Our Review
Helstrom (2020) is a horror and drama series from Hulu. It premiered on October 16, 2020. Viewers rate it 6.8 out of 10. It is currently cancelled. It runs 1 season.
What Helstrom Is About
Daimon and Ana Helstrom are the son and daughter of a mysterious and powerful serial killer in Helstrom. The siblings have a complicated dynamic as they track down the worst of humanity—each with their attitude and skills.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, spread across 1 season and it leans into its horror/drama roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Production values hold steady, and the series keeps a consistent tone rather than chasing trends.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of horror, drama and supernatural have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Hulu’s other originals, a 6.8/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2020 and carried by Hulu with the series still cancelled, it lands hardest with horror and drama viewers.
How Helstrom Compares
If Helstrom lands for you, the next stops are Attack on Titan, Stranger Things and Jekyll, which share its horror/drama lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
Where to Stream
Helstrom comes from Hulu. Check your preferred platform for current availability, since regional rights move around.

On the whole Helstrom is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, a tone that stays true to its horror/drama roots, It has held up since 2020 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Helstrom is a safe bet for anyone already inside the horror and drama lane, the audience score holds around 6.8/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 6.8/10. Watch it if you want horror/drama you can settle into.
