It’s been nearly a decade since this Halo series was first mentioned– now audiences will follow Master Chief onto the screen in 2022.

This first look shows Halo‘s Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 putting on his Mjolnir power armor. His A.I. partner, Cortana (voiced by Jen Taylor from the video games), greets him before setting off on an unknown mission. It’s not a lot to go on, but the production value looks good.

The series will focus on the first three games and the prequel Halo: Reach. Audiences will follow Halo‘s Master Chief during the war between Earth’s United Nations Space Command and alien faction the Covenant. The official synopsis:

“Halo dramatizes an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant while weaving deeply drawn personal stories with action, adventure, and a richly imagined vision of the future.”

Halo stars Pablo Schreiber (American Gods) as Master Chief Spartan John-117, Natasha McElhone as Dr. Halsey, and Jen Taylor as advanced AI Cortana. The cast also includes Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Natasha Culzac, Olive Gray, Yerin Ha, Bentley Kalu, Kate Kennedy, Charlie Murphy, and Danny Sapani.

Steven Spielberg is on as executive producer for Amblin Television.

Halo the Series will stream exclusively on Paramount+ in 2022.
