This week, Hulu released the first images from upcoming Marvel seriesHelstrom. The series is one of the last Marvel TV shows greenlit and put into productionunder former Marvel TV headJeph Loeb’s watch.
Helstromfans might feel a bit underwhelmed by these first images. The vibe of the photos hint at a show which is a bit more serious and grounded while also a little less otherworldly than the comics on which it is based. Featured prominently in the photo set are Daimon (Tom Austen) and Ana Helstrom (Sydney Lemmon). As previously revealed when theHelstromcast was announced, Daimon is a cynical ethics professor who moonlights as an exorcist and Ana is an auctioneer by day and, by night, a woman driven to rid the world of evil. Oh, and a key plot detail here: Daimon and Ana are the children of a serial killer, but so far it is still unclear ifHelstromwill incorporate Daimon and Ana’scomic book originsto any degree.
Also featured in these newHelstromimages are supporting cast membersElizabeth Marvel, as Victoria, Daimon and Ana’s mother who is currently institutionalized;Robert Wisdomas a friend of Ana’s with deep knowledge of the occult;June Carryl, a psychologist and ally of the Helstrom family;Ariana Guerraas a woman sent by the Vatican to help Daimon and Ana uncover cases of possession; andAlain Uy, Ana’s friend and business partner.
Helstromwill premiere on Hulu in 2020. TheHelstromteam will also be speaking about their Marvel/Hulu show during Comic-Con@Home 2020 on Friday, July 24. You can get a look at the rest of the newHelstromimages below.
