This Halo article contains spoilers.
There’s no denying that the Halo season 2 finale delivered the goods, not only finally getting Master Chief and Cortana to the ring itself but also setting up storylines from the original game that will hopefully pay off in big ways in a third season. But despite a cliffhanger finale that introduced both 343 Guilty Spark and the Flood parasite, and that ended with John-117 preparing to trek deeper into the depths of the ring, we still haven’t heard anything about Halo season 3.
Not that the Halo team isn’t already thinking about what could come next. In fact, judging from comments made earlier this year, they’re more than ready to finish the fight.
“You always have to assume the best, right? And you wanna be writing with that long-term view in mind. So, definitely there’s story beyond season 2. We would love to be able to explore,...

With much of the second season spent in the snail-paced development of unremarkable subplots, the finale of the second season of Halo was bound to get a bit haphazard and crammed. However, this obvious shortcoming was somewhat nullified by a good dose of drama, action, and plot twists, which probably stemmed from the sudden realization the series makers had to match up with the original storyline.
Previously, as Makee and Master Chief were psychically transported to the Ringworld, the location of the Halo was recorded and revealed by Cortana, which led Arbiter to head towards the Halo, followed by a huge fleet of Covenant forces. Oni acting chief Admiral Parangosky decides to shift blame onto Colonel Ackerson for the mishap on Reach, and upon learning that the Covenant forces are heading towards the Halo, he prepares to sacrifice the entire new generation Spartan III battalion to stop the Covenant from...

The central conflict between humans and the Covenant forces reaches a significant juncture as Paramount+’s cosmic warfare epic Halo nears the end of its second season. Previously, Master Chief arrived on the planet Onyx along with Halsey, Kwan, Soren, and Laera, and upon reaching the Unsc base, they confronted the only active Silver team member, Spartan Kai, who had been misguided by Ackerson into abandoning Reach. Kai was shocked out of her wits as Chief exposed the heinous machinations of Oni, which were the prime reason for the fall of Reach as well as the death of their teammate, Spartan Vannak. However, to keep the ruse of her obedience to Oni intact, Kai delivered a brutal beatdown to Chief, knocking him unconscious in the process.
On the other hand, Cortana was able to talk Makee to let her connect with the tech of Arbiter’s ship—using which she...

The Master Chief is back and -- stop me if you've heard this before -- he's ready to finish the fight. After a sprawling opening season introduced diehard gamers and casual viewers alike to the Paramount+ live-action take on "Halo," the sci-fi series is set to make its return for a second go-around depicting the epic war between 26th century humanity and the fearsome conglomerate of alien species known as the Covenant.
Originally brought to life in the critically-acclaimed and immensely popular "Halo" video game series, and the subject of decades of fevered demands to translate such material to the big screen, the valuable IP has instead found its home on streaming with a much more indirect approach than fans may have expected. Far from an exact, beat-for-beat adaptation of "Combat Evolved" or any other story set in the "Halo" universe, the Paramount+ series has largely forged its own original,...
