Hollywood Reporter:

More than four years since being put into development, Showtime is officially moving forward with a Halo TV series based on the video game franchise.

The premium cable network announced Thursday that it has picked up 10 episodes of the live-action scripted drama series, with Kyle Killen (Awake) set to serve as exec producer, writer and showrunner. Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) will direct multiple episodes of the series and serve as an exec producer.

Very cool! I know this has been long in the works, so I’m glad to see it finally moving forward.
