Halo: The Fall of Reach (Season 1)

Halo: The Fall of Reach (2015) is an animated series set in the Halo universe you can watch online on iFILM. It's the origin story of the Spartan-II program — how kidnapped children were forged into the deadliest soldiers humanity ever built, and how the most famous of them, John-117, became the Master Chief.

The story unfolds long before the first game. Selected by hidden genetic markers, the young recruits are pushed through brutal training and dangerous augmentations that remake their bodies into weapons. Then the real threat arrives: the Covenant, a fanatical alliance of alien species, declares a war of extermination against mankind, and the Spartans become Reach's last line of defense.

Adapting Eric Nylund's novel and assembled from three parts into one feature-length cut, the series leans hard into franchise lore. Steve Downes returns as the Chief and Jen Taylor voices Cortana — the same actors from the games, which matters a lot to longtime fans. This one is built for Halo players who want the backstory behind the helmet. Stream Halo: The Fall of Reach (2015) online on iFILM.
