New Halo TV Series Trailer Arrives As Reviews For Season 1 Appear Online

Paramount+'s Halo TV series premieres on March 24, and ahead of that, the network has released a brand-new trailer to get fans excited for the upcoming sci-fi show. Additionally, reviews for Season 1 have begun to appear online--head to GameSpot sister site Metacritic to see a rundown of scores.

The new trailer shows off the Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber) going to war, and it also provides some further teases for the stories and settings on the way in Season 1.

"Halo the series will weave deeply drawn personal stories with action, adventure, and a richly imagined vision of the future. Nobody can save humanity alone-not even the Master Chief. Meet the heroes who will risk losing everything to come together and protect humankind from the universe's greatest threat in this stunning new trailer for the Paramount+ Original Series, Halo," reads a line from the show's description.

In addition to Schreiber as the Master Chief, the Halo series cast includes Natascha McElhone (Dr. Halsey), Jen Taylor (Cortana), Bokeem Woodbine (Soren-066), Shabana Azmi (Admiral Margaret Parangosky), Natasha Culzac (Riz-028), Olive Gray (Miranda Keyes), Yerin Ha (Kwan Ha Boo), Bentley Kalu (Vannak-134), Kate Kennedy (Kai-125), Charlie Murphy (Makee), and Danny Sapani (Captain Jacob Keyes).

Paramount+ is bullish on the Halo series, as it has already ordered a second season. Season 1 will have some big reveals, as the show will finally reveal Master Chief's face.

"For some people, it’s been a moment 20 years in the making, and for other people it is something that feels very hard to imagine," Halo's Kiki Wolfkill said. "We absolutely respect both sides of that fence, those who really want to see Chief's face and those who really don't. But for the nature of this story, it felt really important to connect with the Master Chief in a different way, and that meant showing the face."

The Halo TV series has its own canon, known as the "Silver Timeline," so what happens on the show doesn't necessarily impact the games or other media.
