I'm Convinced Hazbin Hotel Is Already Setting Up Its Biggest Missing Characters

The gates of Hell—and Prime Video—are set to reopen on October 29, 2025, for the highly anticipated second season of Hazbin Hotel. The first season, released in January 2024, was a fiery blend of catchy musical numbers, sharp wit, and surprisingly deep lore, leaving us with more than a few burning questions. While Charlie Morningstar’s mission to redeem sinners gained powerful momentum (though slightly complicated thanks to certain angels), the true mysteries were unfolding in both Heaven and Hell. Season 1 ended with an epic fight between the forces of Heaven’s “Exorcists” and the residents and allies of Hazbin Hotel, ending with Charlie and her ragtag bunch of demons taking the day. However, the final moments of the show introduce a shocking cliffhanger: Lute, one of the most vicious angels, survives the battle and finds herself on a beach, confronting none other than Lilith—Adam’s first wife, Lucifer’s estranged wife, and Charlie’s mother. Not much is known about Lilith, other than the fact that she abandoned Hell for a more comfortable life on the mysterious beach (perhaps in Heaven).

Lilith is the show’s biggest confirmed card waiting to be played. But the chess pieces being moved suggest that the return of this Queen of Hell is just the tip of the iceberg. With Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy confirmed to join Season 2 as Abel—Adam’s second-born son—the stage is set for the arrival of one of the most well-known and important biblical figures whose appearance would perfectly mirror and dramatically complicate the already tangled family dynamic of Hell’s royalty: Abel’s mother, Eve. With Heaven and Hell now locked in an unresolved battle, Eve’s possible introduction could turn into a deeply personal, millennia-old family drama, showing that the greatest battles in this universe aren’t between good and evil, but between broken families.

The Morningstars’ Reconciliation is Preparing the Ground for Another Original Family

The emotional core of Hazbin Hotel is the fractured family of Hell. Charlie’s earnest and naive optimism is a trait inherited from her overprotective father, Lucifer, and her absent mother, Lilith. Their respective powers—creation and rebellion—are the two poles around which Charlie’s own identity spins. Season 1 explored a well-paced arc that healed at least half of this rift, with Lucifer finally showing up for his daughter, explaining how deep his love for her always ran, and proving that he would always be at her side moving forward. This touching father-daughter reconciliation is what makes the setup for Season 2 so exciting.

Lilith is being actively brought back into the fold, not as a shadowy figure of Charlie’s memory or a mystery, but on behalf of the surviving leader of the Exorcists, Lute. With the Queen of Hell seemingly set to rejoin her husband and daughter to quell Charlie’s pursuit of redeeming damned souls, the show is establishing a very obvious nuclear royal family in Hell.

A reunited Morningstar’s family unit in Season 2 would be the perfect counterweight for the introduction of Heaven’s own first family. Audiences already met Adam, the original man, as the arrogant, crass, and destructive leader of the Exorcists, who ultimately found himself on the receiving end of one of Nifty’s knives (Charlie said stab!). But Abel’s introduction in Season 2 adds a stunning layer of potential. As the second son of Adam and Eve, Abel’s presence in Heaven alongside his father, as seen in the full-length trailer for the upcoming season, directly mirrors Hell’s Lucifer and Charlie.

The Arrival of Abel and Lilith Practically Guarantees Eve’s Debut

While Lilith and Abel’s respective returns are the most concrete setups for Season 2, the truly missing piece that completes the biblical symmetry is Eve. If Lilith is the original rebel and first wife, Eve is the woman who defines all of humanity—Adam’s second wife, and the literal mother of all life (and death). Her absence thus far is frankly surprising. The drama of Adam, Abel, and potentially even Cain (who would surely reside in Hell for originating the sin of murder, perhaps as a foil to Charlie’s next mission or a new ally for the season’s presumptive antagonists, The Vees) hinges on Eve’s perspective. What does the first mother think of her family’s eternal separation—the murder of one son, and the damnation of another?

Eve would serve as the most striking Heavenly counterpoint to Lilith, putting the two women who were essentially responsible for all things as pillars of power—Eve in Heaven and Lilith in Hell. The story of Adam and Lilith’s failed marriage after Lilith fell in love with Lucifer is what sets the entire plot of Hazbin Hotel in motion, as Lucifer and Lilith were seen as a threat to the order of Heaven and banished to their own realm—Hell.

Eve, as the quieter second wife, the one who remained and gave birth to his children, thus creating all of humanity, would introduce a new type of drama. She wouldn’t just be a character; she would be a heavyweight player capable of challenging Lilith on a personal level, questioning Adam’s harsh leadership, and, most importantly, providing an alternative, motherly perspective that Charlie—whose relationship with Lilith is colored by abandonment—desperately lacks. Eve’s inclusion in Season 2 would make her the logical, emotional, and structural core that would throw an already chaotic Heaven into complete disarray, which could equal the unrest brewing in Hell.

The introduction of Eve alongside the already established Adam and Abel—mirroring Lucifer, Lilith, and Charlie’s complicated history—would transform Hazbin Hotel from a story about a princess determined to save the damned with her hotel into an epic about two broken, immortal families whose conflicts dictate the fate of the universe.
