"Star Trek: Picard" may be over, but more binge options await. If you need more "Star Trek," Paramount+ has your fix. Or if you just want more space-based drama, we ve got a few other recommendations for you.
Showtime
Another big-budget TV adaptation of a very popular video game on its way in 2021 is Showtime’s
Halo. The project has been in development since 2013 at Steven Spielberg’s production company Amblin Television, and despite production being mostly completed in early 2020 before the pandemic hit, reshoots have delayed the final cut.
As with
The Last of Us, this project is at risk of the video game adaptation curse, but perhaps most concerning is the fact that the original
Halo game was itself a mash-up of sci-fi influences, from James Cameron’s
Aliens to a number of iconic sci-fi novels. Hopefully a strong creative team has found a way to present this familiar material in exciting and fresh ways.
