It’s these novels that showrunners Steven Kane and Kyle Killen have drawn inspiration from when bringing “Halo” into the live-action realm.
After multiple attempts and two decades' worth of expectations, Paramount+ is set to launch the highly anticipated new series, “Halo.” Loosely based on one of the most popular video game franchises of all time (with sales exceeding $5 billion), “Halo” throws players into a 26th-century war that has pitted humans against a group of extraterrestrials known as the Covenant.īeginning with its first release in 2001, “Halo” grew into a console-defying video game for Microsoft’s Xbox, and it was expanded upon with multiple novels and side stories-material that has added depth to the franchise.
