Halo TV Show- Release Date, Trailer, and Cast
he Halo TV show is on track to break many records as hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent on producing it
Finally, after nearly a decade after the announcement of a Halo TV show in the working: we have a set release date and some first looks. This show is expected to shatter expectations because it’s being handled by none other than Paramount Pictures. In case you’re (somehow) unaware of Paramount, they are one of the biggest movie distributors- having released the likes of Titanic, Indiana Jones, and Mission: Impossible. Not only is Paramount distributing the show, but it will also be available to watch exclusively on Paramount+.
Official Trailer of the Halo TV show
We got to see some spicy action scenes and the overall mood that the show will achieve. Fans are impressed with the accuracy of the Chief’s character design; however, they are disappointed with the design of some of the other characters (such as Cortana). <
Release Date and Production
Although the show was planned to release sometime in 2021, it was pushed forward due to Covid-19. Recently, they announced that the show will premiere on the 24th of March.
It has also been announced that Speilberg’s Amblin Entertainment has a role in the production of Halo’s TV show. However, it is still unknown if the renowned director is directly involved or not. Mainly, it’s being written by Kyle Killen. The studios recognize that Killen isn’t the most experienced in this genre but they aim to “ensure that [they] get underneath the formidable armor of the Spartans”.
The show was originally meant to be directed by Rupert Wyatt and now is being directed and executively produced by Otto Bathurst. Bathurst helped direct works such as Robin Hood and Peaky Blinders.
Cast
The role of Master Chief is taken by Pablo Schreiber. Dr. Catherine Halsey is played by Natascha McElhone. Excitingly, the original voice for Cortana- Jen Taylor- is being used. One completely new character for this show is Quan Ah, played by Yerin Ha. Quan Ah will join the story as the daughter of a rebel leader who is stepping up to take the lead in freeing her planet.
Concluding Thoughts about the Halo TV show
With Kyle Killen on board, we can expect to see a more in-depth take on the Spartans to tug at viewers’ heartstrings. Its to be expected since it is a TV Show and not a re-enactment of the game’s story. However excited fans may be, Paramount is not rushing the production as they want to make this the best show they can. Hopefully, they do not disappoint.
