Haunted Hotel Season 2 early reviews are highlighting the Netflix animated comedy’s mix of supernatural chaos, family drama, and dark humor. In an October 9, 2026 review, The Sunday Guardian gave the new season 3.5 out of 5 stars, describing a return to the Undervale Hotel with familiar characters, new supernatural problems, and additional employees. This article summarizes the review’s main points in original wording and links to the source.

What The Sunday Guardian says about Haunted Hotel Season 2

In her review, Deepika Pundir for The Sunday Guardian awarded Season 2 a 3.5/5 rating. The review notes that the series continues to blend paranormal comedy with the Freeling family’s attempts to keep the Undervale running as a real hotel. More creatures and new staff members create fresh situations, while the relationship between Katherine, her late brother Nathan, and the demon Abaddon remains an emotional anchor.

The review also points to a familiar challenge for the series: when every hotel problem can become another supernatural emergency, the stream of strange encounters can start to feel repetitive. Its verdict is broadly positive, but stresses that character development matters as much as bizarre monsters and shock comedy.

Early-review roundup: how the season is being received

What’s on Netflix also published a Season 2 review on October 9, describing the new episodes as delivering frights, laughs, and heart. It highlights expanded worldbuilding, emotional payoffs, and a stronger focus on Nathan. Read each outlet’s full review for its own reasoning; the ratings and opinions belong to the publications, not to Netflix or this blog.

Across these early responses, the main points to watch are the show’s balance of horror and comedy, its family relationships, and whether new supernatural stories feel fresh across all eight episodes. These are critics’ first impressions, not a universal audience consensus.
