The series was first set to release on Showtime, but will now appear exclusively on ViacomCBS’ streaming service next year. Schrieber is joined in the cast by Halo video game star Jen Taylor as the voice of Cortana, Master Chief’s long-time AI companion who is connected directly into his MJOLNIR power armor, and Natascha McElhone as Dr. Catherine Halsey, both the neurological template for Cortana’s AI programming as well as the woman behind the Spartan-II program.
Rounding out the cast of new and familiar faces for Halo lore fans are Shabana Azmi as Admiral Margaret Parangosky, the head of the spy organization ONI (the Office of Naval Intelligence), and and Bokeem Woodbine as Spartan Soren-066, a rogue washout of the Spartan program John was in. They’re joined by Bentley Kalu, Natasha Culzac, and Kate Kennedy as three new Spartan characters made for Halo: The Series: Vannak-134, Riz-028, and Kai-125, respectively. Here’s a new poster for the series, too:
