Master Chief Urges Viewers To Give Halo Season 2 Another Chance
Pablo Schreiber, who portrays the role of Master Chief in the live-action TV Series, has urged the viewers of the show to give the show another chance, as it has been plagued with controversies and numerous problems before it even began in 2022. The ardent and loyal fans of Halo have been immensely critical of the show and questioned every decision of the show.
Though the series was well-received by a percentage of groups. During an interview with ComicBook, Pablo Schreiber urged the fans of the video game series to give the show another chance and notice the major difference between the two seasons.
“As far as what to say to gamers, come on back and see the differences between Season 1 and Season 2 and see if you like it… The show was incredibly well received internationally as well as domestically, but the numbers we did internationally for Paramount Plus are off the charts and insane… And now, it’s about creating the kind of show that we all can be the most proud of… I’m going to push that until I die or until I’m asked to leave. I want to make the best show possible, and I want to try to surround myself with people that are helping do that.”
Nevertheless, Halo fans of the video game are not too delighted with the idea of watching Master Chief with his iconic helmet. Hence, they decided to troll the show for removing Master Chief for removing his helmet.
Halo Season 2 can be streamed on Paramount+ from 8th February 2024.
