As of October 10, 2026, Metacritic’s Season 2 page for Haunted Hotel lists no critic reviews and no Metascore. It also says a user score is available only after four ratings, while the page currently shows no user reviews or ratings. That means the claim that the season has “one user score” is not supported by the live page checked for this article.
This is a snapshot, not a verdict on the show’s quality. Season 2 only premiered on October 9, and review aggregators update at different speeds. The absence of a Metacritic score should be read as “not enough eligible data listed yet,” not as a negative rating.
What does Metacritic currently show?
The Metacritic Season 2 page states that critic reviews are not available yet. It lists the Metascore as “tbd,” shows zero critic reviews, and says a user score becomes available after four ratings. The same page currently says there are no user reviews yet.
Those details matter because a blank score and a low score are very different things. Metacritic has not assigned Season 2 a poor rating; it has not yet published an aggregate score on the page. Likewise, a user score threshold is not the same as a confirmed count of one user rating.
Other review sites already have critic reactions
Metacritic’s empty review section does not mean no critics have reviewed the season. Rotten Tomatoes’ Season 2 page currently lists three critic reviews, including reviews from But Why Tho?, Mama’s Geeky, and Collider. Their published scores differ, but each offers a written critical response rather than a platform-wide consensus.
What’s on Netflix also published a Season 2 review on October 9, awarding 3.5 out of 5 and praising the show’s mix of spooky comedy, stronger worldbuilding, and extra focus on Nathan. This is a separate publication’s rating; it should not be presented as a Metacritic score.
Why review counts can differ across platforms
Review aggregators do not necessarily publish the same reviews at the same time, and each service has its own rules for what it counts. A review may appear on a critic’s outlet before it is included in a particular aggregator. Scores can also change as more eligible reviews or user ratings arrive.
For that reason, the fairest update is specific: Metacritic’s Season 2 page currently has no critic reviews and no Metascore; it does not yet show user reviews or a user score. Rotten Tomatoes, meanwhile, has already listed three critic reviews at the time of checking. Readers should revisit the official pages for the latest counts.
What fans are saying while scores catch up
Fans are already discussing the season in the show’s Reddit community. The season-wide thread includes comments praising the stronger emotional moments, calling for another season, and debating whether the shorter eight-episode run feels focused or too brief. These comments are useful as examples of audience conversation, but they are not a representative survey and should not be mistaken for a Metacritic user score.
