GalaxyCon, the largest independently owned consumer and fan engagement company, has announced an exclusive SpindleHorse Panel at Animate! Orlando, taking place this Saturday, August 9 at the Orange County Convention Center. The prodco, which was founded by Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss creator Vivienne Medrano, today revealed that the session will livestream on YouTube with a special announcement from the con.
The livestream will launch Sat., Aug. 9 at 2:15 p.m. EST at this link.
“We truly couldn’t be more excited to host this exclusive SpindleHorse panel,” said Mike Broder, President and Founder of GalaxyCon. “The passion that Hellaverse fans have is unmatched right now, and this panel is a can’t miss event for both fans and press alike.”
Medrano’s hit adult animated series, which have won over fans with their distinctive designs, characters and belting Hell-bound musical numbers, have both been acquired by Prime Video after becoming hits on YouTube. Hazbin Hotel Season 1 launched on Prime in January 2024 at No. 1 on the streamer’s charts as its biggest animated premiere to date (the show’s pilot episode debuted on YouTube in 2019 and has accumulated 117+ million views). Helluva Boss boasts 850 million views on YouTube and will launch Season 1 and 2 on Prime Video this Fall, with two more seasons on order for the platform.
At the Hellaverse panel at SDCC, it was revealed that the first episode of Helluva Boss Season 3 (a re-work of Mission Zero) will premiere alongside the first two seasons on Prime.
