new trailer for the long-anticipated Halo series, based on Microsoft’s popular line of video games, books, and comics, premiered during half time of the AFC Championship last week. The series will take place in a separate continuity from the core canon, and follow Spartan super soldier John-117, otherwise known as Master Chief, played by Pablo Schreiber, in the war against the alien Covenant and the race to find the planet-destroying superweapon known as Halo.
The trailer offers some big clues as to what the show has in store for both old and new Halo fans.
