Are you ready to go to hell with Marvel and Hulu?
Marvel Television and Hulu have announced casting for Marvel’s Helstrom – the live-action series based on the popular Marvel comic book. The series will mark Marvel’s first foray into terror and is slated for debut in 2020.
In Marvel’s Helstrom, Daimon and Ana Helstrom are the son and daughter of a mysterious and powerful serial killer. The siblings have a complicated dynamic as they track down the terrorizing worst of humanity — each with their attitude and skills.
“We feel incredibly fortunate to have landed a cast loaded with this much talent,” said series Executive Producer and Showrunner Paul Zbyszewski. “From the beginning, we knew we’d need a group of actors who were multifaceted, who could play all the chords any great Marvel show promises to play, from dramatic thriller to comedy to action. It’s going to be really fun to watch them work.”

Sydney Lemmon (Succession, Fear the Walking Dead) will play Ana Helstrom. She runs a successful auction house and suffers no fools, but her true interest lies in hunting down those who hurt others.

Robert Wisdom
Robert Wisdom (Ballers, Watchmen) will play Caretaker. A guardian of knowledge of the occult.
