According to an article on TIME.com, season 2 of Hunt theTruth starts tomorrow, 9-22-15!<\/p>\n

The following is a reblog of that article:<\/p>\n

In a series of podcasts, the mythology of the Halo universe was thrown into tumult. What will happen next?<\/h2>\n
\n

It\u2019s strange days in Microsoft\u2019s Halo<\/em> universe. Uncomfortable mysteries abound as Halo 5: Guardians<\/em> nears. The series\u2019 hulking Master Chief\u2014savior of 26th century humanity\u2014is inexplicably AWOL. Super-soldiers hunt super-soldiers. Ghastly revelations threaten cherished mythologies. Unrest looms.<\/p>\n

This spring, in a series of podcasts dubbed Hunt the Truth<\/em>, the mythology of the Halo<\/em> universe was thrown into tumult. Loosely modeled after radio dramas like This American Life, <\/em>the program explored, and called into question, the franchise\u2019s de facto narrative of a noble government forging genetically augmented superhumans to save the world from theocratic aliens. (The program also recalls 2004\u2019s Halo 2<\/em>-related I Love Bees<\/a> campaign.) Listeners loved it: Hunt the Truth<\/em>, which just won a Clio<\/a>, wound up drawing an audience of over 6.7 million, putting it in the top 1% of all iTunes podcasts.<\/p>\n

At the outset, fictional war journalist Benjamin Giraud begins work on a rhapsodic profile of Master Chief, only to discover cracks in his sources that only widen. By the end of season one, Ben has flipped, his military hagiography become a salvo aimed at the heart of Halo<\/em>\u2018s Office of Naval Intelligence, the shady black ops and propaganda group that commissioned him to write the puff piece in the first place.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a tale that feels parsecs from the gung-ho, boo-rah tone of the shooter that debuted on Microsoft\u2019s original Xbox over a decade ago. And yet the story ended ambiguously, leaving fans to speculate about the impact of Ben\u2019s actions. Where was he now? What of his revelations? What would insurrectionist leader FERO, who\u2019d helped Ben from the shadows, do next? Who was<\/em> FERO, anyway? And how did any of this tie into Halo 5<\/em>, which arrives on October 27?<\/p>\n

(Seriously, it\u2019s captivating stuff Halo<\/em> aficionados should not miss.)<\/p>\n

Answers to the questions above are coming in Hunt the Truth<\/em>\u2018s second season, which debuts September 22 on the series\u2019 official Tumblr page<\/a>. Halo<\/em> franchise development director Frank O\u2019Connor, Hunt the Truth<\/em> creative director Noah Eichen and season two lead Janina Gavankar (True Blood<\/em>, Far Cry 4<\/em>, The Mysteries of Laura<\/em>) shared exclusive details about Hunt the Truth<\/em> season two with TIME, and it starts with the following audio clip:<\/p>\n
