For fans of Paramount+'s live-action series take on Halo, the end of the year is wrapping up on a surprisingly strong note. During CCXP 2023, series star Pablo Schreiber (Master Chief), co-star Joseph Morgan (James Ackerson), showrunner & executive producer David Wiener, and executive producer Kiki Wolfkill dropped some good news about the second season. First up, we learned that the second season will kick off on Thursday, February 8th, with two episodes. In addition, we were treated to a preview image spotlighting Schreiber's Master Chief in action as well as a first-look trailer. Last week, that was followed up with a new key art poster ("Rise From The Fall," showing a helmet-less Master Chief mourning those who were lost) and two new images spotlighting Morgan's Ackerson.
So what's on tap for this go-around? How about a new teaser that plays up the theme of being remembered – while also proving useful as a "reminder" that the Paramount+ series will be back this February:
With only a little more than a month to go until the interstellar action returns to our screens, here's the extended first-look preview & overview of the second season of Paramount+'s Halo released earlier this month:
In season two, Master Chief John-117 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 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.
"Behind every single actor on every tv show or movie that [you] watch, there is a team of artists working their asses off to help make that one performance possible. This is my team," Schreiber wrote as the caption to a series of behind-the-scenes images from the production that he shared back in May, confirming that filming on the second season had wrapped. "Each person here provides a critical service that I would be incapable of performing my role without. They are all talented artists in their own right. Hard workers who have completely committed to joining me on this journey and they're all just wonderful people to boot. We spent a lot of time together these last 11 months. They kept me honest and kept me sane. And I couldn't have done any of it without them! I love them all!" Schreiber ended with, "From the bottom of my heart… Thank you!!!" Now, here's a look at the original post:
HALO stars Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief, Spartan-117, and Natascha McElhone (Californication) as Dr. Halsey, both of whom also serve as producers this season.

Led by showrunner and executive producer David Wiener (Brave New World), the series takes place in the universe that first debuted in 2001 with the launch of Xbox's first "Halo" game.

HALO is produced by Showtime in association with 343 Industries and Amblin Television. The second season of HALO is executive produced by Wiener, alongside Steven Spielberg, Darryl Frank, and Justin Falvey for Amblin Television. Kiki Wolfkill, Frank O'Connor, and Bonnie Ross serve as executive producers for 343 Industries, with Otto Bathurst and Toby Leslie for One Big Picture. The series is distributed internationally by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
