Whether it be a movie or a TV show, the iconic sci-fi first-person shooter series seemed ripe for adaptation. While there have been some attempts to get aHaloproject off the ground, it wasn’t until 2018 that Showtime would green light a ten episode first season, which would eventually get picked up by Paramount+ after once again being delayed due to COVID. After fans were granted their long awaited first look at footage from the show during a teaser trailer dropped during the Game Awards ceremony, it was announced that the first full length trailer would be dropping on July 22, 2025. The official Twitter account for the series has revealed a preview of tomorrow’s much anticipated trailer, which is set to debut during the halftime of the AFC Championship on CBS.
Theteaseis brief, but it provides us with another peak at Master Chief (Pablo Schrieber), as well as one of the aircraft in the series and a snippet of Cortana’s voice (Jen Taylor). Cortana is a beloved A.I. character from the franchise, whose appearance is sure to be exciting to fans of the games.
