Paramount+ original series “Halo” actor Joseph Morgan said that you don’t need to watch season 1 to enjoy season 2 which will be released today. He plays a new character, James Ackerson, who appears in season 2.

Joseph Morgan said Halo Season 2 is a good starting point for those who are new to the series. He explained that season 1 was a decent TV series, but season 2 is a new beginning. This change seems to be due to the change in the showrunner of the Halo series from season 2.

The Halo TV series has seen a lot of changes in project managers. Steven Spielberg was the first to lead the production of the Halo TV series. After a long delay, Kyle Killien took over as showrunner in 2018, but left before season 1 was finished. Steven Kane took over as showrunner, but he also left the project after season 1.

David Wiener, who is the new showrunner from season 2, seems to have created season 2 that is somewhat disconnected from the first season. In particular, season 1 was full of conflicting and irrelevant storylines due to frequent showrunner changes. David Wiener and the creative team are expected to explore more developed and grounded storylines.

Wiener specifically said he would compromise between expectations of TV series and game fans. In the game, the main character, Master Chief, never shows his face. However, in the TV series, you can see Master Chief’s face almost every frame. The game hid Chief’s face because of the player's identification with the main character, but it also made the main character more mysterious.

Paramount+ original series Halo Season 2 will be released today on TVING (in the United States, it will be released tomorrow on Paramount+).
