Starring Henry Cavill as the series’ titular brooding character Geralt of Rivia, the show has continued to receive positive reviews for its gritty and nail-biting storylines, fantastic acting, and a soundtrack that will play in your head on a loop ('Toss A Coin To Your Witcher' is still stuck in our heads to this very day). The Witcher (2019-): With Season 2 now released in its entirety on Netflix, The Witcher fever is running pretty high right now. Taylor has voiced the character for the games since the first game Halo: Combat Evolved in 2001 up until the most recently released game Halo: Infinite in 2021. As a treat for game fans, if you didn’t recognize the signature voice, we love that Cortana, Master Chief’s AI partner in the war against the Covenant (in the video games) is being voiced by Jen Taylor. It is likely from what we have seen so far that this will be a similar theme in the show, however, we don’t want to speculate too much as we know the show will be taking a leap away from the game itself.

The Covenant, an alien race, is also a big part of the Halo games and are the threat we see in the trailer. From the trailer (and confirmed by the cast list) it appears that much like the games we also have the United Nations Space Command, who work on behalf of the human race to colonize planets and use genetically engineered “Spartans” (a group which Master Chief leads) to protect humanity. Halo is set to follow the story of supersoldier Master Chief, the main character from all the Halo games. The settings, weapons, and themes all fall in line with the game’s style. The aesthetic of the games is certainly shown in the trailer which you can watch below.
