Why Showtime swapped Halo for The Man Who Fell to Earth with Paramount+

TheWrap

“We started developing Halo seven years ago, when there was no Paramount+, or even a glimmer of an idea. And it was always a bit of an odd fit. What is Showtime doing making a first-person shooter video game and putting it in their dramas?” Showtime Entertainment president Gary Levine said at the TV press tour. “But when Paramount+ emerged, it just seemed like it was a better fit for all of us. I think this is a one-time thing and we did a one-time trade: You can have Halo and we’ll take Man Who Fell to Earth. You’re happy, we’re happy.”
