Halo Canceled by Paramount+ After Two Seasons

Master Chief’s fight is over. Today, Paramount+ announced that it has canceled Halo after only two seasons.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Paramount+ said: “We are incredibly proud of this ambitious series and would like to thank our partners Xbox, 343 Industries and Amblin Television, as well as showrunner and executive producer David Wiener, his fellow executive producers, the entire cast led by Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief and the incredible crew for all their exceptional work. We wish everyone the best in the future.“However, the battle may not be entirely over, as Amblin Television, Xbox and 343 Industries are reportedly in the process of selling the series to other buyers.

“We deeply thank the millions of fans who have propelled the Halo series is a global success, and we remain committed to expanding the Halo the universe in different ways in the future,” can be read in a press release from 343 Industries.”We are grateful to Amblin and Paramount for their partnership in bringing our vast science fiction universe to viewers around the world.“

The series stars Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief, with the rest of the cast including Natascha McElhone, Jen Taylor, Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Natasha Culzac, Olive Gray, Yerin Ha, Bentley Kalu, Kate Kennedy, Charlie Murphy, and Danny Sapani. The series has received its fair share of criticism, with the frequent scenes of Master Chief without his helmet coming under fire, but the second season was considered an improvement over the first.

Considering the time it took to get Halo on takeoff, this cancellation is a disgrace. Years have been spent developing a Halo The film was shot before the decision to move to a television series was made. After a few more years of development, Showtime gave the series an official order in 2018, only to have it move to Paramount+ a few years later. Halo was a huge success from the moment it first aired, setting a record as the service’s most-watched series premiere globally in its first 24 hours.
