Halo Season 2 finally premieres next month, which, as per the trailer, will be filled with nonstop action (as it should be). The TV iteration of the popular video games also revolves around the Unified Earth Government’s military agency UNSC fighting the Covenant, and the rebels (insurrectionists) fighting both. 

The Covenant is a vicious military superpower consisting of various alien races who’ve joined forces to destroy life as we know it. They hate humans to the core, perceiving themselves to be the superior race, the Forerunners choosing humanity as their true heirs only made The Covenant more destructive.  

At the forefront of the epic battle are cyber-genetically enhanced soldiers – the Spartans – one of them is Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, humanity’s ultimate weapon and 26th century’s fiercest hero.

What is the plot of Halo The Series

The Halo series on Paramount Plus follows Master Chief, a human super-soldier created to defend the human race from the Covenant, a military force composed of diverse alien species. 

But while the UNSC think they can control him, Master Chief seeks to forge his own path after his fateful encounter with Kwan Ha, the sole survivor of a Covenant attack at an Insurrectionist outpost, and discovering an alien relic he has a deep connection to. 

The mystery of the Forerunner keystone that only Master Chief can activate only deepens, since it’s able to unlock his memories from when he was a child. Even more baffling, the keystone is connected to a ‘Sacred Ring’, or ‘Halo’ as the Covenant call it. The aliens believe that ‘Halos’ can open the path to salvation. 

In truth, these ancient megastructures are the Forerunners’ (powerful race who existed thousands of years ago) ultimate destructive weapon of last resort. It’s stupendously more than powerful to wipe all sentient life across the galaxy. Master Chief’s connection to all of this is just one of the show’s most intriguing mysteries.
