As Marvel Studios prepares to launch its first television shows on the Disney Plus streaming service, Helstrom has been canceled.
Helstrom, which oddly enough was not marketed as a Marvel TV show, despite being based on Marvel comic book characters Daimon, Anne and Victoria Helstrom, debuted in October with the first season spanning ten episodes.
The cancellation is far from surprising, however, as Variety reports that it was the last show in the now defunct Marvel Television division, which closed just over a year ago.

Hulu issued a series order for both Helstrom and Marvel’s Ghost Rider in May 2019, but the latter program was completely disbanded in September 2019.
The show was followed by Daimon (Tom Austen) and Anne Helstrom (Sydney Lemmon), the children of a prolific serial killer.
They both use their special abilities to look for the worst that humanity can offer, in their own unique way.

Zbyszewski was allowed to continue and oversee Helstrom’s post-production, although his global agreement was annulled.
