While a Gabriel Luna-led
Ghost Rider series may no longer be in the cards, it looks like Marvel Television and Hulu will indeed move forward with their
Helstrom series, and the main cast has now been announced.
According to
Deadline, Tom Austen (
The Royals) and Sydney Lemmon (
Fear of The Walking Dead) have been cast in the title roles as siblings Daimon and Ana Helstrom, respectively, while Elizabeth Marvel (
Homeland) will play their institutionalized mother Victoria.
The trio will be joined by Robert Wisdom (
Watchmen) as Caretaker, June Carryl (
Mindhunter) as Dr. Louise Hastings, Ariana Guerra (
Raising Dion) as Gabriella Rosetti and Alain Uy (
The Passage) as Chris Yen.
The ten-episode first season, which has Paul Zbyszewski attached as showrunner, is expected to debut on Hulu sometime in the 2020 television season.
