‘Hazbin Hotel’ Is One Hell Of A Good Time. This Musician Helped The Show Find Its Voice.

To musician Sam Haft, working on two seasons of “Hazbin Hotel” was been both a professional highlight and a personal full-circle moment.

Haft has written more than 70 songs for the adult animated series with Andrew Underberg, a three-time Emmy nominee. The pair’s friendship, however, dates back to their teenage years, when they both attended the Collegiate School in New York City. Collaborating with a longtime pal on a project with such “a heart-on-your-sleeve, deeply emotional message” at its core came naturally, Haft said.

The second season of “Hazbin Hotel” premiered on Amazon Prime Video to critical acclaim in October. The series, written and created by Vivienne “VivziePop” Medrano, follows Lucifer’s daughter Charlie Morningstar (voiced by Erika Henningsen), who dreams of opening a hotel aimed at rehabilitating demons in hell so that they can be accepted into heaven.

To execute her vision, Charlie teams up with her girlfriend Vaggi (Stephanie Beatriz), and lands a first patron in an X-rated movie actor, Angel Dust (Blake Roman).

However, not everything goes exactly to plan in the Hellaverse, and Charlie’s hope of redemption is opposed by Adam (Alex Brightman), who descends from heaven every six months to exterminate souls, and his second-in-command, Lute (Jessica Vosk).
