We’ve known for awhile that a Halo TV series is coming, with Steven Spielberg as the producer, but we’ve only heard talks of it being watchable through Xbox as part of their Xbox Originals programming. However, it appears that Microsoft may be trying to branch out the Halo series due to its popularity.
Variety has reported that Microsoft is “deep in negotiations” with Showtime right now and even goes on to say that they are close to a deal that would have the show premiere on Showtime and then come to Xbox at some point after the initial airings. This seems to go against the point of Xbox Original programming, so we’ll have to see where this goes.
