The first episode of the long awaited Halo TV series premiered on March 24 on the streaming service Paramount+ and it has already set a new record.
Halo The Series was the most watched series worldwide for Paramount+ in the first 24 hours, according to Deadline. While no figure was provided, the previous record was set by Yellowstone prequel series 1883, which had 4.9 million viewers.
"Bringing Halo to life as a streaming series has been one of the most rewarding efforts for Paramount+ to date and we could not be more thrilled at the massive fan response to the series’ debut," said Tanya Giles, Chief Programming Officer at Paramount+.
"Along with our phenomenal partners at Showtime, 343 Industries and Amblin Television, we cannot wait for fans to experience more of this incredible universe."
Halo The Series is produced by Showtime, 343 Industries, Amblin Television, One Big Picture, and Chapter Eleven. It stars Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief, Jen Taylor as Cortana, and Natascha McElhone as Dr. Halsey. A second reason has already been renewed.

its a shame everyone outside of the USA has no choice but to wait a long time or pirate it
I can view it in nz
Not everyone. (It is available in India at Voot)
I can watch it in Australia.
Where are you getting this? You can watch it almost everywhere... Granted you need to subscribe to a stupid streaming service not a lot of people are using for some countries but this is available. You do not need to pirate anything.
no paramount plus in my county the UK and most of europe..
In France it is on Canal +, In Germany it is on Sky, and so on. UK is not "most of Europe" :)
It really sucks for the UK cause I think there is a deal or something that Paramount is going to be included with Sky (I may be wrong) but I think it is mainly available, only few countries (like the UK) seems to be unlucky. I guess without pirating, the option would be to use a VPN or simply wait :)
Paramount+ is available in Canada, and is quite inexpensive. There's also a 30 day free trial for Game Pass subscribers, at least there is in Canada.
I subscribed to it, there is also the new Star Trek coming in may, so for me the price is okay (I'm in Canada). Will probably drop it after those 2 shows tho.
Of all the things you could change about Halo with a clean slate, they chose to make sure they changed the name Blue team to Silver team?
Does not strike me as strong writing, but I guess we'll see.
I enjoyed the first episode and will keep watching, but I can understand why it might not be for everyone.
This show is not bad but it's a bit cheesy. I think people that have never played Halo would appreciate it more than hardcore fans of the game because there's no expectations for the show unlike from us that ha e played the game and know the story. The first episode gets a solid 6 out of 10 from me. Not something that is a must watch but its entertaining enough to watch when you are caught up with your favorite shows.
Good article!
Microsoft buying Viacom in 3...2...
Saw the first episode and i am impressed with what i saw. I understand its not cannon but its an interesting take. I got RoboCop vibes watching this.
Interesting haven't heard good things online. Angry Joe says the second episode is way way worse. Will be interesting to see how the series does.
Joe wants it to be exactly like the games which i understand, so far seeing something fresh and new keeps it interesting. Everything iv seen apart from the story in this series resembles the games, from weapons, Armour, enemies and vehicles. I am actually excited to see more.
I smell a second season being commissioned.
Already did a month or more ago
Cool!
60% on Rotten Tomatoes is considered good for a movie/Series
I heard Episide 2 isnt that great but i am liking the RoboCop violence
