WATCH: ‘Hazbin Hotel’ Pilot [Mature Audiences]

Created by SVA grad Vivenne Medrano (Vivziepop), the just-debuted adult toon set in ultraviolent, hypersexed and cartoonishly ghoulish underworld has already surpassed 2 million views in just two days. Click through to watch the whole half-hour pilot, or watch the trailer below for a taste of what’s in store.

Follow 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 hopes that patients 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 Charlie to assist in her endeavors, her crazy dream is given a chance to become a reality.
