Paramount+ Shares First Teaser Trailer For XBOX's Upcoming HALO Live Action Series!

First originally planned for Showtime, today we have learned that Paramount+ will be streaming the new Halo series exclusively from XBOX in 2022.

Today, for XBOX’s 20th anniversary celebration, Paramount+ has released the first footage for the series!

“Halo will take place in the universe that first came to be in 2001, dramatizing an epic 26th century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant. The show will weave deeply drawn personal stories with action, adventure and a richly imagined vision of the future.”

Pablo Schreiber (“American Gods”) has been set to star as Master Chief in the series, with Danny Sapani (“Penny Dreadful”), Olive Gray (“Half Moon Investigations”) and Charlie Murphy (“Peaky Blinders”) also set as series regulars. Natascha McElhone (“Californication”) and Emmy nominee Bokeem Woodbine (“Fargo”) recently landed lead roles alongside Schreiber, and the cast also includes Shabana Azmi (Fire), Bentley Kalu (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Natasha Culzac (“The Witcher”), Kate Kennedy (“Catastrophe”) and Yerin Ha (Reef Break).

“It delivers the visceral excitement of playing the game, along with a much deeper emotional experience around the Spartans, human beings who got their humanity chemically and genetically altered,” David Nevins, Chief Creative Officer, CBS & Chairman and CEO, Showtime Networks, said in a recent statement shared by Deadline.

Otto Bathurst is on board to direct. Kyle Killen and Steven Kane are showrunners.
