We’re edging scarily closer to Halloween, and “Huluween” is in full swing – that’s Hulu’s annual celebration of all things spooky. To mark the occasion, the OTT service has produced some teeth-chattering new series, and Helstrom is the latest unholy offering for horror fans. Keep reading as we detail how to watch Helstrom online and stream this 10-part series now.
This devilish series will be available on Hulu (opens in new tab) from October 16, with all 10-episodes available to stream instantly. If you’re not already a member, you can subscribe to Hulu for a month-long free trial (opens in new tab). After this time, you’ll pay $5.99 per month (or $11.99 to go ad-free).
It’s clear to see why Disney-owned Marvel Studios kept its branding off this occult horror series. Based on Marvel comic Son of Satan, Helstrom is darker than an Oreo-gobbling black hole. The show focuses on estranged siblings Daimon and Ana, whose mother went mad after discovering their father was a serial-killer (possibly even the cloven-hoofed one himself). And while dealing with this significant family trauma, they also have to confront a demonic force that threatens to destroy all humankind.
Helstrom is in good hands when it comes to delivering mysterious, full-throttle drama. It’s created by Paul Zbyszewski, a writer on both Lost and Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, and Emmy nominated director Diana Reid helmed the inaugural episode, 'Mother's Little Helper'. Meanwhile, Grantchester’s Tom Austen stars as the brooding Daimon, an ethics professor come exorcist, and Sydney Lemmon is Ana, an auctioneer by day exacting murderous vengeance by night.
Given that Marvel Television was disbanded and their ‘Adventure into Fear’ franchise canned, Helstrom probably won’t get a second season. But, if you feel frights have been sorely lacking from your superhero flicks, read on while we detail how to watch Helstrom online, and enjoy those Halloween vibes.

How to watch Helstrom online for FREE in the US
(opens in new tab)Will Helstrom be shown in the UK, Canada, Australia or anywhere else?
Viewers outside of the USA will find themselves in a Helstrom-related purgatory, with none of the typical providers currently offering the new show internationally.
In Canada, it’s entirely possible that it could join Crave (opens in new tab)’s on-demand library. Another Hulu exclusive, Monsterland, has been slated for an October 31 release on the service, a month after its initial US debut. On this evidence, Crave might be Helstrom’s new home in the near future too.
Those lamenting Helstrom’s absence in the UK should keep their evil eye on the StarzPlay channel, which is available to purchase via Amazon Prime Video (opens in new tab) for an additional £4.99 a month. Other Hulu content such as The Great, The Act, and Castle Rock has arrived here in the past, and it’s not inconceivable that Helstrom will join them at a later date.
But there aren't any plans for it to join Netflix’s giant VoD library, and it’s a little too adult to fit snuggly beside the PG-13 content of Disney Plus.
