Halo is based on the world-famous Xbox video game – a futuristic and action-packed shooter in which the last of the Spartans, John-117 (better known as Master Chief), takes on a sinister alien race known as the Covenant.

Orange is the New Black star Pablo Schreiber takes on the role in the live-action adaptation, with the supporting cast including Natascha McElhone (The Crown) as Dr Catherine Elizabeth Halsey and Bokeem Woodbine (Fargo) as Soren-066.

Although season 2 has received mixed reviews so far, the show is still likely to win over some fans, with a new showrunner at the helm and some dramatic storylines to come.

In an interview with RadioTimes.com, Schreiber teased a "tragic event" that occurs at the midway point of this latest run, which is "gonna take a lot to recover from".
