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. Love the characters and the storyline. One of the more decent shows to peek our interests.
The Halcyon is an excellent series. I will be very sorry to see it cancelled. It’s as good as anything on Masterpiece Theatre!
Great show. Bring it back!
Very good show. One of the better period pieces
Hope someone picks Halcyon up for second season
Please bring the Halcyon back for another year. My wife and I love the series, We want more.
Tremendous disappointment that this series will not continue . One of the best TV series ever; on par with Downton Abbey, maybe even better. Too bad PBS isn’t carrying it as Masterpiece Theater; so many people do not have access to Ovation.
I just discovered this series and am very disappointed to discover it is to be cancelled. I would love to see more of the story.
I loved the show and I really hope it returns
My family enjoyed the show very much. It is not only entertaining, but also a history lesson on England, during WWII. I sincerely hope it can find a new home for season 2. It would be ashamed to lose a good quality show, with so much junk on TV these days.
Love this show . I hope somebody picks it up. The story has so many possibilities.
Love this time period show. I can’t believe it’s been canceled. Please reconsider.
Love this show. Please bring it back!
Please give us a season 2! I love this show it is wonderful! Why is it that good shows like this get cancelled but shows like The Real Housewives of somewhere seem to go on forever????
We love the show and hope that they find a way to bring it back.
I love The Halcyon! If you have worked in a hotel, it is wonderful! Please, somebody keep it alive!
