The upcoming Halo TV show is almost here, and it releases March 24 behind a lot of anticipation and a considerable monetary investment from Paramount Plus, it seems. Variety reports that Season 1 had a budget of $10 million per episode, which puts Season 1's overall spend at around $90 million for nine episodes.

Variety did not cite anyone or anything for the $10 million budget figure, but Paramount Plus chief programming officer Tanya Giles said the show represents a "swing for a broad audience."

"My hope is this expands what the Paramount Plus brand can mean," Giles said.
