
- 24 July 2025, the season 2 trailer is released.
- 29 October 2025, season 2 premieres on Prime Video.
- 25 April 2026, the series is announced as renewed for a fifth and final season.
The series is made by Medrano’s SpindleHorse with A24, Amazon MGM Studios and the animation studio Bento Box Entertainment, which is a very different production from the one that made the pilot.
Hazbin Hotel season 3 release date
There is no announced date. Three further seasons were ordered after season 2, and on 25 April 2026 the fifth of them was confirmed as the last. Nothing published since has attached a month or a year to season 3, so any date you see for it is a guess rather than an announcement. This page will carry a date when one exists, and it will say where that date came from.
The voice cast changed completely, and that matters for this page
The cast list this page carried for years was the 2019 pilot cast. Every one of those roles was recast when the series was greenlit for Prime Video, and the pilot cast marked it themselves: on 19 January 2024, the day season 1 premiered, Gabriel C. Brown, who sang Alastor in the pilot, released a farewell song performed by the pilot cast. Naming the pilot voices as the voices of the series was wrong, and it stayed wrong on this page for five years.
The series main cast is:
- Erika Henningsen as Charlie Morningstar
- Stephanie Beatriz as Vaggie
- Blake Roman as Angel Dust and the Egg Boiz
- Amir Talai as Alastor and Tom Trench
- Keith David as Husk
- Kimiko Glenn as Niffty and Susan
- Alex Brightman as Sir Pentious and Adam
- Christian Borle as Vox
What the pilot was about
Charlie Morningstar, the princess of Hell, opens a hotel meant to rehabilitate sinners so that they can be admitted to Heaven instead of being killed in Hell’s annual extermination. The pilot introduces that idea, her partner Vaggie, the adult film star Angel Dust, and the radio demon Alastor, who offers to help run the hotel because he finds the whole project funny. The series keeps that premise and builds the extermination into its central conflict.
Why this page was wrong for so long
It was written in 2021 and never revisited. It predicted a second YouTube episode for a date that had already been overtaken, blamed the delay on the coronavirus pandemic, and quoted subscriber and view counts from 2020 as though they were current. All of it was superseded in August 2020, before most of it was written. It is corrected here rather than deleted, because the page has a real question in its title and that question deserves a real answer.
Checked on 10 November 2026 against the series’ documented release record and the April 2026 renewal reporting. Two limits are worth stating. This title has no AniList entry at all, confirmed with a control search that had to return results and did, so the schedule source this site normally uses does not cover American animation. The A24 and Prime Video pages for the series do not serve their text to a plain fetch, so neither could be read directly today. Any date on this page that is not listed above as announced is not announced.
