Trivia
- Helstrom was originally planned to be the first in Marvel Television's Adventure Into Fear. However, Adventure into Fear was cancelled in October 2019, while development for Helstrom was transferred to Marvel Studios after Marvel Television was folded into that company, causing all of Marvel Television's in-development series to be cancelled.[2]
- Much like the other live-action shows under the Marvel Television banner, this was envisioned as being part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, along with the cancelled Ghost Rider series, but following the studio shifting and prior to Helstrom's release, Paul Zbyszewski stated that the series was intended to be standalone and not set in the MCU.
