Halo: Nightfall is an upcoming live-action Xbox Originals webseries for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, and other Microsoft devices to be released in 2014. Consisting of five episodes, the series is to be created by Scott Free Productions in conjunction with 343 Industries. Acclaimed filmmaker Ridley Scott has been confirmed as the show's executive producer along with Scott Free TV President David Zucker; it will be directed by television director Sergio Mimica-Gezzan. In the series, "A strange and treacherous world exposes elite UNSC operatives to a much deeper danger."

Nightfall will connect the stories of Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians and will have narrative connections to Halo: The Television Series.

Synopsis
The series takes place on the distant human Outer Colony of Sedra between the events of Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians. An Office of Naval Intelligence unit, led by Lieutenant Commander Jameson Locke, is on the planet to investigate terrorist activity. However, the unit is attacked by the terrorists and it is discovered that they are trying to use biological weapons that only affect humans. The unit is forced to work together with Sedran commander Randall Aiken to survive. During their search for the origins of the bioweapon, the unit is drawn to a perilous alien artifact: a partially functioning section of Installation 04, the Halo ringworld destroyed by the Master Chief in the first Halo game.

Production
Nightfall will be filmed in Iceland and Ireland. Filming in Belfast, Northern Ireland was reported to have started by early June 2014 and finished as of June 12, 2014, being subsequently continued in Iceland.
