Master Chief A Lead Character in Showtime’s Halo Series

Showtime’s upcoming Halo TV show has kept many major details under wraps as the team works towards production kicking off in 2019, but one major detail has been confirmed.

Master Chief will not only be a part of the show, but will be one of the main characters in the show, but he won’t be the only lead.

Showtime president of programming Gary Levine recently participated in an interview with IGN regarding Master Chief’s identity, saying “a key question and an important part of our series.”

Showtime president and CEO David Nevins also commented, saying that it took the network a long time to find a good script, which explains the delay in the series.

“We made a conscious decision to hire a writer not known for sci-fi and not known for big battle movies, because that’s already baked into the Halo franchise and we will service that.

“But we also wanted to ensure that we were getting beneath the formidable armour of the Spartans and really getting inside the team drama so it felt like it belonged on Showtime,” said Levine.
