‘Halo’ Sets Premiere Viewership Record For Paramount+

Halo once was supposed to put Xbox on the map as a place for original scripted programming. Instead, the adaptation of the popular video game is helping to establish another digital platform, Paramount+. According to the Paramount streamer, Halo has set a new record as the service’s most-watched series premiere globally in its first 24 hours of release, topping the previous mark established by Yellowstone prequel 1883 in December.
As usual, no numbers were provided; for reference, the record-breaking 1883 series debut on Paramount+ also drew 4.9 million viewers in a promotional linear airing behind Yellowstone on Paramount Network. We will get a sense of the scope of Halo’s viewership when Nielsen’s streaming rankings for this week come out. A Paramount+ original has yet to crack the Nielsen Top 10.
Halo, which debuted March 24, originated at Xbox and was developed at Showtime before migrating to Paramount+ a year ago.
‘Halo’ & ‘Man Who Fell To Earth’ Was “One-Time Trade” Between Showtime & Paramount+, Gary Levine Says
“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.”
The series, which already has been renewed for a second season, takes place in the universe that first debuted in 2001 with the launch of Xbox’s first Halo game. Dramatizing an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant, Halo stars Pablo Schreiber as the Master Chief, Spartan-117; Natascha McElhone as Dr. Halsey, the brilliant, conflicted and inscrutable creator of the Spartan super soldiers; and Jen Taylor as Cortana, the most advanced AI in human history and potentially the key to the survival of the human race.
Halo is produced by Showtime in association with 343 Industries, along with Amblin Television. The first season is executive produced by Steven Kane, alongside Steven Spielberg, Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey for Amblin Television in partnership with 343 Industries, Otto Bathurst and Toby Leslie for One Big Picture, and Kyle Killen and Scott Pennington for Chapter Eleven. Kiki Wolfkill, Frank O’Connor and Bonnie Ross serve as executive producers for 343 Industries. The series is distributed internationally by ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group.

Did it too early just like they did in the Mandolorian.
Spielberg got it popping on streaming. Never played the game but they made me interested in seeing the next episode. My girl watched it with me and was like "WTF where's the next one?!" When it ended.
I'm in
I liked the first episode
1st episode is up on YouTube
Welp I couldn't make it through the first episode
I'm gonna try watching this....
Welp I couldn't make it through the first episode
Ok I'm not a Halo fan like that
This is interesting so far
Strong Mandalorian vibes and Battlestar
And I always support Bokeem.
I think because all this relatively new to me I don't have any loyalty or expectations
This looks expensive as hell.
Good actors great effects
Bloody very bloody.
I don't know if it's good but it's not bad at all so far 2 episodes in.
it is not the best but I will continue to watch it. I'm enjoying it so far.
Watched the first three episodes enjoyed them all. Glad I never played the game. Great story so far.
Wearing that ass out.
This shit worth my time???
Depends, have you played Halo or do you like science fiction shows like The Expanse?
I like the show and it has good story telling. I am a fan of the video game but realize that they are not the same
Not a fan of the young girl Kwan ha
Am I missing a lot because I don't remember the game?
nope this is not the story from the game
"I know how the game is played Cortana"
This is the best new show out right now. He was about to fuck that doctor up.
i don't know about that
this show is mediocre at best...
lots of story lines that nobody cares about.. and they said F the source material
Oh what is the best new show out now?
i had to go through my roku ultra to get 4k atmos on paramount plus.
yeah, the show is mad average. it is barely holding my attention.
it is basically a bloody cartoon.
Winning Time
plenty better than this one
I will say it is not cheap
You see they spent ALL the money on this project.
I found it hard to critique because I wasn't sure if it was following the source material.
It looks great the cast is pretty good
I am very forgiving of 1st season sci fi because it takes a lot to build a universe from scratch.
I would wait to see how they close this season out and start the next before I really go in.
