The series features Shabana Azmi in a pivotal role.

Voot Select reveals that beginning March 24, 2022, it will be exclusively streaming the Paramount+ original series sci-fi phenomenon Halo continuing to deliver a vibrant palette of varied genres in its stronghold repertoire. Halo is based on one of the most popular sci-fi video games of all time, and it will be set in the universe that began in 2001 with the release of Xbox's Halo game. It dramatizes an epic war between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant in the 26th century.

The new nine-episodic series' action-packed fight scenes and thrilling cinematography will keep fans on the edge of their seats. Pablo Schreiber (Orange is the New Black) stars as Spartan-117's Master Chief; Natascha McElhone (The Truman Show) stars as Dr. Halsey, the brilliant, conflicted, and cryptic inventor of the Spartan super troops; and Jen Taylor stars as Cortana, the most advanced AI in human history. Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Natasha Culzac, Olive Grey, Yerin Ha, Bentley Kalu, Kate Kennedy, Charlie Murphy, and Danny Sapani all have important appearances in the series. Ryan McParland, Burn Gorman, and Fiona O'Shaughnessy also join the cast as new characters.

Ferzad Palia, the Head of SVOD & International Business at Viacom18, stated in response to Voot Select's announcement of exclusively streaming Halo that the game established the beginning of gaming culture in India and has a cult following around the world. He also said that the show is even more special for Indian spectators because Shabana Azmi plays a crucial role in it. Not only gamers but also sci-fi fans will be excited by the prospect of a series based on this classic title. They are ecstatic to be streaming this series, and he is confident that the massive production scale and gripping storyline will exceed expectations, putting Halo among the finest series of 2022.

Shabana Azmi remarked that being a part of the drama and working on this project has been a dream come true. The show is about artificial intelligence, which is a completely new genre for her, so it allowed her to grow and learn. The veteran actor had a great time on set with great actors like Natascha McElhone, Pablo Schreiber, and Jen Taylor. The series' aesthetics are spectacular, and Shabana is looking forward to seeing how it'll be welcomed by people throughout the world when it's released.

Halo will be set in a timeline before Halo Infinite, during which the Covenant conflict is still raging. Insurrection (the Spartans' initial foes) is also included in the story, with a secret to be disclosed.
