Halo season 2 is less than a month away, and Paramount Plus has just revealed the season’s latest trailer. Master Chief and the Spartans (excellent name for a Halo cover band, by the way) will return to face off against the Covenant on one of the most important locations in the Halo universe: the planet Reach.
The trailer lets you know immediately what the stakes are for Halo season 2, with a voiceover addressing the people of Reach. The voice — possibly belonging to Makee (Charlie Murphy), Master Chief’s girlfriend — continues, saying she will be the instrument of their extinction. We’re treated to gloomy scenes of Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber) outnumbered by covenant elites and Kai-125 (Kate Kennedy) watching Covenant orbital strikes destroy UNSC ships, while Captain Jacob Keyes (Danny Sapani) inspires a group of soldiers to make their last stand.
If you know Halo lore, you’re probably getting goosebumps right now. If you don’t, here’s a prescription for Halo: Reach on Xbox, the Deliver Hope trailer, and a copy of Halo: The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund — take all three and call me in the morning.
Knowing that the Halo live-action series takes interesting liberties with the characters and stories, I’m a little bummed we won’t see the fall of Reach through the heroism of Halo: Reach’s Noble Team or in Nylund’s book. But the first season of Halo worked best when it let Spartans grapple with their humanity, then let them off the leash to punch some aliens to death. I can think of no better situation suited to explore both of those ideas in full than during one of the most significant events in all of Halo lore.
Halo season 2 premieres February 8th on Paramount Plus.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League – Your Character’s Head Will Explode if You Disobey Orders
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League being a live service looter shooter may have drawn criticism from plenty of people, but the prospect of Rocksteady developing a game based on the IP is still an intriguing one, especially given the spectacular job the studio did with Batman in its Arkham trilogy. Whether or not the developer is able to replicate that with Suicide Squad remains to be seen, but one particular newly-emerged detail will likely put a smile on your face if you’re a fan of the IP.
