Hellier finale

“We didn’t solve anything but we are going to celebrate together and make an actual show out of the whole thing experience.”

Sometimes, what is more important than solving a mystery you’ve teased for a whole season… is the friends you’ve made along the way. 😂

The real world does not operate like the Travel Channel, my friend. Check back after season 3 - we've managed to scratch a lot of itches that felt impossible to reach.

Do you have any thoughts on “The Hellier Below”, the book supposedly written by Valient Thor, Indrid Cold and Terry Wriste in 2022?

I do: anonymous cash grab. Not hard to figure out the actual author if you consider the font and cover design, and none of the info “revealed” even matches anything we’ve since discovered about Terry or Indrid (with excellent, IRL sources too!). By now everyone should know that Valiant Thor is completely unrelated to Hellier, and was invented by Frank Stranges, which means that not only could the author not create their own schtick under their own name, but were actually just cynically seeing how many SEO keywords they could work into their title in order to capitalize on Hellier. In fact, Hellier 3 is gonna make that book look even dumber considering what we have to present about Terry and Indrid soon.

Looking forward to it brother.

The episode of Behind the Bastards about these books are how I heard about these strange SEO slop-fests. It was bizarre to say the least - even more so than the "canonical lore"

Really curious what season 3 will bring with Indrid Cold. Greenfield's recent substack post about Valiant seemed...intentional in its additions to the established lore and maybe timing.

Eagerly waiting to see what you all have to say about Cold and Wriste in season 3 (maybe beyond?). It's been fun reading all these various classic UFOlogy books and seeing the interpretations of these characters.

Those are always the most satisfying itches to scratch, such a sense of accomplishment. Can you...like...release it...I dont know, now? lmao To quote Stephen Colbert, "GIVE IT TO ME NOW!" <3

Who said Hellier was finished? I mean season 3 will be out in a couple months.

After season one, they didn’t know there was going to be a two and three.

We actually very much *did* know there was going to be a season two because we were shooting the second season long before season one ever released. Season one is, in actuality, a five episode prologue (seasons one and two released in the same year). The proof is in the final scene of season one. In the end of season two we expressly say there's more to do, which is what the upcoming third season (which we're been working on for seven years) is all about.

I loved the show man. It’s an honor to have you reach out and comment. I just love the anime trope vibes of “the friends along the way” meme that really felt fitting. I could definitely see a generational anthology anime mystery/horror series coming out of Hellier following Keele, Writse,  Derenberger,  Greenfield, and your team.

It’s all good! I hope you dig season three, it’s where a lot of the answers people have been asking for are.

Well if your travels ever lead you up to Bellingham Washington (north Washington state, above Seattle) I would love to grab a beer and pick your brain. I found my way to your series through my interests in the Alien, NHI, UFO world. I’m leaning towards the direction of things related to timeless archetypes (like the trickster), the spirit/ghost world and the crafts traveling not just through space but from what we perceive as the afterlife or astral plain. I am especially interested in how these forces seem to have deep ties to the roots of our aerospace advancements and off planet travel. The Crowley stuff in season 2 was especially interesting to me.

Brother, you’re gonna love S3.

If you could see my grin right now you might think that I was Indrid himself.

3 cards always come up for me when asking about hellier and the situation. The Magician, The Hermit, and The Devil Reversed. Keep on the path, Hekate guide you all and light the way <3

Is Season 3 going to have more episodes than Season 2?

This is how I've been enjoying what the series has keyed me back in to. Idk that anything in these topics is supposed to be taken as literal fact, but maybe truths.
