In the description of the short, it explains, “NEXT EPISODE COMING VERY SOON DON'T WORRY!! But we are excited to introduce [that] we are doing some newHelluva SHORTS! We want to bring everyone moreHelluva content between episodes and there's just too many fun adventures to have with these characters- so enjoy the first of many Helluva shorts.”
Medrano explained during theHelluva Boss panel at LVLUP EXPO, “We have so many characters that we have to really figure out ways to include them in bigger episodes. And obviously, the show has become more of a narrative, and it has things that need to be accomplished, and it takes so long to create. So, the shorts felt like themost natural way to explore many more stories, many more characters in a way that is much more manageable to get done in a shorter amount of time. It can also kind of feed these big long hiatuses that we have to have. Animation takes a long time.” It’s unknown at this time how many shorts are in the works.
