The long in development Halo TV show that had Steven Spielberg attached as producer has finally moved forward and it's been announced that production will begin early next year. The TV show is being produced by Showtime and they have ordered 10 episodes.

The CEO of showtime says this series will be their most ambitious series yet.

Did anyone expect this show to happen? Could it live up to the potential? Could they possibly be aiming to challenge other big TV series out there? What are your opinions about the Halo franchise?

Is Halo even big still? Seems like it missed the peak at any rate. Might be a 'time of life' type thing, but I haven't heard anyone talk about it since about Reach.

Halo is still a strong brand. Halo 5 was the fastest selling Halo game according to this Forbes article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2015/11/04/halo-5-was-the-biggest-launch-in-halo-history/#10fa44a19e74

So basically, sales for other titles were slower than snails. #Tongue

^see how statics can be manipulated easily? Don't trust statistics unless you forged/manipulated them yourself.

Fastest selling was in relation to other Halo titles, but it was also the fastest selling Xbox-One exclusive title.

And it made a ton of money, if you include hardware it made about $400 M.

Halo isn't quite as big as it once was. Pretty sure the MCC release had a negative impact.
