We will also get to see Bokeem Woodbine as Soren-006, Shabana Azmi as Admiral Margaret Parangosky. The names of three Spartans have also been released. They are Spartan Kai-125 played by Kate Kennedy, Spartan Riz-028 played by Natasha Culzac and Spartan Vannak- 134 by Bentley Kalu.

Other cast members include Yerin Ha as Kwan Ha, Danny Sapani as Captain Jacob Keyes, Olive Gray as Dr. Miranda Keyes, and Charlie Murphy as Makee.

The entire ensemble of Halo looks very promising and exciting! Fans are super excited to see them on screen.

When Will Halo Hit The TV Screens?

The season 1 of Halo will be released on Showtime in the first half of 2021. According to sources, the TV series began production in Budapest in the latter half of 2019. Halo is a series with huge effects and hence post-production will take a long time! The series is said to have somewhere between 9 to 10, hour-long episodes.

What Is The Possible Storyline Of Halo?

Halo is a science fiction series set in the future and it is not fantasy. According to Showtime, we will be able to see a conflict between humans and an alien community, Covenant. Another speculation that’s been doing the rounds is that a part of the story could talk about Chief’s origins and his enlistment in the Spartan program. The story could also focus on the Halo rings or an adaptation of the Halo novels.

The biggest challenge for the team is to create something that fans already know and love, yet something new and exciting!
