The Master Chief is coming back sooner than we thought!
On March 24th, the long-awaited Halo series will start in the USA and Germany. It remains to be seen whether the Master Chief can also conquer the TV landscape. Paramount, on the other hand, is sure and is already ordering a sequel.
Second season of the Halo series already confirmed
First the most important news: Yes, the Halo series will be broadcast in Germany parallel to the US release. So German Halo fans can take a deep breath, because the streaming provider Sky will be the sci-fi series from March 24th have in the program (source: DWDL).
This is interesting because the series was produced exclusively for Paramount+ and this streaming provider is not yet available in Germany. A fact that is set to change this year. So it’s safe to assume that the Halo series will only be streamable on Sky temporarily and then eventually move to Paramount+.
That will be at the latest with season 2 happen – because although the series has not even started yet, Paramount believes in the success of the brand and has already commissioned a sequel. Season 2 will then most likely appear after 2023 (source: game spot).
First scenes from the Halo series can be seen in the official trailer:
What is the Halo series about?
Although the series will rely on well-known elements from the games, such as the Master Chief (played by Pablo Schreiber) or Cortana, it will also be in a separate timeline play. This is to prevent the history of the games and the history of the series from colliding with each other, which would probably inevitably have led to contradictions in content.
At the same time, you open yourself up a whole new audience, which has not previously had any contact with the Halo franchise. It remains to be seen to what extent the games and the series will ultimately differ.
Officially, it says only that the Halo series takes place in the 26th century and focuses on the war between humans and an extraterrestrial threat. At the center of this confrontation is the Master Chief, a sophisticated super soldier fighting on the front lines for human survival.
