As long as the Halo TV program has been under development, fans want to know where it will be set in the classic franchise. After all, Halo has some rather complicated legends, and almost anywhere you place the series, it may encounter events seen in the game, or novels that build the universe. Then comes the possibility of some patching of continuity.
 Finally, fans need not worry because it is announced that the program will be set in its own classic, namely the silver timeline. It's like the Halo timeline you know, but it has nothing to do with it. As executive producer Kiki Wolfkill explains, "It happened in an era that people are so familiar with."
 According to Wolfkill, it is necessary to separate TV programs from games. "The silver timeline was actually created to prevent these things from being closely linked together, so that we lost creative freedom at any end - no matter in programs or games - but still retained those critical moments," she told GameSpot.
 Therefore, although Silver Timeline will share many key events and details with the rest of the Halo franchise, it will also be able to grow as it unfolds the story of John-117 in multiple seasons.
