Since the originalHaloreleased in 2001 , Microsoft has been trying for a long time to get Bungie and 343 Industries ’ sci - fi gun into live action beyond splendid commercials and webseries tie - inch . After several aborted attempts at making a movie , Halo is nowfinally a TV showfor Paramount+ ( with somespeed bumpsalong the mode ) that wind back the clock to the days when Master Chief ’s animation and the Human / Covenant War wasmuch more simple . ( If you ca n’t see the trailer , please clickthis link . )
One of the interesting things about Halo the show is that it ’s not actuallyin the same continuityas the 20 - year gaming dealership . alternatively , it ’s in own separate continuity dubbed “ the Silver Timeline , ” name so because Master Chief ( Pablo Schreiber ) will have a Modern squad of Spartans by his side rather than his fairly well establish Blue Team members Linda , Fred , and Kelly from the expanded media . That read , the extremity of Silver Team — which lie of Riz-028 ( Natasha Culzac ) , Vannak-134 ( Bentley Kalu ) , and Kai-125 ( Kate Kennedy)—are articulate to live in the chief continuity as well . The timeline were antecedently line by 343 to be passing similar , but some elements in the show will be different in elusive and not - subtle means that ’ll make themselves known over time , such as Chief and Cortana ( voiced by Jen Taylor , like in the games ) actively seeking out the titulary Halo ring on purpose rather than stumbling upon it .
There ’s a lot of interesting things to glean from the Halo dawdler , from a human charwoman allying herself with the Covenant to the prominent appearance of Bokeem Woodbine as theSpartan Soren-066 , who leave the UNSC to get together the Insurrection — aka the periphery sect of humankind who the Spartans were originally create to fight against . In the timeline of the show , the Insurrection is still around and sound off the same clip as the Covenant is , and it ’s one of the many tweaks to the new timeline that may make for a more interesting show and recondite looking at at Chief as a mortal .
