If you've not had the opportunity to fall down the Helluverse rabbit hole, allow this to be your first nudge.
Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss are two incredible adult indie-animation web series created by Vivienne "Vivziepop" Medrano. Hazbin Hotel's warm reception in 2019 allowed for the creation of Helluva Boss, and both have certainly taken the world by storm. From California to the UK, you'd be hard pressed to attend a cosplay convention without seeing one of hell's denizens skulking the grounds. Both shows explore an expansive and fascinating world made of hellish beings, included Goetian royals, the 7 deadly sins, overlords, imps, hellhounds, succubi, and sinners to name a few. In addition to dynamic world-building, the Helluverse offers incredible music and an illustrious voice cast, with stars like Youtube icon Brandon Rogers, legend Richard Horvitz, Tony-nominated sensation Bryce Pinkham, and the incredible Edward Bosco. What started as an independent team of budding animators flourished into two ground-breaking, hit series buzzing with momentum. Hazbin Hotel's first season will premiere through A24 in 2023, while Helluva Boss is currently in production for its 3rd season.
Many of you hellians likely caught the cosplay bug since the introduction of these eclectic, captivating characters. I myself have come down with quite a strong case since my introduction to Helluva Boss in particular. The wonderful world of Helluverse is ever-expanding, and the excitement from fans is practically overflowing! It's time to celebrate the artistry within this fandom that brings these richly intriguing and devilishly charming characters to life.
DISCLAIMER(S): I am one writer, limited by my inner circle, the people I've met at conventions, and what my algorithms show me. There are thousands of Helluverse cosplayers out there! If you didn't see a character or cosplayer you were hoping to, shout them out in the comments! Secondly, many of the cosplayers featured do several Helluverse cosplays. I refrained from doing too many duplicates except for characters from different shows, or for characters with fewer cosplays. Please check out their other work and visit their respective sites to continue supporting their incredible craft. And lastly, I do not own any part of Helluva Boss or Hazbin Hotel. Now with that out of the way, let us enjoy some spectacular cosplays together!
