One of the show's actors has an answer On the other hand, a few days before the release, showrunner Paul Zbyszewski said that the show was "siloed off [from the Marvel Cinematic Universe]. Part of it is [because] it’s a darker-themed show than the other Marvel shows on other platforms." With Entertainment Weekly noting that "the absence of the Marvel logo is on purpose, as it helps to differentiate itself from every other show in the [Marvel Cinematic] universe carries".Helstrom boss, stars preview the thrills and chills in Marvel's new drama In a separate interview, Zbyszewski answered to the question if the show was part of the MCU saying: "We're not tied to the MCU. We are our own separate thing. There are Easter eggs [to the MCU] in the show for sure, but they’re more towards that Helstrom universe, and that Ghost Rider universe."Helstrom is Officially Confirmed but not with the MCU
When the show released, there were plenty of easter-eggs to MCU-exclusive items seen in other MCU productions such as O'Harren's Scotch Whisky, San Francisco Tribune, New Orleans Gazette, and The Dallas Record. The easter-eggs seen in the Marvel Television series were designed specifically so the shows could tie-in with each other without having explicit crossovers.Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. | Seven Seasons of Amazing Gear & Gadgets + Live Auction Preview In spite of this, in a later interview, Paul Zbyszewski said that the show "was not part of the MCU. We are our own thing. There was a freeing sort of feeling about it because canon can be heavy. It is a weight on your shoulders. And to have just this little pocket of the universe, because of what it is […] it needed to be its own thing."Why Helstrom's showrunner is happy it's not part of the MCU - Exclusive This sentiment was later echoed by Sydney Lemmon who said that the show was not "actually" part of the MCU saying the show needed to take a life on its own, which was supported by Tom Austen.Tom Austen and Sydney Lemmon on Marvel, the future of Helstrom, and more - Exclusive interview
Therefore, as there are contradictory statements on the canon of the series, per our canon policy, Helstrom is considered to hold a dubious canon status in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
