With buzz circulating around for the video game Halo: Infinite, it reminds me that it has been a long time since we’ve heard an update about the Halo TV show. Yes, that’s right. In case you have forgotten, Showtime is developing a Halo series. With Pablo Schreiber himself playing the main role of Master Chief. We’ve seen the brolic Instagram photos Schreiber has posted. We’ve seen pictures with the actor holding the helmet. But, when are we getting the actual show?
Recently, Schreiber spoke with Collider about his role in Apple TV+’s Defending Jacob. A drama starring Chris Evans and Michelle Dockery. Where Schreiber played Neal Logiudice. An ADA very different than Master Chief. The show was also great and I highly recommend it.
While the interview was mostly about Defending Jacob, the interviewer did throw in some Halo questions to quench our thirst.
How far did you get into shooting Halo before things shut down?
SCHREIBER: I actually don’t know that I’m supposed to talk about that, or allowed to talk about that. We’re well into shooting the first season, but we haven’t completed. But I don’t know that Showtime wants me to talk too much about the details. We’re well into shooting the first season, and it’s going very, very well. I love the people that I’m working with, and I’m very excited about showing it to the world.
That’s something that people have wanted to see as a movie, for a long time, but it seems that the best and most proper way to dig into that world is through a TV series because there’s so much material there.
SCHREIBER: I think it’s the only way to tell that story. I think a movie would never have left enough time to tell that tale. It’s built for television. Long form storytelling is the only way to tell these particular stories.
Unfortunately, the COVID-19 outbreak shut down a lot of projects. Hopefully, Halo can get geared up soon. For the full interview, make sure to check out Collider. Are you excited for Showtime’s Halo series?
