Hellscape (series)
Hellscape was an audio and webcast series, part of BBV Productions's Audio Adventures in Time & Space. It was launched as a subseries of Faction Paradox on 1 January 2022. The stories featured Lucifer and his timeship Babylon.
Following BBV's loss of the Faction Paradox license,[1] a leaflet inside the physical DVD release of P.R.O.B.E. Case Files - Volume 2 announced a continuation of Hellscape separate from Faction Paradox among BBV's audio ranges. That story, Lucifer's Sleep, was ultimately released in May 2022 with Faction Paradox branding, and author Trevor Spencer clarified online that Hellscape "series 1" would feature the Faction Paradox logo.[2]
August 28th 2023 marked the release of what was reported as "Part 1" of of Season 2 of Hellscape, under the title of The Lillium Saga, with all Faction Paradox branding removed.[3] Shortly thereafter, BBV released a short live-action minisode titled Vacation Time, presented as Episode 5 of an upcoming subseries titled Hellscape: Morningstar — likewise void of Faction Paradox branding, although it provided a visual of Lucifer walking into Babylon, making her continued purported nature as a humanoid timeship apparent.[4]

Notes
- Hellscape's main character, Lucifer, was modelled after the character of the same name from the 2016–2021 television show Lucifer. Hellscape's creator and sole author was a particular fan of the show.[5]
- Unwanted Guest and Lilith Fades feature the older version of Fitz Kreiner from Interference, explicitly using the name "Kreiner", without any indication that BBV Productions obtained the license to the name from Stephen Cole or BBC Books.
- Sam Myers of P.R.O.B.E. features, in their voiced debut, in Lilith Fades.
- Ba'al originally debuted in Maker's Wish: Ticket To Ride.
