The gateways to Hell open anew as Hellraiser enters one of its biggest franchise expansions yet, with the announcement of five new releases arriving ahead of the upcoming series. With the gates to Hell reopening, this marks an epic new era for fans of one of horror’s most iconic franchises.

Boom! Studios is officially launching a new era of ecstasy and agony for Hellraiser, with the announcement of the upcoming September debut of Hellraiser: Resurrections, a series of five one-shots that will set the stage for the publisher’s upcoming Hellraiser series relaunch.

Hellraiser: Resurrections is set to explore new Cenobites and horrifying realms, officially kicking off on September 2, 2026, with writer Mike Costa and artist Paco Camallonga’s Hellraiser: Resurrections – New Wounds #1.

New Wounds will then be followed by writer Zac Thompson and artist Gavin Mitchell’s Hellraiser: Resurrections – The Onanistic Ritual #1 on September 9; writer Tini Howard and artist Jenna Cha’s Hellraiser: Resurrections – The Deep Gospel #1 on September 16; writer Nero Villagallos O’Reilly and artist Francesca Ciregia’s Hellraiser: Resurrections – Hell’s Council #1 on September 23; and finally, writer Sarah Gailey and artist Alessio Avallone’s Hellraiser: Resurrections – The Return of the Priest #1.

Hellraiser’s New Era and Releases, Explained

Each one-shot in Hellraiser: Resurrections will be brought to life by a new generation of Hellraiser creators, with each issue running 32 pages and available for $4.99 at local comic shops and digitally upon release. These one-shots kick off BOOM! Studios’ ambitious new publishing initiative, which will introduce a new Hellraiser ongoing series along with additional miniseries through 2027. Given that 2027 is still a ways out, details on the ongoing and miniseries remain limited for now.

However, BOOM! Studios’ early September solicitations have already given readers a clearer idea of what to expect from the upcoming Hellraiser: Resurrections one-shots. New Wounds, for example, follows an investigation into the mysterious Puzzle Box that quickly goes sideways, with the gateways to Hell opening anew. It ultimately serves as an early glimpse of what’s to come in the new Hellraiser series.

With this in mind, readers planning to follow BOOM! Studios’ upcoming Hellraiser ongoing series, set to launch in winter 2026 and continue through 2027, should strongly consider reading Resurrections as setup material. The context, tone, and groundwork it establishes will likely make the ongoing series a far more enjoyable read.

It is also important to clarify that while Resurrections teases new Cenobites and horrifying realms, fans will still see the return of familiar characters, including Pinhead himself. The Return of the Priest, the final entry in the one-shot series, is especially notable as it promises to “uncover the hellbound history of Pinhead.” As such, fans looking to further explore Hellraiser lore should consider this a must-read addition to the lineup.

Hellraiser: Resurrections from BOOM! Studios will release throughout September!
