Where the games have always put us inside a helmet, the Paramount+ show pulls back and offers unfamiliar points of view on a story so well-known by millions of fans.<\/p>\n<p>In Season 2 \u2013 which sees its first two episodes released on Paramount+ today \u2013 that\u2019s never been truer. We know from the trailers that this season will tackle a war with the Covenant that edges ever-closer to human home soil and, crucially, will cover the events of the iconic, epochal Fall of Reach. But we\u2019ll be seeing that from perspectives we\u2019ve never had before and \u2013 as we saw in Season 1 \u2013 even seeing changes to the game series\u2019 storyline, upping the surprise factor.<\/p>\n<p>We caught up with Xbox Head of IP Expansion and Entertainment (and all-round Halo legend) Kiki Wolfkill to discuss how the show\u2019s creators have gone about putting a new spin on such legendary events, and even shifted the tone of the show from Season 1.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Halo The Series | Season 2 Official Trailer | Paramount+\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GBEgoaLZzXM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-50 push--25 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWith Season 2, we edge up against events that we start to see in the games,\u201d Wolfkill explains. \u201cObviously the events on Reach, which people have seen in trailers, [are] a huge historical milestone in Halo history and chronology, and are also critical [to] the story \u2013 because what it does is it marks when the Covenant have really come close to home. Reach is our last stand before they find Earth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really tried to honour that event for what it means for the stakes. But also, what we get to do is see it from a different perspective \u2013 we get to see it on the ground. We get to see it from the soldiers\u2019 perspective, outside of Noble team, which is where <em>Halo: Reach<\/em> focuses. And so you get a very different story that comes out of that by virtue of seeing what it means for a Marine to go through that \u2013 what it means for a city to fall and how terrifying that is.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1620\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/Chief-and-Silver-Team-80aa53d9cd96a0bedd63.jpg\" alt=\"Chief and Silver Team Image\" class=\"wp-image-199718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/Chief-and-Silver-Team-80aa53d9cd96a0bedd63.jpg 1620w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/Chief-and-Silver-Team-80aa53d9cd96a0bedd63-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/Chief-and-Silver-Team-80aa53d9cd96a0bedd63-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/Chief-and-Silver-Team-80aa53d9cd96a0bedd63-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/Chief-and-Silver-Team-80aa53d9cd96a0bedd63-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1620px) 100vw, 1620px\"><\/figure>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-block\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-50 push--25 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p>But Reach is only a part of this story, and learning how we reach that moment will be a major part of Season 2. \u201cWe\u2019re about six months or so after the events of Season 1,\u201d Wolfkill explains, \u201cand the environment feels really different. The UNSC has had a lot of changes, the Covenant are edging ever closer. So I would say the big thing with Season 2, where we start off from, is that humanity\u2019s absolutely on its back foot. We saw in Season 1 [that] the Covenant [were] out in the Outer Colonies \u2013 they\u2019ve really come close to home in Season 2\u2026 So we find our Spartans kind of in a different place while the threat gets ever bigger. The stakes feel higher, but a lot in the universe has shifted in that six months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That comes with a shift to the overall tone of the show, too. Wolfkill says Season 2 reflects its more desperate stakes with a shift in how it <em>feels<\/em> \u2013 helped by new showrunner David Wiener (\u2018Fear the Walking Dead\u2019). \u201cIt\u2019s much more grounded, it\u2019s much grittier,\u201d says Wolfkill. \u201c[It kind of goes] back to those <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/uWSLHcAyy90?si=jD2Ng66GdJ7wvV9B\"><em>Halo 3: ODST<\/em> TV ad<\/a> roots, you know? The stakes are high, and this is a war story.

At the same time, I\u2019m super proud of our action. What I love is that intertwining of really interesting character drama, and also just high action and stakes.

What\u2019s exciting about bringing Ackerson in is it\u2019s a character we get to see in books and in comics, and has always been sort of a shadowy foil for [Cortana creator Catherine] Halsey\u2026 It lets us sort of dig into that in a way that we don\u2019t actually experience in the games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then we also introduce a character named Corporal Perez, played by Cristina Rodlo \u2013 who we see early in Episode One is a Marine \u2013 getting back to that Marine perspective and, again, how terrifying it is to see an Elite or Sangheili for the first time and encounter them in battle. There\u2019s, there\u2019s sort of a horror aspect to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It all adds up to make Season 2 of <em>Halo The Series <\/em>a very exciting prospect \u2013 a storyline that helps push forward an intriguing tale for those already invested in the show, and a new reflection of events from the games already firmly in the hearts of millions of Halo fans.
