Showtime’s ‘HALO’ casts six more to tagalong with Pablo Schreiber’s ‘Master Chief’!


The cast is growing rapidly as Showtime is in preparation to bring their live adaptation to the popular video game ‘HALO’ to the small screen.


The premium cabler announced Friday that Natascha McElhone, Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Bentley Kalu, Natasha Culzac, and Kate Kennedy have all joined the series adaptation of the megahit video game. They join previously announced series lead Pablo Schreiber, who will play the Master Chief, and Yerin Ha, who is playing a new character named Kwan Ha.


McElhone will star as two characters: Dr. Catherine Halsey, the creator of the Spartan supersoldiers, and Cortana, the most advanced AI in human history, and potentially the key to the survival of the human race.


In addition her role in the Showtime series “Californication,” McElhone has appeared on shows such as “The First” and “Designated Survivor” in addition to films like “The Truman Show,” “Ronin,” “Solaris,” and “City of Ghosts.”


Woodbine will play Soren-066, a 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.


No air date has been confirmed for the 10 episode saga, however the Halo TV series was said to have begin filming in June 2019. Not sure how true that is seeing casting is still ongoing. We’ll keep you CritiX posted!
