Paramount+ announced today that it has canceled Xbox’s Halo TV show after its second season. The team behind the show is reportedly looking to shop the sci-fi adaption around to other places in an effort to continue the series.
On July 18, Paramount confirmed with The Hollywood Reporter that the Halo TV show will not receive a third season on its streaming platform. In March, the show—based on the popular Xbox video game franchise—ended its second season with fans hopeful that there was more to come following an uptick in quality. But that isn’t going to happen, or at least not at Paramount+.
“We are extremely proud of this ambitious series,” said Paramount+ in a statement confirming the news. “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.”
The Hollywood Reporter says that its sources have confirmed that Xbox, 343 Industries, and Amblin are all interested in continuing the live-action series somewhere else. It’s reported that Paramount is supportive of this plan.
“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,” said 343 Industries in a statement. “We are grateful to Amblin and Paramount for their partnership in bringing our expansive sci-fi universe to viewers around the world.”
While TV shows get canceled all the time, it is noteworthy that so many other video game TV shows and movies have succeeded in recent years—like Last of Us, Fallout, and The Super Mario Bros. movie. The Fallout TV show just received 16 Emmy nominations and is likely set to receive multiple seasons and spin-offs according to Amazon. But Halo couldn’t find that kind of audience, and is now stranded out in space waiting for someone to pick it up for another season.
