In season two of Halo, Master Chief John-117 leads his team of Spartans against the alien threat known as the Covenant. After a shocking event on a deserted planet, John can't shake the feeling that his war is about to change and he risks everything to prove what no one else wants to believe - that the Covenant are preparing to attack its greatest stronghold of humanity. With the galaxy on the brink of collapse, John embarks on a journey to find the key to humanity's salvation or extinction - the Halo.
The series was led by showrunner and executive producer David Wiener and was set in the universe that first appeared in 2001 with the launch of the first Halo game on Xbox. The series depicts an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant.
Halo starred Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief, Spartan-117 and Natascha McElhone as Dr. Halsey, who also served as producers in both seasons.
Other returning cast members included Jen Taylor, Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Natasha Culzac, Olive Gray, Yerin Ha, Bentley Kalu, Kate Kennedy, Charlie Murphy and Danny Sapani.
