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

An overeager biologist inadvertently releases spores from the canister recovered by Halsey and Miranda, which quickly transform the base’s personnel into zombie-like creatures. Parangosky and Halsey fall victim to it; Miranda freezes her mother in stasis to stop the infection from developing further, and promises that she will bring her back. Soren and Kwan rescue Laera, Kessler and, reluctantly, Ackerson after he saves Laera and Kessler, but Laera stays behind after becoming infected. As the group escapes, the shaman appears to Kwan and reveals the true nature of the monster in her visions as the parasitic Flood. John helps Kai and the Spartan-IIIs capture a Covenant Corvette, before boarding Makee’s ship and rescuing Cortana just before it crashes on Halo. Kai destroys a Covenant Assault Carrier in a suicide run with the captured Corvette, allowing the UNSC to gain the upper hand. On Halo, John engages Var ‘Gatanai in a sword duel, ultimately killing him. Makee reveals her intention to bring “peace” to the galaxy by using Halo to sterilize it, before entering a Forerunner structure. Later, John is interrogated by a Forerunner Monitor, who warns him that “it” is waiting for John deeper in the ring.
