Halo will star Pablo Schreiber as the armored super-solider, Master Chief, while Jen Taylor will reprise her role from the games as Master Chief’s AI companion, Cortana.
According to the creators, the show “will take place in the same universe” as the Halo games and see humanity face off against the alien forces of the Covenant. The trailer doesn’t give much information about the plot, but a quick glimpse of the artistic style and direction the show will take. It seems like a lot of money is being pushed into the production of this series.
We don’t know yet whether or not the series will try to adapt the stories depicted in the games or take its own direction with the games as a foundation. The trailer itself mostly focuses on a few quick shots of Halo’s cast, including Natascha McElhone as Dr. Catherine Halsey, the creator of both Cortana and the Spartan super-solider program.
