10 Upcoming New Comic Book TV Shows To Be Excited About

10. Helstrom

Hulu's relationship with Marvel has evolved in recent years due to the death of the Marvel Television subsidiary. But even though Cloak and Dagger was cancelled and Runaways came to an end, that partnership will live on through Helstrom.

Originally envisioned as one of multiple shows in the streaming service's Adventure Into Fear block of programming, Helstrom managed to survive while the rest of the ideas (including a planned Ghost Rider series) did not. And after months of anticipation, it's almost upon us.

The story revolves around the characters of Daimon and Ana Helstrom - who are based on Marvel Comics' Daimon and Santana Hellstrom - as they take it upon themselves to hunt deadly entities that seek to wreak havoc. However, being the children of an infamous serial killer, they're forced to confront their past head-on in order to protect the world from the supernatural evil closing in.

Though it is believed to be a standalone tale within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the trailer portrayed it as its own monster as it seems to boast a grim and haunting tone that we haven't seen in any MCU project. That could very well make it the most intriguing entry in the franchise yet.
