Paramount+ has set the global premiere date for the second season of Halo, the hit sci-fi action drama series based on the Halo video game franchise. Check out the trailer.
Following on from the first season of Halo, Season 2 of the hit sci-fi drama series sees genetically-engineered supersoldier Master Chief John-117 (Pablo Schreiber, Orange Is the New Black, American Gods) lead his team of elite Spartans against the alien threat known as the Covenant in the 26th century.
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 are 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.
Halo: Season 2 premieres globally with two episodes on Thursday, February 8, 2024, exclusively on Paramount+ in all countries where the streaming service is available.
In addition to Pablo Schreiber and Natascha McElhone (Californication), both of whom serve as producers this season, returning cast members include Jen Taylor (Halo game series), Bokeem Woodbine (Fargo), Shabana Azmi (Next of Kin), Natasha Culzac (The Witcher), Olive Gray (Save Me), Yerin Ha (Troppo), Bentley Kalu (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Kate Kennedy (Catastrophe), Charlie Murphy (Peaky Blinders), Danny Sapani (Penny Dreadful), and Fiona O’Shaughnessy (Foundation).
