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

In a shared vision of Halo, John and Makee discuss their different beliefs. After being pulled away from the vision, Makee defeats Uto ‘Mdama with the assistance of Cortana and determines Halo’s coordinates using the stars present in the vision, while Kai helps John subdue the soldiers sent after him. Halsey, Miranda, and Kwan investigate the ancient ruins on Onyx, which Halsey believes were built by those who built Halo. Kwan unlocks a doorway into an ancient laboratory, where they discover the remains of a Forerunner scientist and a city before the three are forced to leave with a device containing the scientist’s research; this helps Kwan realise that the monster in her visions is real. Soren locates Kessler, but loses sight of him and Laera in a chaotic fistfight. Ackerson discovers that the true intent of the Spartan-III training simulation is to cause a nuclear reaction, capable of destroying an entire star system, and even Halo itself. He warns John and Kai about this; Kai decides to go with the Spartan-IIIs while John goes by himself. Donning his armor, John reclaims Silver Team’s Condor and travels to Halo’s location, where the UNSC and the Covenant are engaged in combat.
