In addition to Halo Infinite and Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the team at 343 Industries is working on a Halo TV show with Showtime and starring Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief. The production was shut down in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it's unclear when it may start back up again. While we wait for that, Halo's transmedia boss Kiki Wolfkill has shared some new insight on the show and what it's trying to do

Appearing on Star Wars writer Gary Whitta's Animal Talking show, Wolfkill said it has been a "mind-bending challenge" to translate the video game series to TV.

Instead of directly adapting a previous Halo game or book, the TV show is seemingly going to tell an entirely new story. Wolfkill's team has been working with Showtime--which is GameSpot's sister company--on finding the best way to retain the essence of Halo and bring it to a new medium. This has been hard work, both on this Halo TV show and in the past. Fans will no doubt recall how Peter Jackson's Halo movie famously fell apart.
