Live-action Halo TV series coming to Xbox One

Live-action Halo TV series coming to Xbox One:

Little was shown of the upcoming series, but Master Chief will be live on small screens soon.

Microsoft and 343 Industries announced plans for a live-action Halo TV series in partnership with Steven Spielberg at the unveiling event for the company’s new console, the Xbox One. The TV series heralds Microsoft’s intent to merge its console as much as possible with live TV, and it is only one intersection of many shown at the event today.
Bonnie Ross, head of 343 Industries, made an appearance at the event to namecheck the success of the Halo-centric Web series Forward Unto Dawn as an integral step toward making the jump to TV. Spielberg called the series "an amazing opportunity to be at intersection of mythmaking and technology."
Microsoft and 343 Industries did not specify how, if at all, the new series will fit with Forward Unto Dawn or the game series. Forward Unto Dawn, which was also a live-action show, centered on the experiences of cadet Thomas Lasky and was released over two months last fall. The series ran as five 20-minute episodes and cost just under $10 million to produce.
