Super-soldier Master Chief is back for a second helping of Halo, the live action TV series based on the hugely successful Xbox video game franchise of the same name.
Pablo Schreiber returns as John-117, leading his crack team of Spartan soldiers as they take on their alien enemy, the Covenant, with the human colony world of Reach set for an even greater battle for survival.
While the cast is much the same as season 1, with Natascha McElhone (Dr. Halsey), Jen Taylor (Cortana), Charlie Murphy (Makee) and Bokeem Woodbine (Soren-066) all reprising their roles, early reviews suggest this second run of the show may hit a little differently.
Reported to feature more action and with a tone and storylines that are more in line with those that featured in the game that inspired it, viewers are also being told to expect a major “tragic” twist around the midseason mark.
