According to The Hollywood Reported, Seven Kane, the producer of The Last Ship and The Closer, has joined the upcoming Halo TV series as the second co-showrunner. He will work alongside Kyle Killen (Lone Star, Awake) on Showtime's adaptation of one of the most beloved franchised in video gaming.
As revealed by THR, the decision to bring in a second showrunner came from Killen, who wanted to focus more on the overall scale and budgeting Halo (including writing and producing), seeking a partner able to spend a big chunk of 2019 in Budapest, where principal photography is set to begin.
Considering that Showtime calls Halo its "most ambitious series ever," an extra pair of hands will definitely make the production easier. A total of nine episodes have been ordered for the show, but casting and a production start date have not yet been determined. According to Showtime, Halo will dramatize “an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant,” weaving “stories with action, adventure and a richly imagined vision of the future."
