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

On the Rubble, Kwan escapes the grasp of several slavers. Laera berates Soren’s crew for leaving him behind and vows to find him. On Reach, as Cobalt Team, another Spartan fireteam, is sent on a mission in Silver Team’s stead due to Ackerson’s reluctance to trust the latter, John tells Kai that he saw Makee on Sanctuary and pushes Silver Team to train harder; this puts strain on Riz, who is recovering from injuries suffered on Raas Kkhotskha. Ackerson reveals to John that Perez did not corroborate his testimony of what happened on Sanctuary; John confronts Perez, who expresses survivor guilt and admits to not telling Ackerson the full truth. Ackerson, who is holding Halsey captive in a simulated room, uses Cortana to help deduce an impending threat. After Cobalt Team fails to return from their mission, John deduces that they were sent to Visegrád Relay, a communications tower on Reach. Convinced that the Covenant is on the planet, John gathers Silver Team and heads to Visegrád. Meanwhile, at SWORD Base, Arbiter Var ‘Gatanai, accompanied by Makee, takes out a squad of UNSC marines and recovers the larger Forerunner keystone.
