Halo was greenlit by Showtime in 2018, with a press statement acknowledging that the adaptation would “take place in the universe that first came to be in 2001, dramatizing an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant.”

One year later, director Otto Bathurst joined the series, and co-showrunner Kyle Killen parted ways with the show. Fellow co-showrunner Steven Kane announced he will depart after Season 1. Steven Spielberg, Darryl Frank, and Justin Falvey are executive producing for Amblin Television in partnership with Kiki Wolfkill, Frank O’Connor, and Bonnie Ross for 343 Industries.
