Halo (also known as Halo: The Series) is an American military science fiction television series developed by Kyle Killen and Steven Kane for the streaming service Paramount+, 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 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 Shabana Azmi, Natasha Culzac, Olive Gray, Yerin Ha, Bentley Kalu, Kate Kennedy, Charlie Murphy, Danny Sapani, Bokeem Woodbine, and Natascha McElhone. Development for a television series began in 2013.[2] Killen was hired in June 2018, and the series officially announced a nine-episode order for Paramount+. Filming began in Ontario, Canada in October 2019, although post-production for the first five episodes was affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming eventually resumed in Budapest, Hungary, in February 2021.

Halo premiered on March 24, 2022, on Paramount+,[3] with the series already renewed for a second season.[4] A portion of the series was shown at SXSW on March 14, 2022.[5]

Premise

Halo is set to follow "an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant. Halo will weave deeply drawn personal stories with action, adventure and a richly imagined vision of the future."[6]

Executive producer Kiki Wolfkill revealed that the series is a standalone story that takes place within its own "Silver Timeline" that is separate from and inspired by the core canon and lore of the transmedia franchise rather than a continuation, adaptation, prequel, or sequel, explaining that they wished to give the two Halo canons a chance to evolve individually to suit their media.[7] This decision has been compared to how Marvel Studios has adapted the Marvel Comics into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[8]

1"Contact"Otto BathurstKyle Killen and Steven KaneMarch 24, 2022 (2022-03-24)
In 2552, the Covenant attack an Insurrectionist outpost on the planet Madrigal, massacring everyone except for teenager Kwan Ha before the Spartan unit Silver Team intervenes. In a nearby cave system, Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 discovers and retrieves a Forerunner artifact that reacts to his touch, displaying mysterious symbols and unlocking some of his sealed childhood memories. A surviving Covenant Elite witnesses and reports this to the Prophet of Mercy at the Covenant capital, High Charity. On Reach, Dr. Catherine Halsey clashes with Admiral Parangosky over their methods and Halsey's work on a new type of AI based on her own brain patterns. After Kwan refuses to cooperate with the UNSC, the Master Chief is ordered to execute her. He defies the order and rebels, earning Kwan's trust by taking off his armored helmet when she threatens him with his rifle. UNSC Captain Jacob Keyes orders the Master Chief to be taken into custody; the Master Chief touches the artifact again, which disables power in the base while restoring power to his ship, allowing him and Kwan to escape. In the process, the Master Chief discovers that he had drawn the artifact as a child, suggesting that he has a past connection to it.
2"Unbound"Otto BathurstKyle Killen and Steven KaneMarch 31, 2022 (2022-03-31)
In a flashback, a young John catches Soren, a fellow Spartan, fleeing and allows him to escape. On the run from the UNSC, John takes Kwan and the artifact to Rubble, a secret Insurrectionist base carved out of a series of broken asteroids. There they reunite with Soren who is now an Insurrectionist leader. On Reach, Halsey faces intensive scrutiny over John's actions but promises a solution to his and any future problems of this nature. Captain Keyes dispatches Silver Team to find John and bring him back along with the artifact and Kwan. On High Charity, the surviving Elite from Madrigal reveals to the Prophets and their ward Makee that John activated the relic; despite hesitance from the Prophet of Mercy, Makee insists that she can recover the artifact herself. Back on the Rubble, Soren introduces John to Reth, a deranged hermit who was once held captive by the Covenant. Reth forces John to reveal his ability to activate the artifact and hints that it leads to an alien superweapon of unparalleled destructive power. Shaken by the experience, John leaves Kwan with Soren and surrenders to Silver Team. He is consoled by Halsey, who promises a new beginning for him and awakens a flash clone of herself to create Cortana.
3"Emergence"Roel ReinéKyle Killen and Steven KaneApril 7, 2022 (2022-04-07)
In a flashback, a young Makee is discovered and inadvertently rescued from torture by Covenant Elites who find her reacting to a Forerunner device. In the present, Makee leads a Lekgolo colony on a raid of an UNSC corvette in an attempt to find the location of the Madrigal artifact, but after the UNSC preemptively wipe all of the ship's data, Makee chooses to travel to Madrigal where the artifact was originally discovered; she inadvertently leaves transmissions of her orders behind. On the Rubble, Kwan convinces Soren to take her back to Madrigal in order for her to reunite with Insurrectionists loyal to her deceased father in exchange for a payment of deuterium. On Reach, Parangosky orders Miranda Keyes to study the artifact behind Halsey's back. Halsey completes the procedure of creating Cortana (and killing her flash clone in the process), before putting her in John's brain via a neural implant. Cortana, following Halsey's instructions, helps John remove an emotional suppressor pellet in his lower spine. After John explores some of the cityscape on Reach, he returns to base and touches the artifact again, where he has memories of his parents, his home planet of Eridanus II, and of him drawing the Madrigal artifact and a second larger, complementary artifact. John, convinced that the second artifact is located on Eridanus II, convinces Halsey to let him travel to Eridanus II to investigate, although Halsey insists she accompanies him.
4"Homecoming"Roel ReinéJustine Juel Gillmer and Steven KaneApril 14, 2022 (2022-04-14)
On Reach, Kai-125 removes her emotional suppressor pellet and then helps Miranda analyze the Madrigal artifact; after helping to translate some of the Sangheili language from both footage of their mission on Madrigal and transmissions from the lost UNSC corvette, Kai and Keyes discover that the artifact is related to a "Sacred Ring" that the Covenant call "Halo". On Madrigal, Soren and Kwan find her father's former allies, but due to fear of both the Covenant and reprisals from the new UNSC-supported governor Vinsher Grath, they refuse to help her. Soren's ship is subsequently discovered and confiscated; Kwan goes to her aunt for help and learns of a mystical tribe that may have answers for her, but an agent of Grath's regime kills her aunt before Soren takes them out; Soren and Kwan barely escape Grath's troops and head for the spaceport to leave the planet. On Eridanus II, John, Halsey, and Cortana examine John's old home and find he had buried numerous drawings of the Forerunner artifacts. After using Cortana to help recreate his home, John has clear memories of not only the location of the second artifact, but also his childhood and a visit from Halsey playing a game with him. John subsequently takes Halsey to the location of the Eridanus II Forerunner artifact in a cavern.
5"Reckoning"Jonathan LiebesmanRichard E. Robbins and Steven KaneApril 21, 2022 (2022-04-21)
On Madrigal, Soren restrains Kwan while he tries to find a way off the planet, but Kwan frees herself, sneaks up on and knocks Soren unconscious after tracking him down, and steals his pistol and vehicle. On Eridanus II, the UNSC is preparing to secure the Eridanus II artifact and take it back to Reach. As the UNSC is testing the artifact, it releases a sonic boom that alerts Makee and the Covenant, who had been searching for it on Madrigal, to its true location. As John continues to question his past, he touches the artifact and has clear memories of Halsey and ONI troops kidnapping him as a child and replacing him with a flash clone of himself; in a rage, he attempts to kill Halsey before Cortana disables him using their mental link. As John awakens and contemplates his newfound knowledge, a Covenant corvette arrives and launches a surprise attack on the UNSC mission, using a combination of ground forces and aerial support. Despite the efforts of the UNSC and Silver Team, the UNSC suffer heavy casualties, Kai is severely wounded, and the Covenant successfully retrieve the Eridanus II artifact and withdraw. As the Covenant corvette escapes the planet, a single drop pod drops down from the corvette, which John investigates; as he approaches the pod, John finds Makee.
6"Solace"Jonathan LiebesmanSilka Luisa and Steven KaneApril 28, 2022 (2022-04-28)
The surviving UNSC forces of the Eridanus II mission return to Reach. The UNSC also takes Makee into their custody; although she claims to have been a prisoner of the Covenant, there are sentiments of distrust and skepticism within the UNSC, considering that the Covenant aren't known to take human prisoners. When John interrogates Makee, she reveals that they are both "blessed" with the ability to activate Forerunner technology; further medical testing confirms that John and Makee share a number of similarities in their genetic profiles. Due to the deviations in behavior demonstrated by John and Kai following their removal of their emotional suppressors, Parangosky assigns Miranda to replace Halsey as leader of all ongoing ONI projects; when Miranda meets with Halsey under the pretense of getting clearances, Halsey secretly obtains a copy of Miranda's retina scan. John, upset at Halsey about lying to him about his past, confronts her and learns the true origins of the Spartan program: kidnapping and conscripting children to serve as supersoldiers, replacing them with terminally ill flash clones to alleviate suspicions, and subjecting them to augmentations with risk of deformation or death; John shares this with a recovering Kai. When John tests the Madrigal artifact once more, despite warnings of the possible ill effects it has on his health, he and Makee simultaneously have arrhythmias and seizures, while also sharing a vision of being on a Halo ringworld together.
7"Inheritance"Jessica LowreySteven KaneMay 5, 2022 (2022-05-05)
While Soren, having returned to the Rubble, engages in space piracy against the UNSC, Kwan ventures into the deserts of Madrigal to track down a reclusive tribe of mystic nomads, hoping for answers about her family's true purpose. The mystics reveal that when Kwan's ancestors settled on Madrigal, they were charged by a Forerunner AI with protecting a Forerunner portal that resides somewhere on the planet. Returning to her father's abandoned command outpost, Kwan finds old letters addressed to her great-grandfather seeking information on the location of the portal. Kwan is rejoined by Soren, who came back in order to fulfill his promise to John to look over her, just before the outpost is surrounded by Vinsher Grath and his troops, looking to collect the bounty on Kwan. Despite being heavily outnumbered, Kwan insists upon fighting back in the hopes of killing Grath and freeing Madrigal from his tyranny. While Soren holds off Grath's forces, Kwan rigs the outpost's deuterium power supply and detonates it by firing an assault rifle that the Master Chief had discarded during the Covenant attack. The explosion kills Grath and his men; Kwan then pays Soren with money recovered from the outpost's supplies to honor their original deal. The two part on amicable terms, with Kwan determined to continue her mission and find the portal and take her position as its protector.
8"Allegiance"Jonathan LiebesmanJustine Juel Gillmer and Steven KaneMay 12, 2022 (2022-05-12)
John, now healthy again, begins to socialize with Makee and view her as a potential ally following their shared visions of the Halo, despite the continued doubts of the UNSC who view her as a mole for the Covenant. John learns from her that the Covenant are after the Halo rings due to their prophecy of a "Great Journey". After a Covenant attack on another planet, John is able to convince the UNSC to let Makee test the artifact, albeit under Miranda's supervision. John, without his emotional suppressor, and Makee, who views him with a degree of kinship and trust, have sex; noting John's kindness and similarity to her, she begins to reconsider her loyalties. Meanwhile, Halsey finds out about John's relationship through Cortana and regains remote access to the UNSC network by secretly copying Miranda's retina scan. Halsey then initiates remote protocols that disable all comms within the UNSC base and places Spartans Riz and Vannak under her direct control, ordering them to capture John, Makee, and the artifact; Cortana chooses at the last second to warn John. Riz and Vannak restrain Kai and attempt to fight John, and Miranda reveals transmissions of Makee leading the attack on the UNSC corvette. Although Makee was trying to get help for John, when UNSC troopers restrain and torture her (bringing back memories of her youth), she reaffirms her loyalty to the Covenant, frees herself, and touches the artifact, sending shockwaves throughout the UNSC base, before saying her goodbyes to John via another shared vision.

Production

Development

The television series had gone through development hell with a planned release in 2015 with Steven Spielberg as producer that later changed to a 2019 release with Rupert Wyatt as director and producer,[15][16] then a 2020 release;[17] ultimately releasing in 2022 with Otto Bathurst replacing Wyatt.[18]

On May 21, 2013, Steven Spielberg was attached in executive producing a television series based on the video game franchise Halo, distributed by Xbox Entertainment Studios and Spielberg's company Amblin Television, to be titled Halo: The Television Series.[2] As of August 2015, the series had still been in active development.[19]

On June 28, 2018, Showtime was given a 10-episode series order. Kyle Killen was set to be showrunner, writer and executive producer, while Rupert Wyatt was attached as director and executive producer.[20] On August 12, it was announced that Master Chief would be the main lead of the series and that the series would tell a new story from the video games while respecting their canon at the same time.[17] On December 3, Wyatt stepped down as director and EP due to scheduling conflicts. He was replaced by Otto Bathurst in February 2019, when it was reported that Bathurst would be directing the pilot along with several other episodes.[21] It was also revealed that the episode count had decreased from 10 episodes to 9.[22][23] In March 2019, Steven Kane was added as co-showrunner alongside Killen.[24] On February 24, 2021, the series was moved from Showtime to Paramount+.[18] Showtime president Gary Levine said that the show was an outlier for the company's brand, and as a "big broad tentpole show" it was a better fit on Paramount's service.[25] On June 25, 2021, it was reported that both Kane and Killen would be exiting as show runners following the completion of season one. Killen had left prior to the start of production, due to him feeling like he wasn't able to fulfill the duties of showrunner, with Kane taking the reins as lead show-runner until post production work had been completed. However, should the show get picked up for a second season, Kane would not return.[24] In January 2022, it was revealed by executive producer Justin Falvey that the show has potential to last multiple seasons and that David Wiener was being eyed as the showrunner for a potential season two, with Kane staying on board as a consultant.[26] On February 15, 2022, ahead its series premiere, Paramount+ renewed for a second season, with Wiener set as showrunner and executive producer.[4]

Casting

From April–August 2019, the cast for the series was announced, with Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief.[27] He was joined by Yerin Ha, Natascha McElhone, Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Bentley Kalu, Natasha Culzac and Kate Kennedy.[28] In November 2020, Jen Taylor replaced McElhone as Cortana.[29]

Filming

Principal photography commenced in October 2019.[30] In 2019, the series spent over $40 million on production costs. The five filmed episodes were re-edited under the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown, with production on the sixth episode and reshoots being planned in Ontario, Canada. Filming eventually resumed fully in Budapest in February 2021.[31] The total production of the series including the post-production is estimated to cost more than $200 million for season 1.[32][33]

Music

On February 14, 2022, it was revealed that Sean Callery would compose the score for the series.[34]

Release

Marketing

The first trailer for the series debuted online during the 2022 AFC Championship Game, while also revealing the March release date.[35]

Broadcast

The first two episodes premiered ahead of release on March 14 at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival. The series then debuted on Paramount+ on March 24, 2022.[18][3] The first episode set a record as Paramount+'s most-watched series premiere globally in its first 24 hours, though no exact viewership numbers were revealed.[36]

Reception

The first season currently holds an approval rating of 70% based on 60 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The website's critics consensus reads, "Halo is too derivative of better science-fiction series to emerge a fully-formed elite, but glimmers of promise and faithfulness to the source material signal it's not out of the fight just yet."[13] On Metacritic, the show has a weighted average score of 61 out of 100, based on 19 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[37]
