Season two of Halo’s TV adaptation is set to premiere on Paramount+ February 8, and we all got our first look over the weekend. It was packed with intense scenes forecasting the destruction of a world, lots of death, and lots of fighting. There were also a couple of neat little tidbits we spotted, including some possible new gear for Master Chief and some new looks for returning characters.
If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, you can check it out on YouTube. You can also watch the entire first season for free via Paramount+ (you don’t even need to sign in) or YouTube.

Halo’s first season certainly divided the fanbase, with many a Halo fan not enjoying the surplus of scenes with Master Chief, helmetless, sometimes completely naked, having sex, and talking. The TV show also takes place in an entirely separate timeline, with characters and locations that didn’t exist in the books or games.
Ultimately the TV show takes more of its beats from the Halo novels, which feature way more dialogue and typically cover darker themes of war and conflict, often calling into question who the “good guys” are in this universe, whereas the games have typically focused on more hopeful acts of heroism. Season two, from this trailer alone, looks set to deliver those same, darker tones.
Read on for some neat moments from our first look at Halo’s second season.
