Showtime’s adaptation of Halo is rounding out its cast.
The big-budget production has added six names to its call sheet — Natascha McElhone, Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Bentley Kalu, Natasha Culzac and Kate Kennedy.
They join previously announced series lead Pablo Schreiber and Yerin Ha.
The network’s self-proclaimed “most ambitious series ever,” will adapt the mega-popular video game franchise, which follows the conflict between humanity and an alien race known as the Covenant in the 26th century.
According to Variety, Schreiber will play the Master Chief and Yerin Ha is set to play a new character named Kwan Ha. McElhone will star as two characters: Dr. Catherine Halsey and Cortana, Woodbine will play Soren-066 and Azmi will play Admiral Margaret Parangosky.
Production on the nine-episode series is set begin production in Budapest in the fall.
