Halo Season 2’s Flood Introduction & Future Ramifications Excitedly Explained By Star

Warning: SPOILERS lie ahead for Halo season 2, episode 8, “Halo”!

Halo season 2 star Joseph Morgan unveils how the horrific events of the finale’s Flood outbreak both pleased him as a fan and left him eager to see how the show explores its expansion. Paramount+’s adaptation of the hit video game franchise explores the exploits of Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber), a super soldier in the midst of an intergalactic war with the alien faction, the Covenant. The season finale, “Halo”, saw an ancient parasite called The Flood escape containment and spread across the ONI installation on Onyx, unleashing an all-consuming horror.

As Halo season 2 comes to a close, Morgan unveiled his excitement upon seeing the Flood brought to screen to Screen Rant. With his familiarity with the games, Morgan was eager to see the parasite adapted and act out the story, while also teasing their introduction will lead to major ramifications on the show’s future. Check out Morgan’s response below:

Oh, it was great. I mean, having played the games as well, I had an idea of what I was supposed to be imagining, and then the effects makeup that they did, the special effects makeup and stuff, was pretty intense and incredible. So yeah, it was really exciting. There’s a certain element of using your imagination, which is part of the job anyway, so you just have to more vividly imagine what’s happening.

But yeah, it was exciting, mostly as well, because I knew how much introducing that element would mean to the fandom of Halo, being one of those fans myself, how excited I was to read the script and go, “Oh, we’re doing the Flood? Oh my God, we’re doing the Flood!” [Chuckles]

So, being on set and being a part of that, I would’ve been devastated if I wasn’t in some way a part of that storyline as it starts to affect the characters… But now, I feel like, especially with the introduction of the Flood now, season 3 is going to be epic if we get to do that.

Developing…

Halo season 2 is available to watch in its entirety on Paramount+.
