Now that Halo has made the first season of the TV show at great success; what other Spartan teams or alternate storylines would you like to see as well? Disney has spinoff Star Wars movies/shows, and it seems only logical for Halo(multi-billion $ franchise) to want to follow suit.
I would like to see Red Team and Blue Team, maybe even Agent Locke’s team with ODST Spartan Buck, which would be cool if the same voice actor (Nathan Fillion) who voiced Buck in Halo 5 campaign. And I always thought Red Team had some insane missions although they seemed to always pull through.
Please state who and what you would like to see in a spinoff TV show.
Fireteam Majestic. They are all played by real actors.Players are also familiar with them.
“At great success”? The feedback to Paramount’s show was so overwhelmingly negative that they took down the episode they put on Youtube to boost exposure. Independently of it not keeping any details faithful to the cononical universe, it wasn’t even well written as a stand-alone show. As such, I disagree with the premise you’re basing your question on. I don’t want to see Paramount make anything to do with Halo ever again. The franchise doesn’t need alternate timelines, and in fact, one of its strengths is that virtually everything (barring Odd One Out, and now this) fits into the same continuity of Canon.
If we were to get a TV show with good writers that’s faithful to the canonical Halo universe (and that’s a BIG “if”), there’s plenty of novels that can be directly adapted (A Halo story doesn’t have to be centered around Spartans, believe it or not).
Just about any team of Spartan IVs could easily be the protagonists of a TV show. They have a lot of personality and character flaws for writers to play around with without contradicting the established lore.
Spartan IIIs would make for a show more like a Bourne movie, and I think most show-runners would have a harder time getting the personalities and mannerisms right.
For the Spartan IIs, I’d steer clear of Blue Team in any of its permutations, because I have no faith in any showrunners nailing the nuances of the personalities and interpersonal interactions of them. They might be able to make Black or Grey Team work.

I agree, it didn’t seem like much. But again it was only 10 mil an episode and I just meant success as they finally created a few somewhat decent live action scenes. I guess it was just cool to see the Spartans and aliens in movie motion picture. But yes I hope that all the money 343 and whoever makes Halo can use it to make Halo better. That’s all we can ‘hope’ for in this hopeless world full of people who always disappoint.
I’m sort of pissed we didn’t get to see a hunter battle this first season

Really I wouldn’t want to see any more TV halo. Its unlikely we’d get main timeline stories so soon after the silver timeline series. It’d confuse show people.
10mil an episode is pretty high tier, Mandalorian is only slightly higher at 12, and Game of thrones started at 6 and became 15 only by its final season

I hope one day a movie or TV show will happen in the canon, but infortunately season 2 is already in production. I just hope they won’t interpret other characters from the game and use their imagination. Silver team was good because they didn’t exist in the game
I always admired Captain Sarah Palmer, plus she is kinda hot. I’d def watch a spinoff TV show with her as the protagonist. Everything she was involved in and the stories of her battles in the past were interesting.
None untill we get some compotent creative heads to play franchise custodians

I’d like to see a live action version of the opening chapter of Silent Storm, honestly. Practically every active S-II in combat at once. So…all of them, I guess?
Just so long as they actually show the distinct capabilities of each Spartan, Im talking Kelly outrunning a Warthog like Silver did in Ep 5.

Yes! I listened to the audiobook of Silent Storm a week ago and thought how cool it would be in live action.

Gray team have huge potential here, they only have limited Canon, there is inbuilt friction due to their more acerbic personalities… It would be so much of a better fit than what we have
i think the tv show was an utter failure for halo fans. tbus i d like to focus on new teams in new settings that sont intefere with the cannon. side storys basicly , so if the f up its fine. the series is in its own timeline so at least halo fans can say its not cannon and they didnt ruin the story , but they shouldnt have touched the known characters at all.
