Earlier this week via Hazbin Hotel creator Vivienne Medrano’s Twitter, the show-runner put out the following message:

Throughout the week, fans of the pilot for both Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, as well as VivziePop’s earlier creation Zoophobia expressed excitement and speculated on what the news could be. Some theorized that Adult Swim had greenlit the project and that we would get to see the series on TV by October. And a handful of people cautioned to keep expectations low on what the news will turn out to be.

Personally speaking, I was hoping to hear that the team had been working all year on both series and that a batch of episodes would get released once more on YouTube for October and that the project could survive solely on Patreon donations. This was, of course, an unrealistic expectation and not entirely in the best interest of the team. But the reason I was hoping for this is that I and many others adore this project so much and would love it to be kept as independent and studio-interference free as much as possible. The reason being, I believe in Vivienne’s vision.

I love animated adult comedies, but one grows weary of animated sit-coms about the same nuclear family. In contrast, it’s just a breath of fresh air to see characters my age without families all over the LGBT spectrum. At some point during this Millenia what VivziePop is…
