Second season of Paramount's Halo adaptation arrives this February, leak suggests

UPDATE 02/12/23: The second season of Halo will premier on 8th February, on Paramount Plus.

A new trailer was released to accompany this news, giving us our first look at what's in store for the next series.

"Master Chief John-117 leads his team of elite Spartans against the alien threat known as the Covenant," the official blurb reads. "As humanity's best hope for winning the war, John-117 discovers his deep connection to a mysterious alien structure that holds the key to humankind's salvation, or its destruction - the Halo."

You can watch for yourself in the video below.

The original story continues below.

ORIGINAL 01/12/23: The second season of Paramount's Halo adaptation will have its premier on 8th February.

That's according to a recent leak, or perhaps a small slip up by Paramount, which listed the upcoming release date as part of a YouTube video description.

As shared by RebsGaming, the first season of Halo is now available in full as a playlist on YouTube (although, it is only available in certain regions). Included in its description were the words: "catch up before the new season streaming Feb 8th."

Filming for the second season of Halo kicked off last year in Iceland. The studio announced this news with a photo of Master Chief actor Pablo Schreiber and his castmates on set.

Halo was actually renewed for a second season even before the first had made its debut. However, on its subsequent release, the series stirred up a few controversies amongst the Halo community. It all started in the very first episode, when the famously helmeted Master Chief showed his face.

From there, the Spartan then went on to show off his naked buttocks and also - spoiler warning - have sex before the season's climax (pun absolutely intended).

Halo is not the only video game adaptation set to grace our screens next year. Netflix's Tomb Raider animation also has a 2024 release window. Meanwhile, earlier this week we got our first look at Amazon's Fallout series, with images showing Walton Goggins' Ghoul and Ella Purnell's Lucy. This series is set to make its debut on 12th April.

If you want to watch something sooner, however, the first six episodes of Pokémon Horizons are now available on BBC iPlayer in the UK, and the series will begin airing on CBBC from Monday 4th December.
