Hulu has shared the synopses for the first five episodes of Helstrom, all of which give viewers a better idea of what to expect from the Marvel series. While it is loosely based on Daimon Hellstrom's comic book adventures, enough changes have been made to ensure people won't think it's part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige is now in charge of the small screen stories fans see, and Helstrom is something of a leftover from Jeph Loeb's tenure as the head of Marvel Television.
Here are the episode titles and synopses:
Episode 1 - Mother's Little Helpers: Daimon Helstrom investigates a possessed young boy in Oregon. Meanwhile in San Francisco, Ana Helstrom stages an auction to expose a criminal. Disturbing events at St. Teresa's cause concern as the siblings estranged Mother remains hospitalized. Written By: Paul Zbyszewski. Directed By: Daina Reed
Episode 2 - Viaticum: A horrific accident leads Daimon and Gabriella fighting to save a man’s soul, while a darker force attempts to stop them. Meanwhile, Yen's relationship with his work takes a dark turn towards obsession, and a discovery leads Ana back to St. Teresa's. Written By: Blair Butler. Directed By: Anders Engstrom
Episode 3 - The One Who Got Away: Daimon and Ana learn more about the destruction their father left in his wake. With Gabriella, they pay a visit to a potential victim and find themselves in deeper than they ever could have imagined. Hastings shocks Caretaker with a stunning revelation.

Episode 4 - Containment: A demonic enemy brings together an unusual group. Daimon and Ana travel to San Francisco in search of Yen and an artifact that may help defeat the enemy.

Written By: Matt Morgan & Ian Sobel. Directed By: Jovanka Vuckovic
There will be a virtual panel for Helstrom at New York Comic Con, so another trailer there seems likely.
Helstrom stars Tom Austen as Daimon Helstrom, Sydney Lemmon as Ana Helstrom, Elizabeth Marvel as Victoria Helstrom, Ariana Guerra as Gabriella Rossetti, Robert Wisdom as Caretaker, June Carryl as Louise Hastings, and Alain Uy as Chris Yen. The series arrives on Hulu on Friday, October 16.
