In a major development in the entertainment industry, the renowned SHOWTIME TV Network is gearing up for a significant rebranding initiative.
Come January, the network will be relaunched as Paramount+, with the SHOWTIME brand continuing under this new umbrella.
As part of this transformation, Paramount+ is set to bring forth two captivating series that are bound to pique the interest of viewers.
HALO Series: A Sci-Fi Odyssey
The HALO series, set to unfold in the expansive universe that debuted with Xbox’s first Halo game in 2001, takes center stage in this rebranding.
Starring Pablo Schreiber and Natascha McElhone, who also serve as producers, the show follows protagonist John as he embarks on a perilous journey to discover the key to humankind’s survival or demise—the elusive Halo.

SEXY BEAST: Unraveling the Criminal World in the 1990s
Adding to the excitement, Paramount+ introduces the original series SEXY BEAST. This eight-episode saga delves into the intricate origins of Gal and Don’s complex relationship, set against the backdrop of London’s vibrant and volatile criminal world during the 1990s.
