Paramount has announced the cancellation of its live-action Halo TV series after just two seasons. Despite initial anticipation, the show struggled to maintain strong viewership and received mixed reviews.
The decision to cancel comes shortly after the premiere of the second season in February. According to Deadline, production partners Amblin Television, Xbox, and 343 Industries are actively seeking a new platform to continue the series. However, as of now, the series will not see a third season.
Statements from Paramount and 343 Industries
A spokesperson for Paramount stated, “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 expressed gratitude towards the fans, saying, “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.”
The Halo TV series faced numerous challenges since its inception. Initially developed as a TV show at Xbox, it stalled for years and was later revived by Paramount+ to boost original content for its new streaming platform.
