Hazbin Hotel: parents' guide

17+our pick

Best for ages 17 and up. Rated TV-MA.

An adult animated musical set in Hell that is unsuitable for kids and most younger teens, despite the big following its YouTube pilot built among teens. Lucifer's daughter Charlie runs a hotel meant to redeem sinners while demons and angels go to war. Violence is bloody and constant, the first episode alone has more than 20 f-words, and sexual jokes never stop. A main character is a porn performer whose boss beats and sexually abuses him, and he snorts cocaine and drinks to cope. This covers both seasons (2024 and 2025). Age 17 reflects the sexual violence, drug use and relentless profanity.

What's in it

Violence

Strong

Frequent gore: stabbings, gunshots to the face, spurting blood, demons eating a corpse, characters setting themselves on fire, and angels massacring sinners. Sexual violence is threatened repeatedly and carried out, as Angel Dust is assaulted by his boss and coworkers.

Language

Strong

Relentless profanity, including in song lyrics: Plugged In counted 23 f-words in the first episode, plus a dozen s-words and the c-word. Crude terms for genitals and a middle finger also appear.

Sex and nudity

Strong

Graphic sexual jokes and innuendo throughout. Angel Dust is a porn performer, shown filming a scene, who propositions others and has sex with demons. Several characters threaten sexual assault, sometimes as a joke and sometimes seriously.

Drinking, drugs and smoking

Strong

Characters drink constantly, and one asks for a whole bottle of whiskey. Angel Dust snorts cocaine and goes along with a drink he knows is spiked until a friend steps in. Addiction is part of his story.

Scary or intense scenes

Strong

Hellish imagery, demonic transformations and big battle sequences fill every episode, and flashbacks show a serial killer's crimes and a villain murdering rivals. The scenes of Angel Dust's abuse are the most disturbing material.

Sensitive topics

  • Sexual assault
  • Addiction

Worth talking about

Angel Dust stays with his abuser partly because he feels owned and trapped; talk about how manipulation and control work in abusive relationships and how people find a way out.
