Halo TV

We will see Master Chief's face :

Halo TV show executive producer and 343's studio head of transmedia, Kiki Wolfkill, confirmed that fans will “see his face.” She also explained why the helmet was coming off. It comes down to the story they are telling in the streaming show.

“I think we set out to tell a character story and a personal story,” Wolfkill told IGN. “And once we really got into what that story was, it became clear that you really needed to see the person in the armor and under the helmet.”

Wolfkill, 343, and Microsoft seem to be aware that removing the character’s helmet is a controversial choice. While some fans will be over the moon about it, many others wish for the character to remain faceless and mysterious.

“For some people, it’s been a moment 20 years in the making, and for other people it is something that feels very hard to imagine,” she explained. “We absolutely respect both sides of that fence, those who really want to see Chief’s face and those who really don’t. But for the nature of this story, it felt really important to connect with the Master Chief in a different way, and that meant showing the face.”

I mean if he isn't god then I guess it's okay to show his face. But we live in a world where Super Mario Jumpman Mario's nipples were shown in a game before this.

He has to see his son or he dies in combat. Can't see it going any other way.

Don't think Chief will die that fast lol and probably he is impotent because of all the enhancements in his body. lol
 
Despite not blue enough at least Cortana is played by Jen Taylor in this one, Cortana's Voice Actress from the games. So Cortana should be "in character" , from cheatsheet :

Jen Taylor was almost too busy with ‘Halo Infinite’ to do the series

Halo Infinite is Taylor’s sixth appearance as Cortana, seventh if you count Halo: Reach. Production on Halo Infinite and the Paramount+ series overlapped.

“Jen Taylor is sort of a magical being, so being able to get her for the show was incredible,” Wolfkill said. “I mean, frankly, when we started the show, she was knee-deep in Halo Infinite, in the game. So even seeing if we could get her was something we weren’t sure about, without disrupting the game schedule. Then with COVID schedule slips, like everything just fell into place.”
Jen Taylor brought ‘Halo Infinite’ to the origin story

Halo is starting from the beginning of the space marine world. Taylor could be the veteran schooling all the newbies given her tenure as Cortana’s voice actor.

“Having her come on board, not just because she’s an amazing person on set and feels like a little piece of home for me out there, but bringing her voice and all of the history with that character was, I think, the most valuable part of it,” Wolfkill said.

Cortana is Master Chief’s source for mission info. Schreiber said Taylor was a valuable partner on the set of Halo.
“We got to work together to do a lot of the motion capture stuff,” Schreiber said. “It was wonderful to have her on board because of the continuity, you know, from the game to the screen. And, so, it was great to get to work on all that stuff, but really wonderful to get to work with all of the performers here.”

“Obviously, Chief and Cortana have a very special relationship, but the history between Chief and Halsey, played by the wonderful Natascha McElhone, obviously is another central core relationship,” Schreiber said. “Chief and Soren have this very tortured and long history as well, but also very close. And to get to do that with Bokeem was amazing.”
 
New trailer is uo:
 
saw the first ep it's preety good and it's quite different, not like the game storywise. Looking forward to Cortana's introduction...
