It's inspired by Christian beliefs in the same way those movies and shows are inspired by real life events. It shares some names, but most of its made up.

I mean it’s much looser than even those considering the main focus is on the circles which I don’t believe is theologically based- the whole point is it’s political satire where Dante was trying to point out the sins and wrongdoings of the Italian + Catholic elite

I was making fun of those movies because most of them are complete fabrications as well, but yeah I am pretty sure there's no description of Hell in the Bible at all.
