Going into season 2, the creative team for Paramount+'s Halo series is listening to fan feedback - the good AND the bad.
Halo executive producer Kiki Wolfkill says the show’s creative team is listening to fan feedback going into season 2. After initially being announced in 2013 with Steven Spielberg attached, the Halo series endured a revolving door of creatives before premiering on Paramount+ earlier this year.
Outside of that brief synopsis, Paramount+’s Halo diverges from its beloved IP and takes place on what its creators refer to as the “Silver Timeline,” which was bound to ruffle some feathers. Before the series even debuted, the online discourse was prepared to take issue with the decision to show a lot of Master Chief , Cortana’s not-so-blue look, and a focus on weaker, less interesting characters.
"We’re still getting feedback. It’s interesting to me to see characters that are resonating or not. I will say, philosophically, [we are] absolutely looking at all of the feedback, good and bad, from each episode. And those are the things that will carry forward as learnings into season two, just like all of the learnings we had on season one [that] we get through the course of production, we’ll carry those forward. We will look at everything...
Wolfkill went on to talk about how “with the television series, we’re hoping to speak to Halo fans, but also speak to the people around them.” As is the case with many adaptations, creators and/or networks often try too hard to appeal to the masses that they betray what made the IP beloved in the first place. Paramount+’s Halo has made some missteps.
There’s an immense amount of pressure to do right by a 21-year-old gaming franchise many remember getting with their first Xbox in 2001—the same year Combat Evolved’s tie-in novel, The Fall of Reach, was released. Regarding proprieties like Halo, listening to fans should be a given because the show would not exist without them. Too often, established franchises are milked rather than enhanced, and Halo is in a position to build upon what came before.
