Paramount+ has a hard premiere date for Halo season 2.
The Pablo Schreiber-starring sci-fi series returns to the streamer on February 8 — in all countries where Paramount+ is available.
Along with the announcement, the streamer dropped a new teaser trailer, and fresh details on what fans can expect in season 2. Read on for more:
In season two, Master Chief John-117 (Schreiber) leads his team of elite Spartans against the alien threat known as the Covenant. In the wake of a shocking event on a desolate planet, John cannot shake the feeling that his war is about to change and risks everything to prove what no one else will believe – that the Covenant is preparing to attack humanity’s greatest stronghold. With the galaxy on the brink, John embarks on a journey to find the key to humankind’s salvation, or its extinction: the Halo.
The series is based on the 2001 XBox game which centers on an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant.
Halo stars Pablo Schreiber (American Gods) as Master Chief, Spartan-117 and Natascha McElhone (Californication) as Dr. Halsey, both of whom serve as producers this season.

New additions to the cast this season include Joseph Morgan (Vampire Diaries), Cristina Rodlo (No One Gets Out of Here Alive), and Christina Bennington (Midsomer Murders).
