The Halo: Infinite experience might be a bit troubling for many players with its recent issues. However, fans of the franchise have bigger plans later this month as the Halo TV show will finally drop on Paramount+.
The community has waited years for a live action adaptation of the hit Xbox series after playing through multiple campaigns on different consoles over the last two decades.
With Master Chief at the helm, the Halo TV show is all set to be a major event as the series has seen involvement from Hollywood’s biggest names such as Steven Spielberg.
Along with that, the show will also feature one of the queens of Indian cinema in legendary film actress, Shabana Azmi.

Azmi was first announced as a member of the cast back in 2019, and in the show’s most recent teaser, fans finally got a glimpse of her character in Admiral Margaret Parangosky, who is the Commander-in-Chief of the UNSC’s Office of Naval Intelligence.

In the small clip from the teaser, fans can notice Parangosky’s stoic personality, as she’s a character who’s known for her callous attitude.
The actress was quite chuffed with her appearance in the show as Admiral Margaret Parangosky is her first color blind casting since she began working out in the West 34 years ago.
It’s a monumental moment for Azmi, as she’s part of a franchise that’s known around the world as one of the greatest stories told about humanity in the near future.
With the show set to premiere on March 24, fans are excited about the actress’s role for the show, and they can’t wait to see others like Master Chief and Cortana in action as well.
