Halo Series Coming to Paramount+ Streaming Service in 2022

The previously announced TV series based on the Halo games will be released on Paramount+ next year. This is the streaming service that will be released in a number of countries next month and was previously known as CBS All Access.

Showtime produces the series in the Hungarian capital Budapest, in collaboration with Amblin Television and 343 Industries. The latter is the developer who has been behind the games since 2011. The series was announced back in 2013 and will be released in about a year, a year later than previously planned. According to Deadline, 55 to 60 percent of the series’ first season had already been filmed, but then the spread of the coronavirus threw a spanner in the works in March last year, after which work was temporarily halted.

In 2018, the American pay channel Showtime ordered the first season of ten episodes, but the series will be transferred from Showtime to the upcoming streaming service Paramount+. Another change is that there will not be ten episodes, but nine. It will be a science fiction series set in the same universe as the Halo games, where humanity fights against aliens known as the Covenant in the 26th century.

Paramount+ will be available on March 4 in the US, Canada and Latin America, followed by the Nordic countries on March 25. The service should also be released in Australia later this year. It is unknown when and whether that will be the case in the rest of Europe.
