Halo TV series - season 2

(Image credit: Paramount+)

The first season received 70% onRotten Tomatoesfrom the critics, even less from viewers, so it’s hoped that Halo Season 2 will be better received. The first look trailer certainly shows promise.

Paramount’sstreaming servicereally needs a big blockbuster that isn’t Star Trek or Yellowstone to elevate it to the same level as the likes ofNetflix,Amazon PrimeVideo,Disney+ andApple TV+. The fact that its app is now available on Xbox – the spiritual home of Halo – will help too.

Halo Season 2 will be available on the platform from 8 February 2024. In all fairness, like thesecond season of House of the Dragon, it is likely to benefit from being the first to be filmed and completed outside of the constraints of the pandemic.

That’s not to say it won’t stray from gaming tropes – something that some have bemoaned about the series so far – but it looks to be more epic in scale. Oh, and the Halo is actually in it. That’ll help.

What is Paramount+?

Paramount+ is a long-established streaming service in the US but perhaps less so in the UK and Europe. That’s maybe because, unlike the States, there’s currently only one payment tier, which only offers 1080p streaming and 5.1 audio.

That’s set to change, though. A new premium, 4K tier has recentlyrolled out to several additional regionsand could be coming to the UK too.

One of the first countries to get Premium outside of the States is Australia, where it is priced at AU$13.99 per month, or AU$124.99 for a year’s subscription. That’s roughly £7.25 and £65 respectively.

A Paramount+ subscription in the UK currently costs £6.99 per month.
