As some of you might recall, Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg was meant to produce the Halo TV series scheduled to air back in Fall 2015. Development hell ensued, though, and the project lingered until it changed hands several times, with Rupert Wyatt taking over when Showtime picked up the Halo TV series in June 2018. Wyatt also left later that year, with Otto Bathurst set to direct multiple episodes.
The first season of the Halo TV series is at last close to being released on Paramount +, where subscribers will be able to watch it starting on March 24th. Is there anything left of the original Steven Spielberg project, though?
Speaking in an interview published in the latest issue of Total Film magazine, Executive Producer Darryl Clark said Spielberg actually contributed quite a bit.
First season showrunner Steven Kane (who will be replaced by David Wiener for the already confirmed second season) also discussed how the Halo TV series will strive to appeal to both series newcomers and diehard fans.
343 Industries Executive Producer Kiki Wolfkill (whom we interviewed three years back) echoed that sentiment.
Are you excited to see Master Chief in this live action Halo TV series?
