The much-anticipated Halo TV series aired on Paramount Plus last week. While the show received somewhat mixed reviews, it appears to have drawn quite a bit of interest. According to Paramount Plus, the first episode of the Halo TV series was the most-watched premiere in the history of the streaming service (via Deadline).
Paramount Plus did not share any specific viewership figures for the Halo TV series, which is standard practice for the streaming service. Some gauge of viewership can be determined by the fact that the Halo TV series beat out the premiere of 1883, which had 4.9 million viewers.
While they did not share any information regarding viewership, Paramount Plus' Chief Programming Officer Tanya Giles shared a statement about the Halo premiere (via Screen Rant):
Bringing HALO to life as a streaming series has been one of the most rewarding efforts for Paramount+ to date and we could not be more thrilled at the massive fan response to the series' debut. Along with our phenomenal partners at SHOWTIME, 343 Industries and Amblin Television, we cannot wait for fans to experience more of this incredible universe.
The Halo TV series has already been renewed for a second season, so viewers shouldn't have to worry about unclosed storylines or an abrupt finish to the show.
