A brief teaser for the live-action Halo series coming to the Paramount+ streaming service aired last December during the Game Awards, but it didn't showcase much footage. Now, we have word that a full trailer will air this Sunday during halftime of the AFC Championship Game.
To accompany the announcement, the streamer has debuted a new promo poster featuring Pablo Schreiber's Master Chief.
The big-budget adaptation is expected to stick pretty close to the premise of the original game, as an "epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant" plays out. The show is expected to "weave deeply drawn personal stories with action, adventure and a richly imagined vision of the future."
Halo will also star Natascha McElhone as Dr. Catherine Halsey, Yerin Ha as Kwan Ha, Charlie Murphy as Makee, Shabana Azmi as Admiral Margaret Parangosky, Bokeem Woodbine as Soren-066, Olive Gray as Miranda Keyes, Kate Kennedy as Kai-125, Natasha Culzac as Riz-028, Bentley Kalu as Vannak-134, Danny Sapani as Captain Jacob Keyes, and Jen Taylor as the voice of Cortana.
No premiere date has been announced, but we should find out when the show is set to air this Sunday when the trailer is released.
