Haunted Hotel Season 2 has arrived on Netflix, but Metacritic has not yet established a meaningful season-wide critic or user score. The available Metacritic listing for Season 2’s first episode shows a “tbd” user score and says a score becomes available after four ratings; it also lists no user reviews yet. That is more precise than saying the season has a settled zero score—or treating a tiny number of ratings as a verdict.
What Metacritic says—and what it doesn’t
Metacritic’s Season 2 episode listing currently displays “tbd” for the user score, notes that a score is available after four ratings, and says there are no user reviews yet. Its main Haunted Hotel page also separates Season 1’s established score from the still-developing Season 2 listing. Readers should check which season or episode a page refers to before sharing a number.
There is an important distinction between “no score available” and a score of zero. A “tbd” label means the platform has not displayed a settled score for that listing; it does not mean users rated the show zero. Likewise, no user reviews is not evidence that viewers disliked the season. It means there are no written user reviews shown on that page at the time checked.
Season 2 is new, so the numbers can change
Netflix released the eight-episode second season on October 9, 2026. With a new season, review pages and user-rating counts can take time to populate. Metacritic’s threshold note is a reminder that a user score needs a minimum number of ratings before it is shown; it should not be read as an overall audience consensus while that threshold has not been met.
The show’s principal voice cast includes Will Forte as Nathan, Eliza Coupe as Katherine, Skyler Gisondo as Ben, Natalie Palamides as Esther, and Jimmi Simpson as Abaddon. Creator Matt Roller leads the series. Those names help identify the work being rated, but the current Metacritic status is about the amount of rating data available—not a judgment about any individual performer.
How does that compare with Rotten Tomatoes?
Rotten Tomatoes’ Season 2 page is showing three critic reviews, including an 8.5/10 from LaNeysha Campbell of But Why Tho? and an 8/10 from Tania Hussain of Collider, alongside a positive pull quote from Tessa Smith of Mama’s Geeky. The same page reports fewer than 50 audience ratings. Those are Rotten Tomatoes figures, not Metacritic figures, and the two services should not be mixed together.
The early critic reviews are positive, but the audience-rating sample is still small. The safest conclusion is that review tracking is in its early stage: Metacritic has not yet displayed a settled Season 2 user score on the episode listing checked, while Rotten Tomatoes has a small set of critic reviews and fewer than 50 audience ratings.

Frequently asked questions
Does Haunted Hotel Season 2 have a Metacritic score?
The Metacritic Season 2 episode listing checked for this report shows “tbd” for its user score rather than a settled number, and says a score becomes available after four ratings.
Does “tbd” mean the show scored zero?
No. “Tbd” means a score has not been displayed for that listing. It is not a zero rating.
Are there Metacritic user reviews for Season 2?
The Season 2 episode listing checked for this article says there are no user reviews yet. This status can change as viewers submit ratings and reviews.
Is Rotten Tomatoes showing the same numbers?
No. Rotten Tomatoes currently lists three Season 2 critic reviews and fewer than 50 audience ratings. Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes use separate systems and should be reported separately.
Bottom line: As of October 10, 2026, the Metacritic listing checked does not provide a settled Season 2 user score or written user reviews. That is an early-data situation, not a negative rating. As more reviews arrive, the page may change—so the right approach is to report the current label accurately and avoid turning “tbd” into a score of zero.
