ABOUT THE HALO SERIES
Halo is an upcoming American military science fiction television series developed by Kyle Killen and Steven Kane for the streaming service Paramount+, based on the video game franchise of the same name. It is produced by Amblin Television, 343 Industries, Showtime Networks, One Big Picture, and Chapter Eleven, and follows a 26th-century war between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant, a theocratic-military alliance of several advanced alien races.
Pablo Schreiber and Jen Taylor star as Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 and Cortana, the latter reprising her role from the video game series and are joined by Natascha McElhone, Yerin Ha, Charlie Murphy, Shabana Azmi, Bokeem Woodbine, Kate Kennedy, Natasha Culzac, and Bentley Calu. Development for a Halo television series began in 2013. Killen was hired in June 2018, with the series officially announced with a 9-episode order for Paramount+. Filming began in Ontario, Canada in October 2019, although post-production for the first five episodes were affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming eventually resumed in Budapest, Hungary in February 2021.
Halo is set to premiere on March 24, 2022, on Paramount+. The series was renewed for a second season, ahead of its series premiere. A portion of the series showed at SXSW on March 14, 2022.
