Paramount+ confirms the Halo season 2 renewal a month ahead of season 1 of the sci-fi series premiering on the streaming platform. Development on an adaptation of 343 Industries and Bungie's video game franchise has languished in hell for over a decade, with a film incarnation planned first before transitioning to the small screen. Halo began at Showtime with Kyle Killen attached as showrunner/developer but would later change hands to Paramount+ with Steven Kane taking the reins.
Halo is set in the 26th century and explores the heated conflict between humanity and the alien threat known as the Covenant, with the United Nations Space Command taking the fight to them. The plot specifically revolves around Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 and his team of genetically enhanced Spartan soldiers as they seek to protect humanity on the titular world. Despite its rocky development and large budget, it appears the creatives behind Halo are very confident in its future potential.
