Should Paramount+'s Halo television series be picked up for a second season, it'll be with a different hand guiding it. Both showrunners for the game adaptation's first season are stepping away once Halo Season 1 production completes, Variety reports.

The Halo television series has been through the wringer. The show was announced in 2013 alongside the Xbox One with Stephen Spielberg attached as a producer. After years in development hell and changes behind the scenes, the show was finally under production just in time for the COVID-19 pandemic to halt television and movie production all over the world.

Production on season 1 is currently back underway. This latest incarnation of the show had two showrunners attached--Kyle Killen and Stephen Kane. Killen left the product before production officially began as he was "unable to render full-time showrunner duties during the show's shoot in Budapest," Variety says.
