But TV shows do tend to spend more quality time with their main characters than games often do. Gasp? It certainly feels like a monumental decision. But for the nature of this story, it felt really important to connect with the Master Chief in a different way, and that meant showing the face. We absolutely respect both sides of that fence, those who really want to see Chief’s face and those who really don’t. For some people, it’s been a moment 20 years in the making, and for other people it is something that feels very hard to imagine. And once we really got into what that story was, it became clear that you really needed to see the person in the armour and under the helmet. Halo’s executive producer Kiki Wolfkill shared: I think we set out to tell a character story and a personal story.

However, the Halo TV series intends to reveal Master Chief’s face for all to see. But aside from this, the games have never truly revealed what the character looks like without his armor. Halo 4 gave fans a very fleeting glimpse of Master Chief’s eyes. However, in recent news from IGN, we learned the Halo series and games will diverge on one important point, showing Master Chief’s face. Bokeem Woodbine ( Fargo), Shabana Azmi ( Fire), Natasha Culzac ( The Witcher), Olive Gray ( Half Moon Investigations), Yerin Ha ( Reef Break), Bentley Kalu ( Avengers: Age of Ultron), Kate Kennedy ( Catastrophe), Charlie Murphy ( Peaky Blinders), and Danny Sapani ( Penny Dreadful) round out the cast. She’s mankind’s “most advanced AI” ever and “potentially the key to the survival” of humanity. Jen Taylor of the Halo games is also returning to once again play Cortana.
Halsey, “the brilliant, conflicted and inscrutable creator” of the Spartan super soldiers.
Joining Schreiber on the show is Natascha McElhone ( Californication). The creators of the series explained the decision was partly driven by technology, as the team likes to utilize the latest tools to make considered design choices, just like they have done throughout the decades-spanning game series.“Dramatizing an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant, HALO the series will weave deeply drawn personal stories with action, adventure and a richly imagined vision of the future.” But it's a pretty basic place to start when you're talking about making a television show of quality."Ĭortana's redesign has been another subject of controversy surrounding the show, though that choice has also been defended. What I would say to anybody who disagrees with that, I totally respect that opinion. "I'm sorry, but it's the only choice for long-form storytelling in television. That access to a character's emotional life, over the course of time, is what makes you empathise and connect with a character. "To go on this journey with your protagonist, you're not going to be able to bring an audience along in a long-form story without having access to a character's face, which tells you what they're feeling, how they think about everything. "When you play a first-person shooter, the way that a character is developed is very different than what's necessary when you're making long-form television," Schreiber added. It was previously said that the Halo TV show would not be taking place in the timeline of the video games, and would instead make use of a newly formed "Silver Timeline." The new timeline roots the series "in canon" and features everything you'd expect from the story of Master Chief's fight against the Covenant, but it just comes from a "different perspective." But what I would say is that we are tailoring an entertainment experience that's tailored to the medium that it's for." "So obviously, you're not going to be able to please everybody. "One thing I learned very early on is that there's as many different opinions in the Halo universe as there are Halo fans," Schreiber said. Speaking to TechRadar, the actor said that he "respects the opinions" of those who disagree with the decision, though he wanted to assure fans that he felt the face reveal is appropriate for the medium of television. Schreiber, who plays Master Chief in the series, has now spoken out about the seemingly controversial move to unmask John-117.
