What is Haunted Hotel about?
The show follows single mother Katherine Freeling (Coupe), who inherits a spooky hotel from her brother, only to discover it’s filled with high-maintenance guests, including her brother (Forte). She attempts to wrangle her undead roommates with her two kids, Esther (Palamides) and Ben (Gisondo), and Abaddon (Simpson), an ancient evil demon and former gatekeeper of the fifth ring of Hell whose soul is inside the body of a 1700s Puritan boy. Hijinks ensue.
“Back when I was working on Season 2 of Rick and Morty… That’s not when I wrote it exactly, but it was a short time after that [when] I started digging in on the script,” series creator Matt Roller told TV Insider. “I loved working on Rick and Morty, and I loved the wild stories we could tell there, but it was very sci-fi focused, and my passion has always been in the horror space. And so I wanted to create a horror version of Rick and Morty.”
“And that didn’t mean, like one-to-one, just swap out everyone and put them in a horror setting, but it was kind of the genesis of the idea because I had a lot of horror movies that I wanted to riff on instead of sci-fi movies. So I set out to create a world that I could just play in forever,” said Roller
