In the article, it states that season 1 will be released in the end of 2021. I don't think this is correct. The way this is worded makes it seem as if all the episodes will be dropped at once, which Medrano has stated is not happening. In addition, Medrano has been sharing teasers for episode 2 on her Instagram, and she stated in both the description of Helluva Boss episode 1 and in the Black Friday merch advertisement that a new HB episode was coming out 'soon'. I don't think a year from now is 'soon', and the progress they have made on the episode certainly looks that it could be released before the end of 2021. I'll have to take a look at the source again later, but I don't think it was correct. Blubewwy ( talk) 13:49, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
I agree, I don't think the source got it right when they said 2021 as the release of the first episode, and the soon-to-be-released second episode shows. Historyday01 ( talk) 14:16, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
Someone seems to have reworded the description of episode 2 of Helluva Boss, and made it an awful mess compared to what it was before. I'm not an extremely advanced Wikipedia editor, so I don't know how to get the old description back, but if someone more experienced than me could bring the old description of it back, it'd be great. For the time being however, I have rephrased the current description so that it is at least readable and doesn't sound like a child wrote it. Blubewwy ( talk) 14:24, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
Haha, it's fine. The old description for episode 2 was used about a week ago, so if you could find the page's version from January 23 it would most likely be there. Blubewwy ( talk) 17:35, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
There have been dozens of edits over time switching how Vivienne Medrano's name is written after the lead. There should be consistency and a consensus on what it should be. My thoughts are that the article itself (excluding the infobox and episode tables) should have her full name once, then only her last name to refer to her from then on. In the infobox, her name should be written in full each time, and in the episode table, the first episode overall should include her full name in the crediting, with the remaining going for just her last name.

Sounds cool! I was thinking about a page for ZooPhobia as well, so if you do happen to get a page made for it, I'll probably help out on the page. Blubewwy ( talk) 12:41, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
There isn't a consensus on which genre Helluva Boss is. The genres added to the infobox (in April) are as follows: musical film, crime (genre), action fiction/ adventure fiction, dramedy, animated sitcom, black comedy, supernatural fiction, and adult animation. What genres should HB be?
Here's my opinion on each. Musical film: while it's not a film, it kinda makes sense. There might be a better link, but I can't find it, so if there is, please replace it. Crime: while there is crime, that's not a defining characteristic of the show, 'crime' is more of a mystery-solving thing. Action-adventure: the show isn't action-packed, nor does it have an adventure feeling to it. Dramedy: I would say it's a comedy, but not a drama. Animated sitcom: it's definitely not a sitcom. Black comedy: yeah sure. Supernatural fiction: ehh... maybe? I don't think the show would be 'supernatural.' Adult animation: uncontroversially yes. SWinxy ( talk) 18:42, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Genres should be based on what reliable sources list them as and not on personal interpretations. Limit of the three most relevant genres in accordance with MOS:TVLEAD and WP:WEIGHT.
In my opinion, Helluva Boss is adult animation and musical. I kind of disagree on the black comedy thing, because dark humor is making fun of specifically controversial things, and the only controversial joke that was in Helluva Boss was when Blitzo said the r-word in the pilot (at least, as far as I remember).

There is WP:OVERKILL for one sentence. The series follows the employees of I.M.P. (Immediate Murder Professionals), an imp-run assassination company in Hell, on their many different jobs.[11][12][13][14][15]
Please fix it. CycoMa ( talk) 17:16, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
I'm not too happy with the voice cast being filled up and I don't think it's necessary to include minor characters or characters who have a secondary voice actor. I wanna say for the main cast, only the primary voices. For the starring roles, only people with Wikipedia pages. Keep the other voice actors in the sub article. Yay or nay? SWinxy ( talk) 22:56, 31 July 2022 (UTC) EDIT: We also should figure out the inclusion criteria for the infobox. SWinxy ( talk) 22:58, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

With the release of each new episode, I find the episode descriptions to be getting longer and longer. The most recent one for the episode that was released earlier today is extremely long and is most definitely WP:FANCRUFT. I propose removing the plot descriptions entirely, as since Helluva Boss has yet to actually tell a story whose plot goes beyond a single episode (aside from existing character relationships that don't really change), they don't serve much purpose. If anyone here feels that we should still have at least some of a description for the episodes, I can just cut them down to the very basic information. Blubewwy ( talk) 04:02, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
Why are we not allowed to put people with no Wikipedia pages on the cast list, even though the person that I put on there plays the character in Season 2? 173.53.35.177 ( talk) 01:18, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
It's been recently pointed out by other people that the IMDB page for Helluva Boss lists well over 400 different animators, cleanup artists, and background artists as having worked on HB, which is an unusually high amount for such a short series. I think something about this should be noted in this article or on SpindleHorse's article. It's notable. Anomalocarididae ( talk) 00:05, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
