Haunted Hotel

Synopsis

Voice cast

Main

• Will Forte as Nathan Freeling, Katherine's older brother who is a ghost, having died almost a year prior under circumstances he doesn't remember. He is a friendly and optimistic, albeit irresponsible person who tries to help out his sister around the hotel, whether it’s trying to get guests to stay, how to end curses, or fighting off evil spirits.
• Eliza Coupe as Katherine Freeling, a recent divorcée and the reluctant owner of the haunted Undervale Hotel in upstate New York and Nathan's younger sister. Business-minded and sensible, her attempts to keep everything running as smoothly as possible often come to a clash with the supernatural elements of the hotel and her family's various quirks, and forgets to make time for herself. She is still dealing with lingering grief and complicated emotions regarding Nathan and the circumstances of his death, refusing to discuss it with him.
• Skyler Gisondo as Ben Freeling, Katherine's young teen son and Nathan's nephew, who is socially awkward and tries to maintain some normality with his new life at the Undervale. He tries to be responsible and helpful, but is easily distracted by his creative passions or teenage growing pains. He is revealed to be a conduit for ghosts, much to both his intrigue and horror.
• Natalie Palamides as Esther Freeling, Katherine's precocious and mischievous preteen daughter and Nathan's niece, who enjoys using black magic and her new life at the Undervale. She struggles to make friends due to her eccentric behavior, and often butts heads with her mother and brother, but is fiercely loyal to her family. It is also revealed she has made several failed attempts to contact her estranged father, Katherine's ex husband, and has since found a father figure in her uncle Nathan.
• Jimmi Simpson as Abaddon, an ancient demon who is trapped in the body of a young boy from the 1700s. Egotistical and vindictive, he proves himself to be just as immature and childish as the vessel he inhabits. He fails to understand most modern-day technology or societal expectations, putting him at odds with Katherine's attempts to run the hotel. Despite his selfish, demonic nature, he ultimately has a soft spot for the Freeling family, especially a close bond with Esther, and will help them when circumstances become dire. He enjoys crawling through the hotel's vents for means of travel.

  Recurring

• Sunita Mani as Heather, a studious young Indian-American girl who is a classmate and friend to Esther. She shows surprising calmness towards all the supernatural events she walks in on.
• Riki Lindhome as Annabelle, an emotionally volatile teenage ghost who died in the 1930s. She resembles a flapper girl and is the girlfriend of Ben. She often is dramatic, and laments having died in clothes she hated.
• Duncan Trussell as Stabby Paul, a deranged serial killer ghost who enjoys stabbing people with a kitchen knife despite not being able to physically harm them with it. He is part of a band with other ghosts in the hotel, declaring that music was his passion, and stabbing was merely a hobby.
• Maria Bamford as Angela, a pale ghost woman from the Victorian era who was killed after breaking her neck from falling off an apple tree on the hotel grounds.
• Matt Roller as Candle Head, a ghost obsessed with candles, and whose body is covered in candle wax.
