HALO: Pablo Schreiber Cast as Master Chief

Showtime has cast the lead in its upcoming HALO series: Pablo Schreiber.

The AMERICAN GODS star (who has also had memorable arcs on ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK and LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT) will play Master Chief, “Earth’s most advanced warrior in the 26th century and the only hope of salvation for a civilization pushed to the brink of destruction by the Covenant, an unstoppable alliance of alien worlds committed to the destruction of humanity.”

The series—which is based on the Xbox franchise—has also cast Yerin Ha. The actress will play a new character to the world, Quan Ah. Quan is a “shrewd, audacious 16-year-old from the Outer Colonies who meets Master Chief at a fateful time for them both.”

HALO, which is being co-showrun by Kyle Killen and Steven Kane, will begin production this fall.
