Halo will not have a third season, at least not at Paramount+. The streaming service has cancelled the sci-fi series inspired by the popular Xbox video gaming franchise of the same name. Season two premiered in February, and the finale aired on March 21st.
Pablo Schreiber, Natascha McElhone, Jen Taylor, Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Natasha Culzac, Olive Gray, Yerin Ha, Bentley Kalu, Kate Kennedy, Charlie Murphy, Danny Sapani, Fiona O’Shaughnessy, Tylan Bailey, Joseph Morgan, Cristina Rodlo, and Christina Bennington, star in the series which follows how humankind battles an alien race during the 26th century.
Though the show’s been cancelled, Amblin Television, Xbox, and 343 Industries are currently shopping the series to other outlets in hopes of finding it a new home.
Paramount+ released the following statement about the series’ cancellation, per Deadline:
“We are extremely proud of this ambitious series and would like to thank our partners at Xbox, 343 Industries and Amblin Television, along with showrunner and executive producer David Wiener, his fellow executive producers, the entire cast led by Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief and the amazing crew for all their outstanding work. We wish everyone the best going forward.”
343 Industries also said the following, “We deeply appreciate the millions of fans who propelled the Halo series to be a global success and we remain committed to broadening the Halo universe in different ways in the future. We are grateful to Amblin and Paramount for their partnership in bringing our expansive sci-fi universe to viewers around the world.”
What do you think? Did you watch Halo? Are you hoping another outlet saves this cancelled series?
If they had kept true to the Halo game story, it would have pulled in a lot viewers instead of cutting out the huge fan base that made Halo(game) such a ginormous success. Another potentially great series thrown away by not following the wants of its fan base
Another good show cancelled and probably another rubbish show renewed .
Would love to see a season 3Great effects Great cast Great story
I loved the show. I’m not a gamer, but this was a great show. I wonder if a lot of people didn’t watch it because usually Game’s made into movies are no good, but I bet I’ve watched season 1 at least 3 times and Season 2 twice. They can’t let this just go. This is a big mistake to cancel this show.
Never played the game, but really liked the show. Would have liked to see another season.
I enjoyed both seasons, hope someone picks up season 3, but not holding my breath
Didn’t even know there was a season two!
Love the Halo show and
Yes I was looking forward to seeing more. I am sad and disappointed due to this news.
Please someone help “Halo” to continue!
Thank you for bringing it to life for my enjoyment!
Season 1 was great, lots of action and great storylines. Season 2 when to crap right from the get go and never recovered. So OK with this cancellation.
This infuriates me! We have loved watching this show and it so deserves a few more seasons!!!
Totally agree with Sharon. I was looking forward to watching more of this program.
Someone else please renew it. Or at least give it an ending.
If you want to know how it plays out you should play the games. The games are way better than this horrible show. The cancellation was deserved for how badly they massacred a perfectly good game franchise by making a lacklustre show.
I am totally not interested in Video games and never will be.
