Paramount Plus has dropped the first full trailer for its highly anticipated Halo TV series, and it looks appropriately big.
The wait is over – Paramount Plus has dropped the first official trailer for its highly anticipated Halo TV series, delivering what appears to be an epic and (mostly) visually faithful adaptation of the beloved video game franchise. The trailer also brings with it a release date: the Halo TV show will premiere on the Paramount Plus streaming service on March 24, 2022. The Halo TV series tells the story of the Human-Covenant War in the 26th Century, in which Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber) and his AI partner Cortana (Jen Taylor) attempt to stop the alien threat known as The Covenant and its genocidal campaign against humanity. While the upcoming TV adaptation seems to be sticking pretty close to Halo’s basic fundamentals, it also appears to be taking a wildly different path in terms of its story. Before we go any further, you can check out the official trailer for the Halo TV series below. As previously explained by Frank O’Connor, Halo’s Franchise Development Director, the TV show exists on its own ‚Silver Timeline‘, allowing its showrunners to pick and choose elements from existing „Halo lore, history, canon, and characters wherever they make sense for a linear narrative“ without invalidating Halo’s „core canon.
