Haunted Hotel Renewed at Netflix: Season 2 Is Booked — Cast Teases What’s Next
Check back in: Netflix renews animated chiller Haunted Hotel for Season 2, with more from the cast on what’s next.
Netflix wasted zero time with this one: Haunted Hotel arrived last month and the streamer has already locked in a second season. Adult animation is having a run right now, and this show slots right into the current wave.
Adult animation is thriving, and streaming is fueling it
Call it the golden age if you want. Since Rick & Morty blew up, grown-up cartoons have moved past the old family-sitcom mold of The Simpsons and Family Guy into weirder, riskier territory. Streaming helps a ton here — dropping full seasons at once lets fans binge, which is exactly how shows like BoJack Horseman and Big Mouth flourished on Netflix. Haunted Hotel feels like the latest proof of that formula.
The setup (and why it sounds familiar in a good way)
Haunted Hotel comes from Matt Roller, one of the key creative voices behind Rick & Morty — which explains the show’s dark-and-goofy energy. The core premise is simple and very Roller:
'A single mother of two struggles to run a haunted hotel with the help of her estranged brother, who is now one of the ghosts haunting the hotel and thinks the other ghosts have some pretty good ideas.'
Who you’ll hear
- Will Forte
- Eliza Coupe
- Skyler Gisondo
- Natalie Palamides
- Jimmi Simpson
Season 2 is a go, and the cast is already talking
With season 2 officially ordered, the team has been making the rounds. In a recent video chat, interviewer Steve Seigh spoke with Roller, Eliza Coupe, and Jimmi Simpson about season 1 — including the very practical question of whether any of them would spend the night in an actual haunted hotel. They answered, of course, and had fun with it. If you want the vibe of the show, that conversation gives you a pretty good taste.
Where to watch (and what’s next)
Haunted Hotel is streaming now on Netflix, and season 2 is on the way. For folks keeping tabs on the adult animation beat, the outlet behind that interview also teased more chats this week, including one with the Solar Opposites cast.
