As far as videogame franchises I’ve never touched in my life but still kept hearing about regardless, “Halo” is probably number one in the list. It’s been an influential mainstay in pop culture for years with multi-media franchise efforts adding to its legacy, and with none other than Paramount Plus series, Halo, contributing its payload to the fandom.
Fans saw a few teasers a while back and now a trailer makes the rounds with views in the millions and rising, and with talk of a new showrunner for a potential season two already making headway in the dialogue. Season one is set to stream exclusively on March 24 with a cast led by actor Pablo Schreiber in debuting franchise character spearhead, Master Chief, Spartan John-117.
Dramatizing an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant, Halo the series will weave deeply drawn personal stories with action, adventure and a richly imagined vision of the future.
In a war for humanity’s very survival, our deadliest weapon is our greatest hope.
