My “calling it now” guesses/predictions for future seasons of Hazbin Hotel:
Lilith’s deal with Adam somehow involved her not being able to use her voice (which is framed as one of her greatest strengths) or contact her family, and the reason she didn’t act in between Adam dying and calling Charlie will be clarified at some point.
Lilith and Rosie are somehow connected and possibly have some kind of deal involving Rosie keeping an eye on Charlie. Either related to said deal or a separate one, Lilith has something to do with Rosie forcing Alastor off the air. I’m just not fully convinced that the seven year thing was a coincidence/complete red herring.
(soft guess) Rosie is Eve, and Eve is Roo. Frank was actually Rosie’s second (or more) husband, and the “first husband” she jokingly claims she would have eaten if he hadn’t tasted so bad was actually Adam. She’s so powerful because she was actually one of the first sinners and isn’t actually like the others, and the cannibalism is either part of her persona or a roundabout reference to her eating the apple and introducing sin to humankind. Viv has previously depicted Roo as also wearing a big hat (yep, that’s my basis for that one, as well as their names starting with the same letters).
The hotel is going to reluctantly team up with The iPad Vox at some point in order to take down Valentino and Velvette, possibly to do with trying to get Angel back.
There’s more to Vox and Alastor’s backstory than what we’ve been given so far. Maybe I’m holding on too tight to the “complicated and sad” thing, but I just don’t think we’ve seen the “complicated” part yet. Alastor being an asshole is pretty simple. It’s Alastor. I think there’s going to be some reveal about what was actually going on with Alastor’s side of things. He potentially had to turn Vox down on Rosie’s orders or for some other convoluted reason. Are we really pretending that the same man who dared make a deal with the Princess of Hell without even having an exact plan on what to do with it wouldn’t have at least seen an opportunity to use Vox’s proposition for his own gain?
Angel was either forced to kill his father or did so protecting Molly.
I know everyone is leaning towards Cherri, but I think the next to ascend to Heaven is going to be either Husk or Angel. It won’t be at the same time. Whichever of them goes first leaving Hell will be the final push for the other to try to be good for real. Cherri and Pentious are going to be a slow burn long-distance and Cherri won’t make it to Heaven until later. If I had to take a stab at the order, I’d have to say Husk, Cherri, Angel.
We’re going to get Vaggi’s final backstory in S3. We already pretty much know that she was created by Adam to be an exorcist, but we’re going to find out exactly how, and whether Lute and the other exorcists were created the same way (if so, Lute’s issues just gained a whole new level).
Whatever communication there is with Lilith is going to establish that she and Lucifer are actually separated, at least temporarily. Lucifer is going to go through an awkward dating app phase to try to get over it. That one is just a want and not strictly a prediction.
Someone at some point is going to realise that Niffty is the only thing Alastor actually cares about, and it’s going to be a problem. One detail I loved in S2 was that he doesn’t actually go from taunting Vox to trying to de-escalate the situation until Niffty is at gun point and in genuine danger.
Process of elimination says we’ll probably get Niffty’s backstory and an expansion of Charlie’s.
Arackniss will be introduced and there’s going to be a whole thing about him being salty about being the older brother and being the smallest. Definitely not speaking as someone whose younger sister is five inches taller than them.
That’s all for now! I’ll probably edit or reblog as more occur to me ❤️
