Paramount+ unveiled Monday the first glimpse at the live-action adaptation of the iconic game franchise "Halo" at Microsoft’s 20th anniversary Xbox event.
The brief video featured the first shots of Pablo Schreiber as the helmeted Spartan supersoldier Master Chief and his scarred back, as well as the character donning his familiar gear from behind, with a female voice saying “Hello, Master Chief”.

The series also stars Natascha McElhone, Jen Taylor, Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Natasha Culzac, Olive Gray, Yerin Ha, Bentley Kalu, Kate Kennedy, Ryan McParland, Charlie Murphy, and Danny Sapani.
It is produced by Showtime, 343 Industries, and Amblin Entertainment.
In 2018, Showtime gave it a series order with Kyle Killen as showrunner and Rupert Wyatt attached to direct several episodes.
Wyatt departed the series in late 2018 due to schedule conflicts, and Otto Bathurst took over as director.
In March 2019, Steven Kane came aboard as co-showrunner, overseeing physical production in Budapest while Killen supervised writing and production in the US.
Killen quietly departed late in 2019, while Kane parted ways after wrapping production.
In February 2021, ViacomCBS moved "Halo" from Showtime to Paramount+ahead of the streamer’s rebranding and expansion of the former CBS All Access.
"Halo" is slated to premiere in 2022.
