Originally set to release in 2021, Paramount+'s Halo TV show won't be around until March 24, 2022. But, while audiences haven't had a chance to watch the live-action adaptation of Microsoft's best-selling shooter franchise yet, the studio has already doubled down on its investment and ordered a second season. Furthermore, Halo's follow-up season might be here sooner than expected.
According to Pablo Schreiber, who plays the role of Spartans leader, Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, Halo season 2 will start production this summer.
In an interview with Collider ahead of the series premiere on Paramount+, the American Gods alum confirmed that production will start as soon as this summer due to "weather-related" issues.
Schreiber's confirmation is good news for those who are worried that Halo Season 2 might take a while. The first season of Halo didn't exactly go smooth sailing with both Kyle Killen and Steven Kane eventually leaving once production ended. At the moment, David Wiener is serving as the show's showrunner and executive producer, with the news of production rolling soon suggesting that things are going well ever since he hopped on to the project. On the other hand, Paramount could just be rushing Season 2, which doesn't bode well for its quality.
