While a Gabriel Luna-led Ghost Rider series may no longer be in the cards, it looks like Marvel Television and Hulu will indeed move forward with their Helstrom series, and the main cast has now been announced.

According to Deadline, Tom Austen (The Royals) and Sydney Lemmon (Fear of The Walking Dead) have been cast in the title roles as siblings Daimon and Ana Helstrom, respectively, while Elizabeth Marvel (Homeland) will play their institutionalized mother Victoria.

The trio will be joined by Robert Wisdom (Watchmen) as Caretaker, June Carryl (Mindhunter) as Dr. Louise Hastings, Ariana Guerra (Raising Dion) as Gabriella Rosetti and Alain Uy (The Passage) as Chris Yen. 

The ten-episode first season, which has Paul Zbyszewski attached as showrunner, is expected to debut on Hulu sometime in the 2020 television season.

Daimon Helstrom


 
Tom Austen (Grantchester, The Royals) as Daimon Helstrom – A professor of ethics who moonlights as an exorcist, Daimon has no illusions about saving a world he has no patience for; he just hopes he can help a few of the people closest to him. In his battle against a hidden world, Daimon is determined to root out demons as they arise, and will not stop until they’re vanquished.

Ana Helstrom


 
Sydney Lemmon (Fear of The Walking Dead) as Ana Helstrom – By day, Ana runs a successful auction house and suffers no fools, but her true interest lies in hunting down those who hurt others. Traumatized by her father as a child, Ana is driven to rid the world of those like him, even as she secretly worries her father will return.

Victoria Helstrom


 
Elizabeth Marvel (Homeland, The Meyerowitz Stories) as Victoria Helstrom – Plagued by demons both real and imagined, Victoria has been institutionalized for twenty years. While she struggles to be herself, she hopes to repair her relationship with her children.

About time we met the cast. I only recognize Elizabeth Marvel from Unforgivable.

Curious to see how they handle this property. 🤔

Only reason this show is still moving forward is that it’s using characters Feige will never use. That said this cast looks good and I’m looking forward to watching it, thought I wonder if Hulu will just go the full standalone route or still try to connect it to a greater Marvel universe

I loved Son of Satan when the books originally came out. Disappointed that it will get the low budget treatment on Hulu. Won't be tuning in.

After Ghost Rider was scrapped, a bit surprised this is moving forward tbh. Will watch though.

At this point if it's not Marvel Studios I'm really not interested. The bar is just too high now...

@Tonic24k - Sadly, I know what you mean.

When Marvel Studios was making two movies a year, then the prospect of 20 episodes of Netflix stuff and a smattering of Agents of SHIELD or whathaveyou was appealing. But now that we're looking at three to four movies, plus the Disney+ stuff, I'm feeling pretty satisfied. And I need some time for other franchises, after all.

Cameron Monaghan would be perfect to play Daimon.

Marvel TV's casting has generally been pretty damn good, so there's that. Helstrom and the supernatural stuff was never my bag, but I hope they have fun with it.

I’ll watch this probably but I really hope that all of Marvel TV is eventually brought under Marvel Studios. I think the fact that this is still moving forward means Ghost Rider definitely got tanked bc Feige wants to use him
