Based on the popular video games, the “Halo” series is headed to Paramount+ on March 24, with a second season already ordered up before the first even premieres.

Watch the brand new “Halo” trailer below!

Produced by 343 Industries and Amblin Television, the series sees “an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant.”

“‘Halo’ takes us into a dazzling world that we believe will enthrall audiences as much with its electrifying visuals as its bold, character-driven storytelling,” said Showtime and Paramount Plus chief David Nevins in a statement. “This second-season pickup reflects the confidence we have in the power of this epic series to attract and engage viewers.”

Pablo Schreiber (“American Gods”) stars as Master Chief, a member of a group of supersoldiers known as Spartans, with Jen Taylor reprising her role from the video game series as Master Chief’s AI companion, Cortana. Danny Sapani (“Penny Dreadful”), Olive Gray (“Half Moon Investigations”) and Charlie Murphy (“Peaky Blinders”) also set as series regulars.

The cast also includes Natascha McElhone (Californication”), Emmy nominee Bokeem Woodbine (“Fargo”), Shabana Azmi (Fire), Bentley Kalu (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Natasha Culzac (“The Witcher”), Kate Kennedy (Catastrophe”) and Yerin Ha (Reef Break).

David Wiener (“Brave New World”) will show-run and executive produce “Halo” Season 2. Steven Kane was the showrunner for Season 1, but has stepped away from the series.
