Netflix adds another major toon series to its menagerie of animated outings as Haunted Hotel makes its debut on the streaming service on Sept. 19.
Once known as The Undervale, the new animated comedy from Matt Roller (Community and Rick and Morty), follows a single mom doing her best to juggle family, a personal life, and the not-so-little matter of running a hotel crawling with ghosts. Equal parts heart and haunt, it’s poised to be the next binge-worthy obsession for animation-loving adults.
