Added on September 26, 2025 inTV News Cards

Ever wonder if Mercury Retrograde had something to do with a haunted hotel popping up on Netflix just when you’re wrestling with your own ghostly miscommunications? Well, Netflix clearly believes in second chances—because “Haunted Hotel,” barely out of the gate, is already gearing up for round two. This animated oddity, brewed by Matt Roller from the “Rick and Morty” universe, snagged a spot in Netflix’s top 10 English-language shows worldwide within a week of its debut. Not bad for a place where a single mom and her ectoplasmic brother tussle over spectral guest lists, right? Critics might say it’s just “pleasantly unobjectionable,” but with voices like Eliza Coupe and Will Forte, and Titmouse’s slick animation, this quirky haunt is definitely casting a spell that’s hard to resist. So, what’s more mysterious: the hotel’s spirits or the stars aligning for its swift renewal? Take your bets . . . and meanwhile, why not check in for yourself? LEARN MORE

Netflix is booking another stay at Haunted Hotel.

The streamer has ordered a second season of the animated series from Rick and Morty alum Matt Roller. The renewal was a quick one: Haunted Hotel premiered just one week ago. The 10-episode season made Netflix’s top 10 English-language series worldwide for its opening weekend, gathering 1.8 million views (7.5 million hours of viewing divided by a run time of 4 hours, 14 minutes) in its first three days.

The series has received mixed-to-positive reviews, with THR noting that “Despite a solid cast and some decent jokes, the series rarely rises above the level of pleasantly unobjectionable.”

Haunted Hotel centers on a single mother (voiced by Eliza Coupe) who runs a — wait for it — haunted hotel along with her estranged brother (Will Forte), who happens to be one of the ghosts who inhabit the property and really thinks the other spirits have some good ideas about the place. Skyler Gisondo, Natalie Palamides and Jimmi Simpson also star.

Titmouse (Big Mouth, Star Trek: Lower Decks) is the animation studio on Haunted Hotel. Roller created the series and executive produces with Chris McKenna, Dan Harmon, Steve Levy and Titmouse’s Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio and Ben Kalina. Erica Hayes is supervising director.
