Felicity 25th Anniversary Collection on Hulu; Prime Video Orders Two Seasons of Animated Comedy

Felicity premiered on September 29, 1998 and ran for four seasons, all of which are available to stream on Hulu. Were you Team Ben or Team Noel? Hulu just launched two "best of" collections on the series page to let fans relive the all the romance, no matter what team they're on. 8 episodes of Best of Felicity & Ben and 6 episodes of Best of Felicity & Noel. The series is a story about a wide eyed college freshman and the most exhilarating journey of all, self discovery. Felicity explores the excitement and uncertainty of living in New York City, a setting where anything goes and anything can happen.

Prime Video announced a two season order of the new adult animated musical comedy series Hazbin Hotel from Vivienne Medrano, A24 and FOX Entertainment's Bento Box Entertainment. Created by Vivienne Medrano, Hazbin Hotel is based on her popular animated pilot released on YouTube in 2019 and quickly gained over 89 million views and a rabid worldwide fan base. The series blends adult humor, unforgettable characters, and catchy musical numbers creating a wholly original and unique world. The eight-episode first season is set to premiere January 2024 exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

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.
