Halo season 2: release date and cast of video game adaptation - how many episodes in Paramount+ series?

The first season took place on the planet Madrigal in the year 2552 where humans were fighting for independence from Earth when a faction of aliens known as the Covenant massacred almost every being on the planet.

In season two Master Chief John-117 leads his team of elite Spartans against the Covenant. The arrival of Col. James Ackerson breeds conflict as he soon clashes with Master Chief. 

The sci-fi series, which debuted on Paramount+ in 2022, is based on the Bungie video game series which was created in 2001. Six Halo games have been released so far and the franchise has grossed more than $6 billion worldwide, making it one of the most successful video game series of all time.
