Last year, Paramount+ ascended to the Super Bowl with a groundbreaking campaign featuring over 30 stars from film, TV, sports, and news series coming together to climb the fabled Mount Paramount.
And just this past weekend, Paramount+ returned to the mountain during the AFC Championship game with this “Bonfire” spot, a nod to the highly anticipated Halo series coming to Paramount+ later this year, with the creative having a little bit of fun with the Halo theme song. “Bonfire” stars iCarly’s Miranda Cosgrove, Halo’s Pablo Schreiber, The Good Fight’s Audra McDonald and Christine Baranski, Reno 911’s Thomas Lennon, South Park’s Cartman, Jackass’ Johnny Knoxville, NFL superstars Matt Judon and Jalen Hurts and more talent from across Paramount+ titles. The campaign is also voiced over by Grammy Award winner Tim McGraw.
Also returning to Mount Paramount to direct “Bonfire” was David Shane of production house O Positive.
