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.”

Figures. Another wonderful series that actually incorporated some degree of historical perspective gets the boot.
While, of course, the standard dreck (Real Housewives of [insert city name], for exapmle) continues on ….
PLEASE find a new hime for this INCREDIBLE series!
Loved it. Disappointed it is cancelled.
Please, Please, Please renew the Halcyon for Season 2. I loved the first season and
can’t wait for the 2nd. This is a great show with a great cast!!!!!! Don’t let this show
go away. I was waiting all summer for the second season!!!!!! Someone please pick
this show up!
One of the best new shows in along time. Discusted that it isn’t renewed. I won’t watch anything on the Ovation Network as a result!
I love the show and would like very much to see the continuation to see the end of the story. I hope very much they find another network willing to broadcast it.
Disappointed! Loved the show.
Enjoyed Halcyon very much and would love to see the rest of the story.
Here’s a petition to sign up on.

Yes I would love to see a season 2
I loved Halcyon. Was looking forward to next season but not only have you disappointed as again starz, but you have left us with an incredible cliffhanger. It’s things like this that make your audiences bail out on you. I’m very disappointed
I agree I love the show, it shows togetherness and of how people overseas were during the war. We see Americans and how they dealt with the tragedy of the war but it was fought overseas and this series gave us both the war and how it was as live had to go on. Please don’t leave us hanging.
