In season two, Master Chief John-117 leads his team of elite Spartans against the alien threat known as the Covenant. After a shocking event on a deserted planet, John can't shake the feeling that his war is about to change and he risks everything to prove what no one else wants to believe - that the Covenant are preparing to attack its greatest stronghold of humanity. With the galaxy on the brink of collapse, John embarks on a journey to find the key to humanity's salvation or its extinction - the Halo.
The start of the second season of Halo has been set by Paramount+ for Thursday, February 8, 2024.
The series is led by showrunner and executive producer David Wiener (Brave New World (2020)) and is set in the universe that first appeared in 2001 with the launch of the first Xbox game Halo.
The series depicts an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant. The series interweaves deeply personal stories with action, adventure and a richly imagined vision of the future.
Halo stars Pablo Schreiber (Orange Is the New Black) as Master Chief, Spartan-117 and Natascha McElhone (Californication) as Dr. Halsey, both of whom also serve as producers this season. Other returning cast members include Jen Taylor as Cortana, Bokeem Woodbine (Fargo), Shabana Azmi (Next Of Kin (2018)), Natasha Culzac (The Witcher), Olive Gray (Save Me (2018)), Yerin Ha (Reef Break), Bentley Kalu, Kate Kennedy (Catastrophe), Charlie Murphy (Peaky Blinders) and Danny Sapani (Penny Dreadful).
New additions to the cast this season include Joseph Morgan (The Vampire Diaries, The Originals) and Cristina Rodlo (The Terror, Too Old To Die Young). Morgan joins the series as James Ackerson, a formidable intelligence operative who has spent his entire career in the ranks of the UNSC's secretive Office of Naval Intelligence.
Rodlo is Talia Perez, a corporal specializing in linguistics for a United Nations Security Council Marine Corps communications unit and a relatively new recruit who hasn't seen real combat. Returning from the first season, Laera (Fiona O'Shaughnessy) is Soren's confidant, wife and partner in crime. Soren and Laera's son, Kessler (Tylan Bailey), had a relatively quiet, if unusual, childhood growing up on the Rubble.
Halo is produced by Showtime in association with 343 Industries and Amblin Television. Season two is produced by David Wiener alongside Steven Spielberg, Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey for Amblin Television.
Kiki Wolfkill is executive producer for Xbox/343 Industries, with Otto Bathurst and Toby Leslie for One Big Picture and Gian Paolo Varani. The series is distributed internationally by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
