A24 Music and Prime Video shared the second single, “Poison,” from the highly anticipated adult animation series Hazbin Hotel. Created by Vivienne Medrano, Hazbin Hotel is based on her popular animated pilot released on YouTube. This new series adaptation is produced by A24 and FOX Entertainment’s Emmy award-winning animation studio Bento Box Entertainment.
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. The first season of Hazbin Hotel consists of eight episodes, with four episodes premiering on Prime Video on January 19, 2024, and two episodes rolling out weekly through February 2.

The Prime Video series promises to blend adult humor, unforgettable characters, and catchy musical numbers creating a wholly original and unique world. The track “Poison” is written and produced by composers Sam Haft and Andrew Underberg, and features showstopping vocals by Blake Roman. You can stream the track here. Haft is a platinum-certified artist/singer/songwriter best known for being half of duo The Living Tombstone, which NME dubbed as “the Internet’s biggest gaming band.” Underberg is an Emmy-nominated songwriter/composer. He has written and produced music for TV series (Hailey’s on It!, Bizaardvark, Team Kaylie), TV movies (The J Team, Monster High, Barbie: Big City, Big Dreams), and pop artists (Twice, Stray Kids, Hailee Steinfeld).
Fans can pre-order special packages that include exclusive Season One merchandise until January 12, when early access to the first two episodes will be available to stream on the A24 App one week before they release on Prime Video.
It will be interesting to see if Hazbin Hotel is as popular on Prime Video as it has been on YouTube. The 2019 YouTube pilot amassed over 92 million views and built up a dedicated and passionate global fandom. Prime Video is no stranger to the adult animated genre. Both the first and second seasons of their adult animated series Invincible were critically acclaimed. In a tweet from the official Invincible X (formerly Twitter) account, they stated that the second season received three times the viewership than their first season received. So it will be fun to see how viewers react to this show. Season One of Hazbin Hotel consists of eight episodes, with four episodes premiering on Prime Video on January 19, 2024.
