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?
Great show! Needs to be renewed.
Please return , it was a great show>
Bring back The Halcyon. We loved it! Downtown Abbey in a hotel. So good!
This is one of the best series out there, I can think of a lot of stupid shows that need to be cancelled…this was so well done…so many potential stories….Please bring it back or find another channel…I just watched the last episode and am hanging on the edge..wanting this to continue
I was a wonderful show. It should never have been cancelled. Please bring back a 2nd season. I have been waiting for it to return.
i loved it please continue remember a place to call home it was 1 season and ended up 5 seasons
Please bring The Halcyon back. One season was not enough. We were let into the lives of these people experiencing the horrors of WWII and how they wove together…. then left hanging and wanting more….
PLEASE find a way to bring The Halcyon back to TV. I am 82 yo, have virtually inhaled every moment of Season 1, recalling through each episode so much of the 6 years that truly bounded my life. Certainly the visual, but primarily the script, captured the political and “environmental” elements of life at the time: anti-Semitism was rampant not only in Germany but worldwide; the aristocracy latched onto facism as its hope for defeating communism and maintaining its class status; a real push for the rise of a strong middle class-etc. The word “Appeasement” still makes me sick to… Read more »
Please, please give us Season 2. I am so invested in the characters!
I did like this show, it was very interesting. I am sorry it was cancelled.
Please try to make a second season possible. We found it very engaging and would be disappointed if it does not contiue.
Please bring back The Halcyon. We need intelligent shows!
Please have a finishing of The Halcyon so we know what happens to all the characters in the show.
My husband found this show while channel surfing recently and recorded it for me. I have just watched all of the episodes and I must say this is a superb production. In a day where there are so many TV shows of no character and no story, it’s beyond my thinking that show has not been renewed. I have been searching the net to see if and when The Halcyon is going to be shown next and now I find it cancelled. That in itself is a very sad story indeed!
I would like to see more, even if just to see who survived the explosion. Overall I enjoyed the show, but would have liked to have seen a LOT less homosexual activity. I understand that was a key part of the plot, but maybe you could leave a lot more to the imagination.
All in all, I want to see the series continue. Very well done overall.
