What feels like something that would be impossible to translate into cinema is finally here: Halo. The upcoming television series based on the acclaimed video game is making its way to Paramount+ on March 24th, and they’ve released an official trailer.
Last November, a teaser was released, but this is our first foray into seeing a story, characters, and tons of incredible special effects too. The project has been in development for years, with Peter Jackson once attached to produce–way back in 2005–and the series once set for release on Showtime.
While Showtime gave it a series order in 2018, ViacomCBS moved Halo from Showtime to Paramount+ in February 2021.
Watch the new trailer below.
The series stars Pablo Schreiber (“American Gods”) as the Master Chief, Spartan-117; Natascha McElhone (“Californication”) as Dr. Halsey, the brilliant, conflicted and inscrutable creator of the Spartan super soldiers; and Jen Taylor (“Halo” game series, RWBY) as Cortana, the most advanced AI in human history, and potentially the key to the survival of the human race. Additional stars include Bokeem Woodbine (“Fargo”), Shabana Azmi (“Fire”), Natasha Culzac (“The Witcher”), Olive Gray (“Half Moon Investigations”), Yerin Ha (“Reef Break”), Bentley Kalu (“Avengers: Age of Ultron”), Kate Kennedy (“Catastrophe”), Charlie Murphy (“Peaky Blinders”) and Danny Sapani (“Penny Dreadful”).
