‘Hazbin Hotel’ Season 2 Trailer Promises All Hell Breaking Loose, Reveals Shocking Return of Adam

 

Prime Video has dropped the official trailer for the highly anticipated second season of Vivienne Medrano’s hit adult animated musical, Hazbin Hotel, confirming the series will return on October 29th. The trailer is packed with new music, escalating conflict, and, most surprisingly, the resurrection of a key Season 1 antagonist thought to be permanently dead.

The biggest shockwave sent through the Hellaverse community is the return of Adam (voiced by Alex Brightman)—the arrogant First Man and leader of Heaven’s Exorcists, who met his demise at the hands of Niffty in the Season 1 finale.

Despite creator Vivienne Medrano’s earlier insistence that Adam was truly gone, the trailer features brief but significant appearances from the character. He is seen interacting with Lute, his second-in-command, and even delivers a signature dry remark about his son, Abel, suggesting an ongoing, messy family dynamic.

Given the finale’s decisive ending, the current prevailing fan theory is that Adam’s appearances are not a true resurrection, but rather visions, memories, or a spectral presence haunting Lute as she struggles to live up to his legacy. Regardless of the form, his continued involvement ensures his hilarious, high-energy persona will remain central to the narrative, fueling Lute’s path forward and complicating the already strained relations between Heaven and Hell.

Adam’s spectral influence directly informs the trajectory of Lute (Jessica Vosk), who is now seen physically carrying his legacy. The trailer shows her wearing Adam’s signature halo as a bracelet and wielding his guitar-axe, signaling her elevated and vengeful role in the upcoming season.

Meanwhile, in Hell, the power-hungry trio known as The Vees—led by the technologically obsessed overlord Vox (Christian Borle)—are seizing the opportunity created by Charlie’s victory over the Exorcists. With Charlie Morningstar (Erika Henningsen) focused on protecting her hotel and demonstrating that redemption is possible (a notion proven by the former sinner Sir Pentious now residing in Heaven), Vox is aggressively waging a propaganda war against her. The trailer promises a major confrontation between Vox and the Radio Demon, Alastor, confirming their bitter rivalry will be a focal point of the season.

The eight-episode second season will premiere on October 29th with a two-episode drop, followed by weekly releases, ensuring the musical mayhem continues through the fall.
