To create a series on Halo and The Master Chief for television, we wanted to do more than create a sci-fi epic that was entertaining to watch. We also wanted to explore the individual stories of the Halo characters and dive deeper into their world. It is a sci-fi show about characters both heroic and fallible, about having hope against overwhelming odds, and a central question – what are we willing to sacrifice of our humanity to save it?
Today, as we hold our first screening of “Halo” the television series at the South by Southwest festival, we’re excited to share the newest (and final) trailer for the show – one that provides a glimpse into that personal storytelling side of the Halo series while expressing those central Halo themes of hope, heroism, humanity, and wonder. It is character drama against the dramatic backdrop of Halo’s action and mystery. This trailer is titled, “Look Beyond” as we all look beyond where we are today and to the possibilities ahead.
This show has been a labor of love for many and it’s an extraordinary feeling to be sharing our pilot episode at SXSW. We will be able to share our reactions with fans and the press, along with our cast members and showrunner. It’s been an honor and privilege to work side-by-side with the talented producers and actors that have brought the universe and the characters to life and share it with the world.
For our biggest fans on Xbox, we are also thrilled to announce that they can watch the series starting day one – Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members will be able to stream “Halo” through an exclusive offer of Paramount+ for 30 days free via Perks, available to claim starting on March 23.
The launch of the TV series is fast approaching, and we can’t wait for you all to take the journey with us when it begins, streaming exclusively on Paramount+, starting March 24.
