Hazbin Hotel Season 2: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
So, when are we checking back into the Hazbin Hotel? Prime Video's keeping quiet on an exact date, but we've got some juicy hints. Vivienne Medrano, the genius behind the show, spilled in a February 2024 chat that production kicked off right after Season 1. She said it takes about one-and-a-half to two years to animate all that wild demon action—think detailed dance moves and lip-syncing perfection.
Amir Talai, our creepy-cool Alastor, dropped a hint at Fan Expo Vancouver in February 2025, saying May 2025 is the earliest we might see it, but he's betting more on October 2025 to May 2026. Just a guess, though—no promises! The animation's intense, so October 2025 feels like a solid bet for that spooky Halloween energy. Some folks are whispering early 2026 if things drag a bit in post-production. Cast Updates: Old Pals and New Faces
The gang's mostly back, and we're stoked! Erika Henningsen's returning as Charlie Morningstar, Hell's perky princess, and she was already recording lines by June 2024. Here's who else is checking in: Stephanie Beatriz as Vaggie, Charlie's ride-or-die girlfriend with a killer edge.
Amir Talai as Alastor, the Radio Demon who's all charm and shady motives.
Blake Roman as Angel Dust, the sassy porn star chasing a better life.
Keith David as Husk, the grumpy cat-demon bartender we all love.
Kimiko Glenn as Niffty, the tiny, stab-happy cleaning freak.
Alex Brightman as Sir Pentious, who stole our hearts with that Season 1 plot twist.
Newbies are joining the party too! We're finally meeting Lilith, Charlie's mom and Hell's Queen, who popped up silently in the Season 1 finale. No word on her voice actor yet, but Vivienne's calling her a 'slow-burn mystery' that'll unfold over seasons. There's also a new character, Abel, but they're keeping us in the dark about what they're up to. Sounds like trouble, in the best way. What's Coming in Season 2? Buckle Up!
Season 1 left us screaming with that finale—big reveals, big feels! So, what's next? Here's the tea on what Season 2's got in store: Hell's Getting Bigger
Season 2's diving deeper into the Hellaverse, showing off more of Hell's gritty corners and its messy power games. The Vees—Vox, Valentino, and Velvette—are stepping up as the big bads. Vox and Alastor's beef is gonna be a thing , with Vox scheming to rule the roost. Expect epic fights and some serious drama as Hell's power balance shakes up. Getting to Know Our Faves
We're getting the dirt on our favorite demons. Alastor's past is a hot topic—Vivienne teased a 'whoa' moment about his backstory. Sir Pentious, now chilling as an angel in Heaven after his big Season 1 moment, is sticking around, maybe stirring up trouble between Heaven and Hell. Charlie's stepping up as Hell's Princess, owning her role with some serious swagger. Plus, her and Vaggie's relationship is getting spicier with a 'fun, sexy song' in the mix. More Bangers to Sing Along To
If you loved Season 1's eight killer songs, Season 2's upping the ante with more musical numbers. Sam Haft, the music master, confirmed we're getting extra tunes, like a wild duet with Sir Pentious and Cherri Bomb, plus a solo for Niffty. Think Broadway vibes with that twisted Hazbin humor—your playlist's about to get an upgrade. Heaven, Hell, and Lilith's Big Comeback
That Season 1 finale? Mind-blowing. Lilith's chilling in Heaven, and Sir Pentious proved Charlie's redemption plan isn't a pipe dream. Season 2's spending more time in Heaven, digging into the mess from the botched Extermination and the angels' 'uh-oh' moment about their rules. Lilith's heading back to Hell—maybe Lute's pushing her?—and it's gonna spark some major drama about redemption and what's right or wrong. Fresh Faces and Plot Twists
Besides Lilith and Abel, we're getting a few new characters to keep things spicy. Vivienne's promising a 'grander' season with more action and surprises that pick up right where Season 1's cliffhangers left off. Fans are buzzing about a possible Helluva Boss crossover, but Vivienne's lips are sealed. Guess we'll see!

July 14 (UPI) -- Lost actor Daniel Dae Kim and The Secret Art of Human Flight actress Reina Hardesty star as father-daughter spies in Butterfly, a new espionage-thriller series coming to Prime Video Aug. 13. A trailer released Monday shows David Jung (Kim) approaching his daughter Rebecca (Hardesty). "You can't keep living this life," he says as the trailer begins. "At some point you start to lose yourself. That's why I came back for you." Rebecca points a gun at David, recognizing the man she'd been assigned to kill as her father, whom she thought was dead. "You let me grow up thinking that you'd been killed," she says as the preview continues. He insists that his disappearance was for his young daughter's protection. The series is based on Arash Amel's graphic novel series, and also stars Piper Perabo, Louis Landau, Kim Ji-hoon, Park Hae-soo, Kim Tae-hee, Charles Parnell, Sean Dulake, Nayoon Kim, Sung Dong-il and Lee Il-hwa. "Butterfly is the realization of a longtime dream to bring together American and Korean storytellers and create a show that bridges two cultures that I love deeply. I couldn't be happier with the creative team we've assembled, both in front of and behind the camera," said Kim, who also executive produces, in a statement.

'The Summer I Turned Pretty': Lola Tung, Jenny Han reveal Taylor Swift song that represents Season 3 Belly
Easily one of the most highly anticipated TV releases of the year, The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 lands on Prime Video July 16, the final season of the show adapted from Jenny Han's book trilogy. Starring Lola Tung as Belly, Christopher Briney as Conrad and Gavin Casalegno as Jeremiah, fans are waiting to see the outcome of this complicated love triangle. While it may be obvious that the series will end just like the book, which we won't spoil here for those trying to avoid the potential finale moment, the hit show has been known to throw in some surprises. It's a testament to how the series works to service original fans of the story and newcomers alike. "I think of the work that we did this season, I think it really comes together beautifully," Han told Yahoo Canada. "I think the intention is always to honour the original fans of the story and also bring some new things to the table as well, just to keep things exciting." "For me, I always have to be excited about whatever I'm doing, and feel energized ... to tell the story and play in the world." When asked what Taylor Swift song Han and Tung would say best represented Belly in Season 3, they agree on "Bejeweled" from from the Midnights album. A significant element of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 is that we're starting four years after the end of Season 2. Belly is in her junior year of college and as we see in the trailer for the season, Belly and Jeremiah make plans to get married. But things seem to get complicated when Belly reconnects with Conrad, who moved to California where he's continuing his journey to becoming a doctor. "We had a year off because of the strike, so I kind of got two years off between filming Season 2 and Season 3. ... I ended up playing my own age, which was kind of cool. I feel like that doesn't happen that often," Tung said. "And I felt like over those two years I had grown so much, and I know that Belly had also grown so much over the four years that we didn't see her." "So it was cool going into Season 3 with a sort of new perspective, and all the lessons that I'd learned in my life, and all the lessons that I knew Belly had learned and was going to learn this season." "That's the coolest part about it, is that you get to bring all that into the character," Han added. "And I think it just really deepens and enriches the story when you can bring your own lived experience to it." With the jump in the timeline comes a new exploration of the mother-daughter relationship between Belly and Laurel (Jackie Chung). Many will recognize that the bond between a teenage daughter and her mother is quite different once that daughter is in her 20s, and we've already been teased that Laurel isn't particularly supportive when Belly and Jeremiah tell her they're going to get married. "When I think back to being in high school, ... I feel like I was always just so impatient with my mom and so mean, ... where you're often locked in battle a lot with your mom," Han said. "I think because you're coming into your own. You want independence. You want to make up your own mind about things, but you're still living under her roof and you actually don't have much control. ... If one day your parent was like, we're moving because I got a job change, ... you don't really get a say whether or not you're staying or going." "I think that can feel ... really confining. But then, when you have that space to go out to college and forge your own path a little bit, I think you can have more grace for your parent when you come back home, and you can see them more as people. And I think that, for Belly and Laurel, as Belly gets older, they really are seeing each other more as people and in a more equal footing." "They're really similar though, too," Tung added. "And that's the thing that also happens where teenagers are often pretty stubborn when it comes to their parents, ... and don't always want to listen, even if what their parents are saying is probably for the best." "But then Belly, I think, continues to be pretty stubborn, just as a person, that's how she is, which is amazing, because it makes her headstrong and driven and determined. But she is stubborn and she definitely gets that from Laurel ... they're both stubborn." Jackie Chung explained that in Season 3, Laurel is trying to maintain connections with not just her own kids, but Conrad and Jeremiah as well, after their mother's death. "When you're in high school, you're still a kid, and then when you jump to college all of a sudden you've already turned 18, you are now an adult," Chung said. "And so I think some of the decisions that you make have bigger repercussions, perhaps." "Laurel is always there for her daughter and always supportive of her, but they don't always agree on the decisions. I think, like any parent, you're trying to guide your kid, but you don't always agree with what they're doing. And so sometimes they're on the same page, and sometimes they are not." In terms of parental influences, Conrad and Jeremiah have had a contentious relationship with their father Adam (Tom Everett Scott), and we do see a slight reconciliation by the end of Season 2 when Conrad and Jeremiah wanted to keep the Cousins' house. Tom Everett Scott highlighted that it was "emotional" to see Adam "break down" about the loss of Susannah, Conrad and Jeremiah's mother, in Season 2, and teased things do evolve in his relationship with his kids in Season 3. "I think you see a little bit of that coming back together with the boys, and at the beginning of Season 3 he's certainly a little bit better off with Jeremiah, but there is still quite a gap with him and Conrad," Scott said. "So Adam is ... working as best as he can at making amends with his sons." But aside from the infamous love triangle, fans are also waiting to see how the relationship between Steven (Sean Kaufman) and Taylor (Rain Spencer) unfolds in Season 3, with the stars teasing that it hasn't been a "fairytale." "There's a lot of change that goes on," Sean Kaufman said. "Four years means that we're not at the same place where we left off at Season 2, ... and I think that people will be surprised to know that throughout the four years, there's been some ups and downs, and it's been a little on and off again between these two. ... That leaves us at a very interesting place to start Season 3." "Our characters have probably broken up and gotten back together a million times," Rain Spencer added. We'll also get to meet Taylor's mom for the first time, diving into what that mother-daughter dynamic looks like. "There's a sort of push and pull of like, how much do I help my mom and versus how much do I pursue what I want to do, and leave the nest," Spencer said. Throughout The Summer I Turned Pretty, Taylor has been a character that is bold, brash and has an energetic personality. Moving into Season 3, Spencer thought a lot about how that evolves as we meet Taylor four years later. "I was a very different person when I was 16 versus when I was 21, or whatever, and so that was really fun," Spencer said. "When we last saw her in Season 2, there were themes of guarding her heart versus being vulnerable with Steven, and I think when we see her in Season 3, some of that is still there. She's still working on how to be vulnerable with another person." "Healing isn't linear. .... So sometimes you can make a breakthrough and get somewhere, ... and then maybe later you were more closed off again, and that's cool. That's OK. So she's sort of navigating that now." Meanwhile for Kaufman, a highlight for many has been seeing how supportive Steven and Conrad are of each other, including being open around conversations about mental health, specifically Conrad's anxiety. "Chris is a very dear friend of mine. I love him. We hang out like every day, and to get those scenes together were not only amazing to be able to work together, but the magnitude of the scenes, obviously talking about mental health, and then ... just friends being there for friends, ... and having scenes where we get talk and be vulnerable with each other, ... was very interesting," Kaufman said. "I will say, no spoilers, but we have some scenes together in Season 3 that I'm very excited for the fans to see, and I'm very proud of. I know he works extremely hard, and I'm very excited for you guys to see it."
