Haunted Hotel features a voice cast headlined by Will Forte, Eliza Coupe, Skyler Gisondo, Natalie Palamides as the main family we see in the trailer. “I’m thrilled to be working with Netflix and an amazingly talented cast and crew to bring to life the stories of the dead, the evil, and the struggling hospitality workers at the Undervale Hotel,” series creator Matt Roller shared in a statement with Netflix when it was first announced. Given Roller’s past credits and the team involved thus far, this could be a pretty big show.

What Is Haunted Hotel About?

Judging by the trailer, Haunted Hotel is going to be mixing its creepy denizens with ways to bring out the comedy of this mismatched family. Netflix themselves tease what to expect from the new animated series as such, “A single mother of two struggles to run a haunted hotel with the help of her estranged brother, who is now one of the ghosts haunting the hotel and thinks the other ghosts have some pretty good ideas.”

“Haunted Hotel is wildly inventive and I’m very grateful to Matt, Chris, Dan, and their team for bringing their talents to Netflix,” Billy Wee, Netflix Director of Adult Animation stated about the new series. “They are phenomenal collaborators and I can’t wait for fans all over the world to experience this hilarious show.” There’s a hope that this new animated series has a better shelf life than seen with some of Netflix’s other releases, but it looks promising so far. Rick and Morty has been doing well for Adult Swim, so this could follow suit.
