Hazbin HotelstarErika Henningsenmighthope for the best that her character Charlieever gets to see her long-lost mother, Lilith. However, series creatorVivienne Medranohinted that maybe fans shouldn’t put too much faith into a nice reunion. Sitting down at San Diego Comic-Con withPerri Nemiroffin the Collider Media Studio, the women discussed what we might expect from the mysterious Lilith.
“I think [Charlie] just wants to see [Lilith],”Henningsen said about her character. “Ireallyjust think she needs to see her. She wants to see her. I think Viv probably knows the answer beyond that.” Henningsen added a bit about her behind-the-scenes process of portraying Charlie, “I ask Viv to not tell me things because I don’t want to play the end before we get there. Right now, what I live in is the idea that she just wants to see her mom.”
In the first season of the adult animated musical, the Princess of Hell, Charlie Morningstarreunited with her father Lucifer, portrayed byJeremy Jordan. Episode 5 “Dad Beat Dad” was a major turning point in Charlie’s story with the addition of her father back in her life.Medrano told Nemiroff that episode 5in Season 2 was a personal favorite, stating, “So, personally, I’m a little biased. I really like Episode 5.It’s very grand, it’s very cool, and just involves a lot of characters I really personally like.” If Season 2 follows a similar format to Season 1 with a parent reveal, this could be one to look out for with Lilith.
Lilith Could Hurt Charlie in ‘Hazbin Hotel’ Season 2
Medrano was tight-lippedabout what Lilith might bring to the story. However, when Nemiroff mentioned how she worried that Charlie would be hurt by her mother, Medrano answered, “That’s the challenge is that you never know.I like hurting people." Henningsen added, “But it’s life! Sometimes thepeople who love you hurt you the most.”
Lilith was one of the two big reveals inHazbin Hotel’s Season 1 finale. After what looked to be the supposed death of Sir Pentious (Alex Brightman), the steampunk loving demon arrives in Heaven, completing his redemption arc. It proved that Charlie’s dream to redeem sinners was possible, threatening the balance between Heaven and Hell. The angel Lute (Jessica Vosk) brings this information to Lilith, commanding her to get her daughter in line. Medrano confirmed through Pentious’ story,we will see more of Heaven in Season 2.
Hazbin Hotel’s second season is on the way, but there isno release date at this time. The show has beenrenewed through Season 4.
