An eSports television series centered around the Microsoft-exclusive first-person shooter Halo 5: Guardians is in the works.

According to Variety, developer 343 Industries has signed a deal with TV production company Pilgrim Media Group to develop the competition-focused reality series.

Kiki Wolfkill, the head of Halo Transmedia at 343 Industries, expressed her excitement to be working with Pilgrim Media to "bring the intensity and extreme competition of Halo 5: Guardians eSports to a television audience," saying, "there is no better partner than Pilgrim to give our fans insight into the world of Halo eSports."

The upcoming Halo 5 series will serve as the first project to come out of Pilgrim Media's recent partnership with Lionsgate and the ESL to create original content for eSports fans.

There's no word yet on when the Halo 5 eSports series will premiere, as the studio has yet to secure a distribution deal.

Halo 5: Guardians released in 2015 for Xbox One. Earlier this year, Halo 5 custom matches made their way to PC, with the game's Forge mode launching for Windows 10 in September.
