In season two, Master Chief John-117 leads his team of elite Spartans against the alien threat known as the Covenant.

With the galaxy on the brink, John embarks on a journey to find the key to humankind's salvation, or its extinction - the Halo. Led by showrunner and executive producer David Wiener (Brave New World), the series takes place in the universe that first debuted in 2001 with the launch of Xbox(R)'s first HALO game. Dramatizing an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant, HALO the series weaves deeply drawn personal stories with action, adventure, and a richly imagined vision of the future.

Rodlo is Talia Perez, a corporal specializing in linguistics for a UNSC Marine Corps communications unit and a relative recruit who has yet to see any real combat. Returning from season one, Laera (Fiona O'Shaughnessy) is Soren's confidant, wife and partner in crime. Soren and Laera's son, Kessler (Tylan Bailey), has had a relatively peaceful, if unusual, childhood growing up on the Rubble. HALO is produced by SHOWTIME(R) in association with 343 Industries and Amblin Television. The second season of HALO is executive produced by David Wiener alongside Steven Spielberg, Darryl Frank, and Justin Falvey for Amblin Television.

Even though it was announced a second season, Star Trek: Prodigy will not be going forth with this season, but the title will be shopped to rival broadcasters and streamers. Source: Deadline

Paramount+ today announced that the second season of the adult animated series MIKE JUDGE'S BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD will premiere two episodes on the service Thursday, April 20 in the U.S. and Canada, and in Australia and the U.K. on Friday, April 21, with further international markets to follow. In the second season of MIKE JUDGE'S BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD, Beavis and Butt-Head triumphantly return as two guys who like things that are cool and don't like things that suck. Created and voiced by writer, producer, and director Mike Judge, the characters of Beavis and Butt-Head originated in Judge's 1992 short film "Frog Baseball," which was broadcast by MTV's animation showcase "Liquid Television." After MTV commissioned a full series around the characters, "Beavis and Butt-Head" ran for seven seasons, from March 8, 1993, to Nov. 28, 1997. The series was revived in 2011 with an eighth season airing on MTV. During its initial run, "Beavis and Butt-Head" received widespread critical acclaim for its satirical, scathing commentary on society. The show's popularity spawned various related media, including the theatrical film "Beavis and Butt-Head Do America" in 1996. MIKE JUDGE'S BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD is executive-produced by Mike Judge, Lew Morton and Michael Rotenberg, and Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Ben Kalina, and Antonio Canobbio for Titmouse. Paramount+ also hosts the critically acclaimed Paramount+ original film BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD DO THE UNIVERSE, the 1996 classic movie "Beavis and Butt-Head Do America," as well as remastered versions of the classic series.

Leading up to the final season, Paramount+ will honor STAR TREK: DISCOVERY's legacy and groundbreaking storytelling over its last four seasons with year-long celebrations and appearances at key events in markets around the world. Executive producers and co-showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise shared: "As lifelong fans of 'Star Trek,' it has been an immense honor and privilege to help bring STAR TREK: DISCOVERY to the world. The 'Trek' universe means so much to so many - including us - and we couldn't be prouder of everything DISCOVERY has contributed to its legacy, particularly with representation. If just one person sees themselves, or the possibilities for their future, in a new way because of DISCOVERY, then we think we'd have made Gene Roddenberry very proud. The fifth and final season will find Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery uncovering a mystery that will send them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries. But there are others on the hunt as well ... dangerous foes who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing to get it.

In the remaining STAR TREK: PRODIGY season one episodes, as the hopeful crew makes their way toward Starfleet, their dreams are threatened when they discover the U.S.S. Protostar harbors a weapon designed to tear the United Federation of Planets apart. To make matters worse, the U.S.S. Dauntless is on a manhunt for the Protostar as the real Vice Admiral Janeway is eager to uncover what happened to her missing former First Officer Chakotay. With these two ships on a collision course and destruction on the horizon, the fate of the Alpha Quadrant hangs in the balance.

Paramount+ today debuted a teaser trailer for season five of its hit original series STAR TREK: DISCOVERY at today's "Star Trek" universe panel at New York Comic Con. The new teaser, which was introduced by series star Sonequa Martin-Green, who joined the panel virtually from set in Michael Burnham's captain's chair, unveils a first look at Rayner, played Callum Keith Rennie ("The Umbrella Academy," "Jessica Jones"), along with Moll and L'ak, played by Eve Harlow ("The 100," "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.") and Elias Toufexis ("Shadowhunters," "Blood of Zeus"). Callum Keith Rennie joins the cast in a series regular role as Rayner. Rayner is a gruff, smart Starfleet Captain who holds a clear line between commander and crew - he leads, they follow. Rayner's all about the mission, whatever it may be, and he doesn't do niceties along the way; his feeling is, you get the job done and apologize later. He has a storied track record of wartime success, but in times of peace he struggles. Collaboration is not his strong suit. That said, if it serves the greater good he's willing to learn ... but it won't be easy. Moll is a former courier turned outlaw, who is highly intelligent and dangerous, with an impressive strategic mind and a sharp wit. She goes into every situation with a clear plan and stays focused and clear-headed on her goal, even when things go awry. She's not intimidated by Captain Burnham or the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery, and will face down anyone who stands in her way in order to get what she wants. L'ak is a former courier turned outlaw, who is tough, impulsive and fiercely protective of his beloved partner, Moll. So long as he knows she's safe, he doesn't care about collateral damage or its consequences - a perspective that makes him very dangerous at times and will put him on the opposite side of Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery when they come into conflict. This year's STAR TREK: DISCOVERY panel at New York Comic Con featured series cast members Anthony Rapp and Wilson Cruz and executive producers Michelle Paradise, Alex Kurtzman and Rod Roddenberry. Also joining the panel was series star Sonequa Martin-Green, who beamed in virtually from the season five set of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY. Josh Horowitz, MTV host and host of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, served as the panel moderator. In season five, Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery uncover a mystery that sends them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries. But there are others on the hunt as well ... dangerous foes who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing to get it. STAR TREK: DISCOVERY season five cast members include Sonequa Martin-Green (Captain Michael Burnham), Doug Jones (Saru), Anthony Rapp (Paul Stamets), Mary Wiseman (Sylvia Tilly), Wilson Cruz (Dr. Hugh Culber), David Ajala (Cleveland "Book" Booker) and Blu del Barrio (Adira).
