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

As Silver Team is cornered by a Brute Chieftain, Kwan and Laera arrive to rescue them, though Riz is severely wounded after she recovers Vannak’s body. John witnesses Reach being glassed by the Covenant before falling unconscious. While unconscious, John remembers that Cortana agreed to do something for Parangosky in exchange for saving his life. Makee, now disillusioned with the Prophets, attempts to enlist Cortana and Var ‘Gatanai to go rogue and find Halo themselves. While Cortana initially refuses, she secretly shows Var John’s memory of his vision of Halo, convincing Var to change his mind. On Aleria, Halsey operates on Riz, but having suffered significant damage, Riz decides to stay behind and find a normal life. Soren and Laera seek out Kessler, only to discover that he was taken by the UNSC. After some initial disagreement between Kwan and John, a crematory funeral for Vannak is held. John swears to hunt down Parangosky and Ackerson, ignoring Halsey’s request for him to focus on finding Halo instead. Kwan has a vision of the Sanctuary shaman, who ominously warns her that “the monster” is coming closer. On Onyx, Kai meets with Ackerson and prepares to lead a unit of Spartan-IIIs.
