2022 has already revived the Predator in Hulu’s Prey and now the streaming platform is tackling Hellraiser to bring Pinhead into modern-day horror. We confirm the release time of the Hulu adaptation and introduce you to the cast involved.
Hellraiser first appeared in a live-action capacity back in 1987 when the original author Clive Barker helmed the movie adaptation. Hulu’s shot will be the eleventh installment in the franchise and plans for this movie have been in production since 2007.
Directed by David Bruckner and written by Ben Collins, David S. Goyer, and Luke Piotrowski, Hulu’s Hellraiser is a new adaptation of the 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker and stars Odessa A’zion as Riley and Jamie Clayton as the sinister protagonist Pinhead or the Hell Preist.
