A teaser for the Halo TV series coming to Paramount+ leaked online last month, and we now have another (officially released) sneak peek. The show certainly has the look and feel of a big budget blockbuster, which is appropriate given the sheer scale of the popular Xbox franchise.
The full trailer for the series will premiere during The Game Awards on Thursday, so we'll no doubt get a much better idea of what to expect when that arrives.
Halo takes 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 series will weave deeply drawn personal stories with action, adventure, and a richly imagined vision of the future.
Pablo Schreiber (Orange Is the New Black) will be playing Master Chief, the iconic Spartan super soldier and humanity’s last hope against the alien Covenant. Joining him in the impressive ensemble cast are Natasha McElhone (Californication) as both Dr. Catherine Halsey and Cortana, Bokeem Woodbine (Overlord) as Soren-066, Shabana Azmi (Fire) as Admiral Margaret Parangosky, Bentley Kalu (Avengers: Age of Ultron) as Spartan Vannak-134, Natasha Culzac (The Witcher) as Spartan Riz-028, and Kate Kennedy (Catastrophe) as Spartan Kai-125.
Otto Bathurst (Robin Hood) will be directing and executive producing Paramount+'s adaptation of the Halo series, while Jonathan Liebesman, Roel Reiné, and Jessica Lowrey also direct.
