Prime Video's Hazbin Hotel; Lacey Chabert Gets Hallmark Unscripted Series
In the continued spirit of Thanksgiving, Prime Video is showing its appreciation to Hazbin Hotel fans by revealing the premiere date for Season One of the highly anticipated adult animated musical comedy. Episodes will be available to stream exclusively on Prime Video beginning January 19, 2024, in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Guest stars include Broadway veterans Darren Criss (Saint Peter), Jeremy Jordan (Lucifer Morningstar), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Carmilla Carmine), Patina Miller (Sera), and Jessica Vosk (Lute). They will join the stacked lineup of previously announced main cast including Erika Henningsen, Stephanie Beatriz, Alex Brightman, Keith David, Kimiko Glenn, Blake Roman, Amir Talai, Christian Borle, and Joel Perez. The series will feature original music and lyrics from platinum-certified artist Sam Haft and Emmy-nominated Andrew Underberg.
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 endeavors, her crazy dream is given a chance to become a reality.
Hallmark Media is bringing its brand of feel-good programming to the unscripted genre with its new aspirational series Celebrations with Lacey Chabert, executive produced and hosted by perennial fan-favorite Lacey Chabert (Haul Out the Holly, Mean Girls). Chabert has become a network staple, starring in 38 Hallmark movies. This 10-episode series will debut late next year on Hallmark Media's subscription streaming service.
What's more, Hallmark Media plans to further expand its footprint in the unscripted programming space in the new year. Signaling the company's commitment to creating more kinds of quality content like the movies and series that Hallmark viewers have enjoyed for nearly two decades, this project is one example of many new, original programs being developed for the company. Working in partnership with consultant and master unscripted storyteller David Stefanou, the company plans to announce more projects in 2024.
