Halo has just concluded its second season on Paramount+. I was a late bloomer for season one, however I did season two week to week (almost) following my Lunar New Year excursion.
Based on the video game franchise of the same name, the series follows a 26th-century war between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant, a theocratic-military alliance of several alien races determined to eradicate humanity.
Starring Pablo Schreiber and Jen Taylor star as Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 and Cortana.
The second season, consisted of eight episodes, premiered early February, filming for the second season began in September 2022, and wrapped in May 2023.
No news on season three yet, however I am guessing that is a no brainer for Paramount+. So how'd the season finale go down? SPOILERS below the trailer! BE WARNED!
An overeager biologist inadvertently unleashes spores from the canister recovered by Halsey and Miranda which quickly spreads through the base's personnel, transforming them into creatures.
Parangosky and Halsey fall victim to it, but Miranda freezes her mother in stasis in the hopes of finding a cure.
Soren and Kwan rescue Laera, Kessler and, reluctantly, Ackerson, but Laera stays behind after becoming infected. As the group escapes, the shaman appears to Kwan, taking control of the creatures briefly so as to buy them time.
The shaman reveals that she's one of Kwan's ancestors and that the monster is the Flood. John defies orders to help the Spartans before boarding Makee's ship and rescuing Cortana just before it crashes into Halo.
Kai seemingly sacrifices herself to destroy the Covenant flagship in a suicide run, allowing the UNSC to destroy the Covenant fleet.
On Halo, John engages Var 'Gatanai in a vicious duel, ultimately killing him with an energy sword. Makee reveals that she intends to bring "peace" to the galaxy by using Halo to sterilize it. John is interrogated by 343 Guilty Spark who warns him that "it" is waiting for John deeper in the ring.
The series looks a billion bucks, the action scenes are great. Will Showtime/Paramount+ continue this sci-fi journey? I will keep you posted! Up next the new Australian outback comedy, Population 11.
