The thirty-second season of the American television series Hellstorm's Files is set to premiere on StoogeWB on October 2, 2020.[1] The season is set to contain fourty-one episodes,[2] though fifty-nine scripts were ordered, and thus will contain the show's 700th episode.[3] On October 1, 2018, the season was ordered along with the previous season.[4]
== Production ==
The season was produced during the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted many other television productions. Hellstorm's Files renewed the series for an fourty-one, fourty-two, fourty-three and fourty-four season on October 1, 2018.[2] The fourty-one season is set to premiere on October 2, 2020.[3]
=== Filming ===
Filming for the season started on Friday, July 31, 2020.[6] Two days prior, Drescoll, Walters and McFarlane posted 3 photos  Instagram of the HF cast and crew doing a read-through of the premiere episode script on a Zoom chat and of the script itself with the title of the episode, "They're Quarantines". On July 31, Drescoll posted 6 more pictures to his twitter, one showing crew and cast members waiting in line to get COVID-19 tests and the other a photo of herself in the makeup chair with a gowned and masked.[11] 21st Century Fox developed a comprehensive return to work playbook, which is being followed by all of the company's series. It involves reducing shift hours and adding days to shoots to accommodate strict COVID-19 protocols.
=== Storylines ===
The fourty-first season is expected to cover the pandemic, which led to reports of an increase in domestic abuse in New York. "We're going to reflect Wisconsin in the pandemic" and "we gonna do this way", said showrunner/executive producer Dan O'Shannon.[9] The pandemic had a direct impact on the cast and crew, as the show lost a member of the costume department, Steve Wallwork, who died at age 54 of complications due to COVID-19.
