Halo TV Series Cancelled After Two Seasons

After seven years in development and only two seasons, the Halo TV series’ run is over. Paramount+ has canceled the series after two seasons.

Via The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount+ confirmed the news with a statement thanking the cast and the creative team for their efforts on the show.

“We are extremely proud of this ambitious series and would like to thank our partners at Xbox, 343 Industries, and Amblin Television, along with showrunner and executive producer David Wiener, his fellow executive producers, the entire cast led by Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief and the amazing crew for all their outstanding work. We wish everyone the best going forward.”

The Halo video games rank among the most-popular first-person shooters of all-time, but the series lacked a lot of the spark that came from the original mythos. Season 1 even began to resemble The Mandalorian as Master Chief went rogue to protect Kwan Ha (Yerin Ha). There were also other departures from the Halo canon that did not sit will with fans.

Regardless, Halo Season 2 placed among the top 10 in Nielsen’s original streaming rankings with 1.8 billion minutes of viewing across five weeks in February and March. It just wasn’t enough to save the series.

According to THR, Amblin, Xbox, and 343 Industries will attempt to find a new streaming home for Halo, meaning a third season isn’t entirely impossible. But because Halo is an extremely expensive production, very few outlets will be afford to take it on even if there is interest from major streamers like Netflix or Prime Video.
