The first trailer for Paramount+' upcoming Halo series premiered at The Game Awards on Thursday, giving us our first good look at the much anticipated show. Considering how beloved its source material is, the series has a lot to live up to.

Based on the classic sci-fi video game franchise of the same name, Halo will follow the United Nations Space Command's war against the Covenant — an alliance of alien races that consider humanity to be an affront to god. Which, fair.

The 10-episode series will star Pablo Schreiber as Spartan supersoldier Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 — the famous protagonist of the Halo game series. He won't be alone though. Jen Taylor will also lend her voice for the futuristic AI assistant Cortana, reprising her role from the popular first-person shooters, while Natascha McElhone will play UNSC scientist Dr. Catherine Halsey.

Halo will land on Paramount+ in 2022.
