South African directs Halo episodes, the finale included

By now most of us are surely familiar with Halo (not the game but the TV series) which, following a slightly underwhelming start, has quickly become a fave of ours… a true story. If for some reason the Halo universe sounds worlds away, you’ll be glad to know that it’s much closer to home than you think: South African Jonathan Liebesman (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) directs four episodes, including this week’s finale, with compatriot Guy Potgieter (District 9, Homeland) as set decorator and Dale Butler as first assistant director.

Brought to us. by Paramount+, the original series is based on the iconic Xbox franchise and is one of the highest-grossing game franchises of all time. The good news is it will soon be available to binge on Showmax in Africa from this coming Friday, 20 May 2022.

With CBR hailing the series as “a compelling, gorgeous sci-fi adventure” and The Wrap proclaiming that the show “has the potential to be Paramount+’s flagship series”, Halo set a new record as the most-watched original series premiere globally on Paramount+ in its first 24 hours of release. One of Rotten Tomatoes’ Most Anticipated Shows of 2022, Halo had been renewed by Paramount+ for a second season before the first even launched.

Emmy nominee Pablo Schreiber brings humanity’s deadliest weapon – and our greatest hope – to life as the iconic Master Chief. The first season of Halo is executive produced by Steven Kane, alongside Steven Spielberg, Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey for Amblin Television.

Halo is produced by SHOWTIME® in association with 343 Industries, along with Amblin Television, and is distributed internationally by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
