Initially announced during The Game Awards 2021 gala, it seems that the Halo live action series It is not only advancing at a good pace, but it would be practically ready for broadcast. Although many of us did not expect to see this series premiered until much later in the year, even considering the possibility of a premiere at the end of the year, it seems that the wait will only take us a few months.
And it is that in addition to a really promising advance, the last trailer published by Paramount + advances a release date for next March 24 in the United States. Unfortunately, at the moment we cannot say with complete certainty that this is the same release date in Europe, although we should certainly not see a big difference between the two releases.
We’re just getting started. Watch the #HaloTheSeries Official Trailer today during halftime at the AFC Championship Game on @CBS and @ParamountPlus.
