The long-awaited Halo TV series finally has a new release window – but you’ll need to sign up to another streaming service if you want to watch it.

As per Deadline, the video game adaptation is moving from its original home on Showtime to Paramount Plus, a new streamer arriving in the US on March 4.

Pablo Schreiber, who is set to play Master Chief in the series, has even shown off the protagonist’s iconic helmet in a recent set photo. The production – which returned to filming after a brief hiatus – has also shared a series of images from behind-the-scenes, including enough firepower to take down a Covenant armada.

Paramount, meanwhile, is making major inroads with its streaming plans. Not only is there a Rugrats reboot in the works, but there is a serious change in how we’ll consume some of 2021’s biggest movies.

That bold move, alongside the Halo TV show coming in around 12 months’ time, has suddenly made Paramount Plus one of the leading lights in the streaming arena.
