Leaked images of the Halo TV series have emerged

A series of 10 images reportedly taken from the Halo TV series have been leaked online.

The low quality pictures, posted on the Halo subreddit, appear to have been taken from a 69-second teaser trailer.

It’s not clear whether this trailer will be shown as part of the Xbox and Bethesda E3 Showcase on Sunday.

The Halo TV series will air exclusively on streaming service Paramount+ when it launches in the first quarter of 2022.

It was previously due to be screened on Showtime, which is producing the live action series in partnership with Halo studio 343 Industries and Amblin Television.

Emmy and Tony nominee Pablo Schreiber (The Wire, Orange Is the New Black, First Man) plays Master Chief, “Earth’s most advanced warrior in the 26th century and the only hope of salvation for a civilization pushed to the brink of destruction by the Covenant, an unstoppable alliance of alien worlds committed to the destruction of humanity”.

Natascha McElhone (Californication, The Truman Show) stars as Dr. Catherine Halsey, creator of the Spartan soldiers, while Jen Taylor reprises her role as Cortana, “the most advanced AI in human history, and potentially the key to the survival of the human race”.

Its cast also includes Emmy nominee Bokeem Woodbine (Fargo) as Soren-066, “a morally complex privateer at the fringes of human civilization whose fate will bring him into conflict with his former military masters and his old friend, the Master Chief”.

Last year 343 Industries denied claims that distractions caused by the TV show had contributed to the game’s delay. Originally scheduled as an Xbox Series X/S launch title in November 2020, Halo Infinite will now be released in fall 2021.
