Introduction

Halo is an American military science fiction television series developed by Kyle Killen and Steven Kane for the streaming service Paramount+, loosely based on the video game franchise of the same name.

Produced by Showtime Networks, 343 Industries, Amblin Television, One Big Picture, and Chapter Eleven, the series follows a 26th-century war between the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) and the Covenant, a theocratic-military alliance of several advanced alien races determined to eradicate the human race.

Pablo Schreiber and Jen Taylor star as Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 and Cortana, with the latter reprising her role from the video game series, and are joined by Natascha McElhone, Yerin Ha, Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Olive Gray, Charlie Murphy, Kate Kennedy, Bentley Kalu, Natasha Culzac, and Danny Sapani.

Outline

Following the raid on Raas Kkhotskha, John and Cortana are surgically separated. Six months later, Silver Team is sent on a mission to evacuate residents of the planet Sanctuary from the Covenant, who resist until the Covenant begin glassing the planet. After John rescues Corporal Talia Perez from a squad of Elites, Silver Team narrowly escapes the planet. On Reach, Silver Team meets ONI operative James Ackerson, Halsey’s replacement in overseeing the SPARTAN-II program. Ackerson questions John about his experience on Sanctuary, expressing interest in Halsey’s prior experiments on him and concern over lingering side effects from having Cortana implanted in his brain. After Ackerson seemingly dismisses John’s concerns of the Covenant’s changing strategies, John secretly meets with Parangosky, who states she was discharged from ONI after taking the fall from Halsey’s scandals. Meanwhile, Soren takes interest in an indentured servant who claims to have seen Halsey. Ignoring the concerns of his wife, Laera, Soren purchases the servant’s services in hope of capturing Halsey, but is instead led into a trap and arrested for piracy and treason. Having survived Madrigal’s destruction by the Covenant, Kwan Ha befriends Soren’s son, Kessler, and tells him stories about a monster.
