Halo Season 2 scores February release with new first look
Ready to return to the world of Halo? The second season of Paramount Plus’ live-action adaptation just released a first look at CCXP alongside a February 8 release date.
The news comes a day or two after the streaming service launched its flagship show’s first season on YouTube. Unfortunately, the date was leaked via the descriptions for a bit, so it wasn’t much of a surprise. However, we got our first teaser for the new season and it looks to be a ride for sure.
In the minute-and-a-half-long trailer, we see a bunch of wide shots and some action, and the epic scale does feel a bit more on par with viewer expectations. It’s just a first look, so we can expect a better picture when a full trailer comes around. For now, what we got looks, dare I say, more promising than the first.
Despite Halo receiving mixed reviews, the viewership was record-breaking for Paramount Plus, easily prompting a season two renewal. Well, that could be attributed to its looseness in the adaptation department. I mean, the show’s first episode had Master Chief take his helmet off (and if you didn’t last through that, he takes off more than just that). Personally, I hope the team takes into consideration the feedback from viewers and crafts a series worthy of its fanbase.
Halo stars Pablo Schreiber (Narcos) as Master Chief/John-117 and Jen Taylor (Halo: Combat Evolved) as Cortana, whom we got to speak to last year. The supporting cast boasts the likes of Charlie Murphy (Happy Valley), Natascha McElhone (The Truman Show), and Bokeem Woodbine (Spider-Man: Homecoming), just to name a few. So, if you have time to kill, you can watch all the episodes free of charge via this playlist and finish the fight before February 8.
