Based on the popular video games, the “Halo” series premiered on Paramount+ back in 2022, with the second season arriving earlier this year. But Season 2 will be the show’s final season, we’ve learned tonight. Paramount+ has officially cancelled the series after two seasons.
The series is currently being shopped elsewhere, reportedly with approval from Paramount+.
Paramount+ said in a statement tonight, “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.”
“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,” a statement from 343 Industries reads. “We are grateful to Amblin and Paramount for their partnership in bringing our expansive sci-fi universe to viewers around the world.”
Pablo Schreiber (“American Gods”) starred in the short-lived streaming series as Master Chief, a member of a group of super soldiers known as Spartans, with Jen Taylor reprising her role from the video game series as Master Chief’s AI companion, Cortana.
Produced by 343 Industries and Amblin Television, the series sees “an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant.”
