Where Does the Halo Show Go After the Fall of Reach?
Well, to Halo: Combat Evolved, presumably. And the, uh, Halo.
Although once again, the show is operating in its own version of Halo continuity, it wouldn’t be too surprising to see it operate on similar ground as the already established game continuity. The original Halo game opens with the Pillar of Autumn having made a random jump away from the devastation at Reach… and right into the path of the titular ringworld, ready to kick off the saga as we really know it. Whether the TV series does that—or perhaps even stretches things out in such a way that that becomes something to deal with in a potential third season—remains to be seen. But given that the show has got a lot of work to do to win over gamers and audiences unconvinced by the choices made in season one, tackling one of the most famous bits of Halo lore and then diving right into the classic games might be a smart option.
We’ll begin finding out just how it approaches everything when Halo season two begins streaming on Paramount+ February 8.
