by
The TV series Halo has been in development for a very long time, but it should finally see the light of day in 2022. However, the series will no longer debut on Showtime, but will rather be exclusive to the Paramount + streaming service. The deadline announced the news of this latest change of direction for Halo: The Series, which will be officially announced today at the ViacomCBS Streaming Event.Halo: the series has been plagued by false starts and complications for years at this point. For a while, it seemed like the misery of the program was behind it when it started production in 2020. But as with so many Hollywood projects, production has been suspended due to the pandemic. Fortunately, Halo is back on track. Production resumes in Budapest, and ViacomCBS is now teasing a premiere window of Q1 2022.

Halo: The Series stars Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief, Danny Sapani and Olive Gray as Jacob and Miranda Keyes, Bokeem Woodbine as Soren-066, Shabana Azmi as Admiral Margaret Parangosky, and Bentley Kalu, Natasha Culzac and Kate Kennedy as three new Spartan characters . Natascha McElhone plays Dr. Catherine Halsey. Originally, McElhone was supposed to play dual roles, and also give the voice of Master Chief’s AI partner Cortana. But due to the scheduling problems caused by the pandemic, Cortana will now be sued by her actress, Jen Taylor, for video games.

The Showtime series is in production with game developers 343 Industries and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment. The director of Peaky Blinders and Black Mirror, Otto Bathurst, is the director of the first season of 9 episodes.

Every IGN Halo Review

It remains to be seen which of the different Halo games, novels and comics can inspire the plot of the TV series. There are rumors that the series may be breaking with tradition by showing Master Chief’s face, but this remains unconfirmed. IGN could see Schreiber’s Mjolnir armor behind closed doors, and can report that it looks fantastic.
