About the Halo TV Show
Like the games, the Halo TV Show will follow a 26th-century conflict between the United Nations Space Command and the advanced alien race known as the Covenant. Pablo Schrieber will play Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, best known to gamers simply as Master Chief, a super-soldier with an important role to play in the conflict.
Interestingly, the series will not take place in the same continuity as the games. Instead, it will be set in a parallel Silver Timeline. You'll have to put down the pitchfork when you notice that a plot detail from Halo Wars 2 hasn't been faithfully adapted.
To watch the show legally in Australia, you're going to need the streaming service Paramount Plus. You can grab a free 7-day trial below.
