Master Chief Will Remove Helmet & Reveal His Face In Halo Show
It has been officially confirmed that Master Chief will be removing his iconic helmet to reveal his face for the first time in the Halo TV show.

The show, which will launch exclusively on Paramount+ on March 24, 2022, stars Natascha McElhone as Dr. Catherine Halsey, Charlie Murphy as Makee, Shabana Azmi as Admiral Margaret Parangosky, and Bokeem Woodbine as Soren-066.

One of the most notable aspects of the character is his iconic helmet, which he has never removed over the course of the 21-year history of Halo.
