Production
Development
On May 1, 2019, Hulu ordered Marvel's Helstrom to series, based on the Marvel Comics characters Daimon and Satana Hellstrom—their names were given as Daimon and Ana Helstrom for the series. Paul Zbyszewski was set as showrunner and executive producer alongside Marvel Television head Jeph Loeb; Zbyszewski previously served as an executive producer on Marvel's ABC series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.Marvel Television and ABC Signature Studios were set to co-produce Helstrom. Zbyszewski said the series would be adding "scares" to the Marvel formula of "heart, humor, and action", and that he would use the Helstroms' story to "dissect some of our deepest fears", with Loeb saying the series is moving into a new, "chilling" corner of the Marvel Universe. The first season consists of 10 episodes.
