HALO Teaser: Dr. Halsey Sees Master Chief As Humanity's Last Hope

Following up on key art looks at Pablo Schreiber's (American Gods) Master Chief, Kate Kennedy's (Catastrophe) KAI-125, Bentley Kalu's (Avengers: Age of Ultron) VANNAK 134, Natasha Culzac's (The Witcher) RIZ-028, and others, Paramount+ & 343 Industries is offering fans another look at their live-action series take on the HALO video game franchise. This time around, Spartan super-soldiers program creator Dr. Halsey (Natascha McElhone) explains that the difference between extinction and hope lies with Master Chief and his team, and how well they can protect humanity.

"HALO is an expansive, world-building opportunity for Paramount+, and we're thrilled to give fans a second season to look forward to before we launch the series next month," said Tanya Giles, chief programming officer, Paramount+. "HALO will deliver a thrill-ride for fans of the game and non-gamers alike, as it ties together stunning visuals with a deeper look at the personal stories behind these iconic characters, all set within an epic battle for the future of humanity." David Nevins, chief content officer of scripted originals, Paramount+, and chairman and chief executive officer, Showtime Networks Inc., added, "HALO takes us into a dazzling world that we believe will enthrall audiences as much with its electrifying visuals as its bold, character-driven storytelling. This second-season pickup reflects the confidence we have in the power of this epic series to attract and engage viewers. HALO has been a great collaboration with Amblin and 343 Industries, and we are all grateful for the opportunity to continue it."
