OVA series 5-8 for Hellsing Ultimate is expected to be released in English on November 13, 2012.  There were some delays on 8 in Japan which likely effected Funimation's plans for release in North America.

"don't they make enough money" Not as much as you think.  Pirated copies of official releases often get mixed into fan subbing host sites cutting very deeply into profits.  Dubs are very expensive to produce as they require paying people to translate, re-script, voice act, and in some cases redraw.  Also many fans of anime prefer subbing over dubbing, so unless there is a major incentive to dub a particular work such as it being picked up for tv airing or there is a strong fan base outside of anime culture, it seriously isn't worth it for companies to dub most works.

As for Bakumanm dubbing doesn't happen overnight.  Bakuman is licenced by Media Blasters.   Season 2 only finished airing in Japan in March.  Dubbing isn't a quick process sometimes English dubs are not released until years after the original runs depending on the work and the licencer.  Media Blasters has not released season 2 yet that doesn't mean they won't.  Give them time.

looks not likely as we communicate. Funimation dubbed the first 5 seasons and a handful of video clips, inspite of if it extremely is been years pondering the very incontrovertible truth that they have got finished any. The series replaced genuine right into somewhat time-honored jointly because it replaced into on caricature community, yet that replaced genuine right into a protracted time contained in the previous. there remains a reliable fanbase and each and each and every and each and each and every episode (of better than 630) is fan-subbed now. inspite of the indisputable fact that the dub looks useless for now. @M

Actually, its neither of those. The reason some popular dubbing companies dont continue dubbing a series is because they lose the rights to them. An example would be "D. Gray Man" Funimation only dubbed 51 episodes out out 103 because they lost the rights to dub the anime. I hope this answers your question ^__^
