There are few modern animated spectacles that have captured the internet’s collective devotion quite like Hazbin Hotel. With its gleeful chaos, razor-sharp writing, and devilishly memorable characters, Vivienne Medrano and her creative team have carved out the wildly beloved Hellaverse. Now, they have set their sights on Andrew Hussie’s sprawling webcomic Homestuck, promising an animated adaptation as unpredictable as its source to expand Hellaverse. Fans are already envisioning the sheer absurdity of Homestuck’s time loops meeting Hazbin Hotel’s infernal flair, which leads us directly to the details you really want.

The release date, cast choices, and plot direction for Homestuck promise to intrigue even the most seasoned webcomic veterans and animation devotees.

The animated pilot for Homestuck is scheduled to premiere this September on Vivienne Medrano’s official YouTube channel, as announced during a Florida convention. The project, led by Medrano and her team of Hellaverse animators, marks the first screen adaptation of Andrew Hussie’s 2009 webcomic since its conclusion in 2016. While a full series has not yet been confirmed, the pilot’s release has already generated anticipation among long-time readers and animation enthusiasts eager to see the sprawling narrative brought to life.

Homestuck follows four teenagers whose decision to play a mysterious online game, SBURB, results in the obliteration of Earth. Thrust into a sprawling quest, they navigate strange realms, manipulate timelines, and confront alternate dimensions, all while encountering a vivid assortment of allies and adversaries. The narrative interlaces science fiction, fantasy, and absurdist adventure, bringing together humans, alien trolls, and cosmic forces in a tale that is as intricate as it is unpredictable.

The story’s sheer scale, from multiversal politics to eccentric character arcs, demands performers capable of mastering its tonal extremes. Boy, would they need a cast precise enough to capture every idiosyncratic voice with complete accuracy.

The Homestuck animated pilot boasts a cast as eclectic as its source material. Toby “Radiation” Fox will voice John Egbert, Cherami Leigh will portray Rose Lalonde, Colleen O’Shaughnessey will bring Jade Harley to life, Adam McArthur will voice Dave Strider, and Brandon Winckler will take on Karkat Vantas. Together, they represent talent from video games, anime, and Western animation. Much like the pleasureful adaptation of The Twits, this production signals a growing appetite for unconventional stories in animated form.

Guiding this vocal ensemble is veteran actor Richard Horvitz as voice director, supported by executive producer Vivienne Medrano. The creative team includes Skye Henwood as director and writer, Mel Shin as storyboard director, Ben Jones as animation director, and Hone as art director. Their combined experience promises a visually and narratively cohesive take on Andrew Hussie’s sprawling tale, ensuring the tonal whiplash and intricate character dynamics are delivered with both precision and flair
