HELSTROM: Marvel Television's Final Series Will Reportedly Debut On Hulu This October

Helstrom is the last leftover from Jeph Loeb's time in charge of Marvel Television, and it's now said that the series - which is seemingly being distanced from the comics - will debut on Hulu this October.

Marvel Studios pulled the plug on a number of Marvel Television projects when Kevin Feige was put in charge of, well, everything. However, Helstrom was already deep in production, so that's still on the way to Hulu, and Deadline is reporting that the streaming service will release the series this October. 

This is going to be part of the "Huluween" lineup, and the show will be joined by the likes of Books of Blood, Bad Hair, and Monsterland

With Marvel Studios focusing on the TV shows coming to Disney+ (like The Falcon and The Winter Soldier and WandaVision), it's doubtful that Helstrom will last beyond a single season. It also doesn't appear to have much in common with the comic books it's based on, so regardless of how the series is received, Marvel Studios won't have to worry about it hurting the MCU. 

Called Daimon Hellstrom in the comic books (even the spelling is different on Hulu), this take on the character will see him team up with sister Ana as they "track down the terrorizing worst of humanity." Their father isn't Satan here either, as they'll be the kids of "a mysterious and powerful serial killer."

Helstrom stars Tom Austen Daimon Helstrom, Sydney Lemmon as Ana Helstrom, Elizabeth Marvel as Victoria Helstrom, Ariana Guerra as Gabriella Rossetti, Robert Wisdom as Caretaker, June Carryl as Louise Hastings, and Alain Uy as Chris Yen. We'll likely see more from the show soon.

I often wonder how agents get their clients to sign contracts for shows that are going to end up cancelled after one season.

I know I'd be pissed if agent was talking to me about Marvel TV and not Marvel STUDIOS projects. Well, best of luck to them. It's the last of a mostly dead breed.

@VicSage - "Work is work" is I presume the answer. And nothing about doing this precludes a later stint at Marvel Studios (or other studios), so it's an an opportunity to possibly get noticed by Sarah Finn-senpai.

@Spock0Clock - The confidence one must have to think their work here will secure them the "real" job must be huge. I couldn't even begin to imagine. I hope they give all good talents a fair shot, I really do. But I know I'd be pissed at my agent. But you're right, work is work in LA. Got to get where you can. Especially right now.

This show looks like a mediocre Freemform YA adaptation anyway, so kudos on getting just one season, specially if they're gonna make changes from the source material to make it as basic as it currently is.

@Chewtoy - Yes all of them, with the expection of MODOK and Hit-Monkey were killed

According to Kevin Smith, the two surviving shows were already to deep into production that it was late for Feige to pull the plug

Good this is the one Marvel TV show I'm really anticipating the last one from the Marvel Television studios, I'm just glad and surprised the wuss master Kevin "No risk" Feige didn't outright cancel this show cause it's not his vision and watered comedic and child friendly.

And everyone who keeps telling me that not all Marvel films are the same and are not comedies, I can give many examples but I give this scene with Skurge from Thor Ragnorok. This scene was cringe inducing and embarrassing, I'm just thankful Kevin Feige had nothing to do with the Netflix or Marvel shows or they'd be watered down and we'd get more scenes like this.
