Paramount+ Shares First Look at Live Action “Halo” Series During Xbox Celebration! [Video]
Hello, Master Chief.
Originally announced for Showtime, the TV series based on the “Halo” video games will now be exclusively found on Paramount+, and today we’ve learned that it’s coming in 2022.
Additionally, Paramount+ has shared a first-look teaser for Xbox’s 20th anniversary celebration today. Master Chief suits up in this very first glimpse, and you can watch it below!
“Halo will take 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 show will weave deeply drawn personal stories with action, adventure and a richly imagined vision of the future.”
Pablo Schreiber (“American Gods”) has been set to star as Master Chief in the series, with Danny Sapani (“Penny Dreadful”), Olive Gray (“Half Moon Investigations”) and Charlie Murphy (“Peaky Blinders”) also set as series regulars. Natascha McElhone (“Californication”) and Emmy nominee Bokeem Woodbine (“Fargo”) recently landed lead roles alongside Schreiber, and the cast also includes Shabana Azmi (Fire), Bentley Kalu (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Natasha Culzac (“The Witcher”), Kate Kennedy (“Catastrophe”) and Yerin Ha (Reef Break).
The project, produced by 343 Industries and Amblin Television, is said to be incredibly ambitious, promising to “enthrall fans while also drawing the uninitiated into a world of complex characters that populate this unique universe.”
“It delivers the visceral excitement of playing the game, along with a much deeper emotional experience around the Spartans, human beings who got their humanity chemically and genetically altered,” David Nevins, Chief Creative Officer, CBS & Chairman and CEO, Showtime Networks, said in a recent statement shared by Deadline.
Otto Bathurst is on board to direct. Kyle Killen and Steven Kane are showrunners.
The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the world of animation with brand new Netflix series “Ghostbusters: Night Shift,” and the official logo has been revealed this weekend.
Expect “Ghostbusters: Night Shift” to clock in on Netflix in 2027!
Netflix previews, “Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.
“The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.”
The upcoming animated series from Netflix will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
“This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated,” Netflix reminds in their press release today. “The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.”
