Season 1 of Amazon Studios and A24's Hazbin Hotel ended with Amir Talai's Alastor getting his ego bruised by Adam, the douchebag angel from Heaven, who bested everyone's favorite radio demon in a fight. While Niffty kills Adam for good, Alastor remains fragile and defeated.
The Direct attended press roundtable interviews at New York Comic-Con (NYCC), where we asked Amir Talai how Alastor will fare in Season 2 of the hit animated series following that notable defeat at the hands of an angel.
Talai explained that he "[doesn't] think he's gonna let on to what extent he is hurt," though, like usual, he's going to have "a smile" nonetheless:
Amir Talai: Well, so, outwardly, he certainly is gonna react the way he reacts to everything, which is a smile. I don't think he's gonna let on to what extent he is hurt, to what extent he's scared, but I think internally, there's a real sense that, like he didn't think that was possible, it wasn't possible to be hurt in that way.
Talai noted that as Season 2 progresses, "there is a feat and a desperation to make sure that that cannot happen again:"
Talai: And so there is a fear and a desperation to make sure that that cannot happen again. And I think that that's going to be sort of a really interesting part of his journey in this season. First of all, how do I get out of my deal? Because that's very, very—I know that as long as I'm under someone's power, I can be hurt, right? So how do I get out of my deal? And I think that's going to be interesting to see where he goes.
