The Hazbin Hotel Backstory Revealed: A Major Season 3 Tease
Vivienne Medrano, the creator of the animated series Hazbin Hotel, has unveiled that recent developments in season 2 are setting the stage for a significant narrative shift. The “It’s a Deal” episode, which aired on November 6, 2025, not only delves into the past of fan-favorite character Alastor but also hints at upcoming revelations that fans will eagerly await.
Alastor’s Dark Past
The “It’s a Deal” episode reveals that Alastor was once a serial killer in his human life. He anticipated his inevitable descent into Hell and made contact with the afterlife to secure a powerful position there. Rosie, leader of Hell’s cannibal community, offered him a deal: her power for his soul. This agreement has left many questions unanswered, chief among them being how Rosie acquired such formidable powers.
Rosie’s Mysterious Deal
Vivienne Medrano explains that the Alastor-Rosie deal is just one stepping stone in a larger narrative that will be explored in season 3. “The Rosie and Alastor deal is the first stepping stone in a much bigger story that involves so much, moving into season 3,” she states. This revelation comes as no surprise to fans, who have been speculating about the nature of these powerful figures for months.
Season 3 Awaits
Vivien Medrano has yet to provide a specific timeline for the release of season 3, given that animation production is a slow process. However, she expresses excitement over how fans will receive the new information. “There’s no telling yet how long the audience will have to wait for Hazbin Hotel’s third season,” she says. “But I’m very excited for people to see it.” The creator also hints at addressing unresolved questions from previous episodes, such as why Rosie ordered Alastor to disappear for seven years, which weakened his influence in Hell.
The episode’s backstory offers another glimpse into the human forms of Sinner Demons. Vivienne Medrano shares that a lot of thought goes into these character designs: “The human versions of the characters carry so much weight.” She gives the example of Sir Pentious, whose Victorian-era design was debated internally to find the best representation.
While the exact release date for season 3 remains uncertain, fans can look forward to more revelations about their favorite characters and the complex world of Hazbin Hotel.
New episodes of Hazbin Hotel season 2 are available on Prime Video every Wednesday, keeping viewers engaged until the next big update in the animated series.
For now, the mystery continues. Fans will have to wait for Vivienne Medrano’s promises to be fulfilled in season 3, which is expected to delve deeper into the lore and mythology of Hazbin Hotel.
