News has broke that the live-action Halo TV Series has been canceled at Paramount+. The television series based on the iconic video game franchise on Xbox, Halo, aired two seasons on the streaming service. Season 1 debuted in 2022 with the second season having released earlier this year.
Paramount put out a statement regarding the announcement:
“Paramount+ can confirm that ‘Halo’ will not move forward with a third season on the service.
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.”
It is reported that Xbox, 343 Industries, and Amblin TV are going to shop the series to other streaming outlets for a third season. The hope for future seasons of Halo is still there, but it will be elsewhere.
Pablo Schreiber starred in the TV Series as Master Chief also known as John-117. A lot of viewers of the series weren’t entirely happy with the actor’s portrayal of the iconic Spartan with taking his helmet off consistently among other things.
Could Xbox and 343 Industries look to bring Halo to Prime Video? After the success of the Fallout TV Series on Prime, this might be something to consider to revive the Halo Series.
