A bit of background

Vivienne Medrano started out posting animations and projects under the VivziePop name on YouTube and Newgrounds, where she built a strong online following. Over time she developed the concept of Hazbin Hotel, with some characters and ideas dating back to her school years. She later founded the animation studio SpindleHorse, which produced the original Hazbin Hotel pilot that dropped on her YouTube channel in 2019 and went viral among animation fans.

That success helped the project get picked up and turned into a full television series, with Medrano still at the creative center of it. Today, Hazbin Hotel is part of a wider “Hellaverse” that also includes the spin-off Helluva Boss, which she likewise created.
