The first episode of Halo premieres on Paramount + tomorrow, March 24, and we have an exclusive clip from the series to share with you. Based on the hit video game franchise of the same name, the show puts its own spin on Master Chief's (Pablo Schreiber) story and takes place in the midst of a 26th-century war between the United Nations Space Command and the alien Covenant.
It's no secret that Halo will unmask Master Chief so we can finally learn more about the man beneath the iconic helmet, but plenty of characters from the games will also be featured.
Among them are Dr. Miranda Keyes (Olive Gray) and her mother, Dr. Catherine Halsey (Natascha McElhone). In this sneak peek, Miranda discusses her career in the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) with her father, Captain Jacob Keyes (Danny Sapani), and how she feels about being held back by her mom. Clearly, the two women have a less-than warm relationship.
We won't talk too much about how things play out in the Halo video games here for fear of spoilers, but this clip hints at Miranda and Elizabeth having a similarly intriguing dynamic in this small screen adaptation. Knowing what might lie ahead makes this a subplot we'll be keeping a close eye on, and both characters are likely to be pivotal to how Master Chief's story plays out in the show.
Watch the clip below and tune into Halo on Paramount+ when it premieres tomorrow. From there, additional episodes will follow every Thursday, while a second season has already been confirmed.
