The live-action Halo series has been a long time coming. Discussions for a live-action adaptation of Halo have been going around Hollywood for years, around the time when Halo 3 was released. Several big names got attached to the product, including Steven Spielberg, who is still on the series as an executive producer.
The series wouldn’t go into active development until 2015, and the series wouldn’t officially start production until 2018. The show was originally going to air on Showtime before moving to Paramount+ in February 2021.
