Halo Cancelled At Paramount+ After Two Seasons, Producers Looking For A New Home

Halo has gotten the axe. The Paramount+ show, which ran for two seasons, was based on the video game series of the same name, which is set in the 26th century and follows humanity’s battle against an alliance of aliens known as the Covenant. The vast ensemble cast of the show included Pablo Schreiber, Shabana Azmi, Natasha Culzac, Charlie Murphy, and Bokeem Woodbine. While season 2 was renewed before the show even premiered, no word on Halo season 3 came in the wake of the second season’s run between February and March 2024.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount+ has cancelled Halo after season 2 and producers are on the hunt for a new home for a possible season 3. Read the streamer’s statement below:

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.

More to come…
