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?
I can’t believe this drama has been axed,. when so many inferior programmes are still being shown. Come on ITV get your act together! and give us the dramas we want.
Please save this lovely show. It is rare to find a well written/acted period drama and I hope another network will pick it up.
CANCELLED??!!! Please cancel ITV instead. Geez!
Just watching this this month across the pond in these Colonies.
Trust someone smarter picks it up.
I really enjoyed Halcyon and am disappointed to learn it has been cancelled. Don’t understand how some shows without good writing can seem to continue on forever and a quality show like this is over before it gets a chance.
I absolutely loved the Halcyon Would love to have a Season 2. I hope Season 2 can be saved. On par with Poldark, Downton Abbey, Home Fires, A Place to Call Home, Mercy Street, etc.
Absolutely hooked on Halcyon. Great acting superb sets wonderful writing. Terrible shame if it’s cancelled. Please renew
I was hooked after the first 30 minutes of watching The Halcyon. Love this show. I believe it is an excellent cure for Downton Abbey withdrawal. Please find a way to save this show.
Great Show
I have just now discovered “The Halcyon” and love love love it! What a crying shame there is no season 2!!! Somebody should pick up this ball and run with it!
We watched yet another great series go.. The Halcyon was so good left us in the mist of????. That’s how annoying it is for good TV viewers. Great programs replaced by crap realty TV. Watching TV from great actors and good stories.. Not today.. Such was it with Home Fires… Another ITV stuff up with good programming. You obously like to keep the young ones happy.. Shame Shame from Australia…..
Fabulous series horrified that it is cancelled! I want to know what happens to the characters and their relationships! Hopefully series 2 will return to our screens soon!
