The Halo live-action TV series is a go at Showtime. The 10-episode series, which will begin filming in Budapest in Fall 2019, takes place during “an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant,” weaving “deeply drawn personal stories with action, adventure and a richly imagined vision of the future,” according to a statement by the network.

Awake creator Kyle Killen will act as showrunner, along with Steven Kane (The Last Ship), who will oversee production in Budapest while Killen manages writing and producing the show stateside, according to THR. Otto Bathurst (Black Mirror) will direct the pilot and several other episodes. Showtime is making the series in collaboration with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment.

In the latest news, Showtime’s Halo is set to begin production in Budapest this month, also adding more to its cast (which you can read about just below).
