Netflix has officially renewed Haunted Hotel for a second season, announcing the news just in time for spooky season.
The adult animated comedy, which debuted last week, quickly climbed into the Global English TV Top 10, making the renewal feel both timely and earned. To mark the announcement, Netflix released a set of new, eerie posters teasing more haunted hijinks ahead.
The series comes from Matt Roller (Rick & Morty), who continues to lean into offbeat humor and supernatural absurdity. For fans of animated comedies that balance sharp writing with outrageous scenarios, this return signals more twisted fun on the horizon.
A Quick Recap of Season 1
Season 1 introduced viewers to a single mother trying to keep a crumbling hotel afloat, a hotel that happens to be very much haunted. Her biggest ally and occasional headache is her estranged brother, now one of the ghosts lingering on the property. Alongside a ragtag lineup of spectral residents with wildly unhelpful ideas, she faces both real-world and otherworldly challenges.
The show’s first batch of episodes mixed family dysfunction, workplace chaos, and paranormal comedy in a way that resonated with fans of Rick & Morty–style storytelling. The early success on Netflix’s global charts shows that audiences are hungry for more.
Who’s Behind the Series
Matt Roller serves as creator and executive producer, joined by Chris McKenna and Dan Harmon (Rick & Morty), Steve Levy, and Chris Prynoski of Titmouse, along with Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina. Erica Hayes (Rick & Morty) steps in as supervising director, keeping the show’s snappy timing and visual flair intact.
The voice cast features Will Forte, Eliza Coupe, Skyler Gisondo, Natalie Palamides, and Jimmi Simpson, whose performances helped land the show on Netflix’s coveted Top 10 list so soon after launch.
What to Expect From Season 2
While Netflix hasn’t revealed plot specifics, the Season 2 renewal hints at deeper dives into the hotel’s ghostly politics and the fraught sibling dynamic at its core. Fans can likely expect more clever genre riffs, unexpected twists, and the kind of sharp, self-aware humor that defined the first season.
Why the Renewal Matters
Netflix renewals for adult animation can be unpredictable, but Haunted Hotel broke through early with strong audience engagement. Its combination of dark humor, heartfelt family tension, and supernatural chaos helped it stand out in a crowded lineup. Returning for a second season suggests Netflix sees long-term potential in the show’s world, a win for fans looking for a new animated favorite with bite.
