Synopsis

Halo: The Fall of Reach (2015), Season 1 is an animated prequel you can watch online on iFILM — three short acts that trace where the Master Chief legend actually begins. It adapts Eric Nylund's novel.

The season is about the birth of the Spartan-II program. Dr. Halsey pulls gifted children out of their lives and rebuilds them into super-soldiers, long before anyone counts the cost. We follow John-117 from a frightened recruit to the fighter humanity will end up leaning on. First the Spartans put down an insurrection inside the colonies. Then the Covenant strikes, and the war stops being a drill.

Across all three episodes the story lays the groundwork for the whole franchise — useful if you reached Halo without ever holding a controller. Stream Halo: The Fall of Reach Season 1 online on iFILM.
