Halo’s Pablo Schreiber on Playing Master Chief and Filming Season 2 This Summer
250With the first episode of the Halo series arriving Thursday on Paramount+, I recently got to speak with Pablo Schreiber about playing Master Chief in the highly anticipated series. Based on the video game franchise of the same name, Halo follows a 26th century showdown between humanity and an intergalactic threat known as the Covenant. In an effort to win the war, Dr. Halsey (Natascha McElhone) creates genetically enhanced super-soldiers named the Spartans to combat the alien force. The series follows Master Chief Spartan John-117 (Schreiber), the commander of a Spartan unit. Although drawing heavily from the video game’s stories, the show takes place in its own timeline.
During the interview, Schreiber talked about what the series is about, how the show explores who Master Chief is and will “investigate aspects of his humanity and what makes him tick,” what it was like finding out he landed the lead role, and why they sometimes had three Master Chiefs on different sets while they were filming. In addition, with Halo already being renewed, Schreiber revealed why they will start filming Season 2 this summer.
Halo is produced by Showtime in partnership with 343 Industries, along with Amblin Television. Halo also stars Jen Taylor, Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Natasha Culzac, Olive Gray, Yerin Ha, Bentley Kalu, Kate Kennedy, Charlie Murphy, Danny Sapani, Ryan McParland, Burn Gorman, and Fiona O'Shaughnessy. Steven Kane (The Last Ship) and Kyle Killen serve as showrunners. Kiki Wolfkill, Frank O’Connor, and Bonnie Ross serve as executive producers for 343 Industries.
