An unexpected boon, Helstrom is a standalone Marvel series from
Hulu. If you’re curious about how it was made, this featurette has the answers.
Building on the Helstrom comics, this is a horror adventure
following two siblings marked by darkness and trying to protect others from a
similar fate. In this new featurette, Hulu talks to the stars and creators
behind the show for insight into how it came to be. Oh, and there are demons.
What’s interesting
here is seeing the people behind the show exploring the way it plays with but
doesn’t quite adhere to superhero genre tropes, trying to blend those ideas
with something darker and more horror-focused. There’s clearly a lot of
attention being paid behind the scenes to creating atmospheric, emotive drama
that blends into the super stuff instead of feeling stilted by it. It’s good to see, whether it works out to your taste or not.
