10 Horror TV Shows That Got Cancelled After Just One Season

10. Helstrom

Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe would eventually take over television screens through Disney+ as much as the cinemas it still dominates, ABC was responsible for producing a variety of shows based on multiple Marvel characters and superhero teams, including Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Runaways, and Cloak & Dagger. Easily their most short-lived however, was the horror series, Helstrom.

Based on the Marvel comic book characters Damian and Satana Helstrom, the show tells the story of two siblings who hunt down and stop the most despicable and vile humans from causing harm to the innocent. Damian and Satana both also possess their own unique powers that they may or may not have inherited from their father, who was only known as a serial killer with tremendous abilities of his own.

Helstrom's cancellation may not be the biggest shock for fans of the MCU, as Marvel Studios were moving into producing television shows that would tie directly to their cinematic universe, which caused Helstrom and several other series and planned Marvel projects to be scrapped altogether. Hopefully, the dark and brooding Helstrom siblings will return to screens at some point now that Doctor Strange's multi-dimensional travel has already opened up the possibility for returning familiar faces.
