What's the fuss all about?

Kyle Killen was the original showrunner of the TV show who had called it a day at the set. However, Steven Kane, who is Kyle's fellow co-showrunner, will stick around for a while until the season 1 post-production, after which he too will leave the unit. As per reports, he will be leaving the unit to spend more time with his family.

Kyle Killen, on the other hand, had already left the Halo unit before the production commenced because he felt that he would not be able to devote full time to his duties while the shooting was going on in Budapest. It's unfortunate that two individuals who contributed to the coinage of the show will not be around when the show finally airs.

Here's what Steven Kane had to say about his forthcoming departure from the show:

"And if, when, there's a second season, I'm going to take a step back and consult and be available for the new people. We’ll have a new team come in with some fresh eyes to pick up where I left off, which I think is kind of great for the show. Just to keep bringing in new people. It's such a big world that it takes 10 times more work and energy than any normal show."

Amidst all these unfortunate episodes, fans can hope that the show will rise from the ashes and entertain fans just like its game version has entertained gamers for all these years.
