The Halo universe has an ever-expanding canon, but we're now learning the upcoming Halo TV series coming to Paramount Plus won't be a part of the current canon. In a video posted to Twitter (via Halopedia), Executive Producer Kiki Wolfkill says the decision should be beneficial for both universes.
"We're referring to this as the Halo Silver Timeline as a way of differentiating it from core canon," Wolfkill said. "In both protecting core canon and protecting the television story, and by that I mean being able to give ourselves the chance to evolve both and for both to be what they need to be for their mediums without colliding with each other."
The Halo universe is filled with canonical content, including the games, books, audio series, and more, so it makes sense for a television show to branch out from the firmly established lore. Otto Bathurst is director and producer of the Halo TV series, which we just got our first look at in a trailer debuted at The Game Awards.
The show will premiere on Paramount Plus next year, starring Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief, Danny Sapani and Olive Gray as Jacob and Miranda Keyes, and Jen Taylor, reprising her role as Cortana. You can check out the full cast list here. And, if you still want to know more about the show, check out everything you might have missed in the trailer in our breakdown below.
