Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Sedra city scenes were shot in Belfast, Northern Ireland—same studio complex used for Game of Thrones. Explains the wet, miserable atmosphere.
Nightfall was originally released as five episodic chapters on Halo Channel, making it Microsoft's failed attempt at streaming original content—remember Xbox Entertainment Studios? No? Exactly.
