Paramount Plus’s Halo series is on its way back for season 2 – and it looks bigger than ever.
A new trailer for the series has been unveiled, showing mass destruction as Master Chief John-117 (Pablo Schreiber) leads his army of Spartans against the alien threat, the Covenant.
In his search for humanity’s salvation, the Halo, he’s ready to risk it all.
We don’t have too long to wait now until Halo season 2 – here’s everything we know so far.
Halo season 2 release date
Halo season 2 will premiere on Paramount Plus on Thursday 8th February 2024.
The first two episodes will be available and the rest will drop weekly.
What will the plot of Halo season 2 be?
An official synopsis released by Paramount Plus reads: “In season 2, Master Chief John-117 (Pablo Schreiber) leads his team of elite Spartans against the alien threat known as the Covenant.
“In the wake of a shocking event on a desolate planet, John cannot shake the feeling that his war is about to change and risks everything to prove what no one else will believe – that the Covenant is preparing to attack humanity’s greatest stronghold.
“With the galaxy on the brink, John embarks on a journey to find the key to humankind’s salvation, or its extinction: the Halo.”
Previously speaking to RadioTimes.com when season 2 was about to begin filming, Schreiber teased: “Hopefully, you know, you’ll continue to see the world expand to greater and greater places as the world gets bigger and bigger.”
Schreiber’s co-star Natascha McElhone, who plays scientist Dr Halsey told us. “I’ve seen a couple of scripts, but I guess I’m just hoping that the season that we’ve planted for the characters that you’ve seen in season 1 will just continue to flourish, and we’ll get deeper and darker into all of that.”
