The Halcyon is closing its doors. RadioTimes reports ITV has cancelled the TV series after one season.
The period drama follows the staff and residents of a London hotel during World War II. The cast includes Steven Mackintosh, Olivia Williams, Hermione Corfield, and Matt Ryan.
Even though ITV has cancelled The Halcyon, the series’ showrunners are reportedly looking to other networks to pick up the WWII drama, which ended its first season on a massive cliffhanger. However, producer Chris Croucher told RadioTimes there isn’t a lot of time left to save the show:
Andy Harries, [CEO] at Left Bank hopes that there might be somewhere else that we could go. Nothing is confirmed at the moment. I believe he is trying.
It’s difficult with timeframes, because actually our option period on the actors is about to run out, and we have our beautiful hotel standing in West London, and every week that’s costing us and that adds up.
So I think a decision would need to be made very quickly.”
What do you think? Have you seen The Halycon? Do you want a second season?
Bring back The Halcyon
Bring back Home Fires
Bring back Jericho (2016 TV series)
Bring back Brief Encounters
Bring back Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands
Please please please make another season! We loved it and have left us wanting more!
If nothing else, use the cast to bring the show to a proper finish by making a movie to close it out.
I do hope that the Halcyon will continue because it is a very interesting series that keeps you glued to your TV. It is a very good production which I hope I will have the pleasure of watching again and again.
I enjoyed the series and purchased it on DVD. I certainly do hope that the series will be renewed! Thank you.
How sad! Was really looking forward for season 2 to start!!! Such a lovely story. How will it end? Hope a solution is found as many, many people were waiting to see what happened next!!
I was looking to se the the rest of the program please bring it back
I’m French woman and I’m completly crazy about this serie, I am very disappoint that it is not renewed for season 2. I hope they change their minds, this serie was very interesting !

How can you not have series two, for the best period drama ever, even the young members of the family were intrigued by the storyline.Brilliant fitting cast, acted out perfectly.Series two, please, please., please.

Everybody sign up and get all your friends and all your families to join in.
Will someone please write a letter to Left Bank Pictures and beg them to find another network for The Halcyon?
Thought it was quite good better than some they rave about and turn out a load of rubbish I liked it !!!
Wonderful first season! It’s got everything it needs to run for the duration of the war. Please don’t abandon this remarkable gem.
I really enjoyed watching this programme, gutted that seson two is not happening.
You bet I want a second season. Try Netflix or Amazon Video. One of them could save The Halcyon. Or move it to BBC One.
Whoever gave me a thumb down must’ve misread my comment.
Come on, BBC One or Netflix or Amazon Video!
Pick The Halcyon up for it’s second season, please.
I mean, Amazon Prime.
Halcyon is wonderful to watch, it should be picked up for a second season.
Absolutely looking forward to a second series after the promising first series : or at least a tv film to answer some of the cliff hanging questions left some of us ardent fans wanting more , a series is too much to ask .
