No Season 3 for the video game-based drama.
July 18, 2024
Word is out that Halo has been cancelled by Paramount+ after two seasons. The news comes four months after the video game-based drama wrapped its 8-episode sophomore run on the streaming 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," Paramount+ said in a statement. "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," added 343 Industries. "We are grateful to Amblin and Paramount for their partnership in bringing our expansive sci-fi universe to viewers around the world."
In Halo, there is a war for the survival of humanity in the 26th century, with humans warring against an alien threat called the Covenant. Master Chief is mankind's best weapon against the invaders, as he was trained for the single purpose of winning this very war.

Just 2 shows left to cancel (Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness) and paramount+ will have completed it's apparent mission to destroy itself.

@Sonja 100%! Well said! And also agree with Trevor. It never seemed like the Halo game fans liked the show all that much, so it was a little surprising it got a second season. I guess the curiousity numbers were good enough to get the second season, but that’s as far as it goes.

Sorry for my double/triple posrtoo, when I said "woke" I meant to say "woke complainers"
Those who complain that a show "is too woke" don't know a good show from a bad show from a whole in the ground (or their own assholes from a hole in the gound, IF they can even find that particular hole with both hands and a map!) I don't even think they know what "woke" means, Hell, I DON'T even know what "woke" means other than it means that I was just disturbed from my nap!!!

Like I said, my Wife and I were really diggin the show. There may be too many "video game" movie/show adaptations coming out and sure many suck a-- but Halo was doing pretty well. Pablo, I'm sorry I forget his last name, was doing really good with the Master Chief character. Kate Kennedy's character was coming along pretty well, and hell she was a looker too!! hehe.
I was excited to see where the development of the other two team members would go. That type of Spec Ops team dynamic is pretty intnese. I personaly don't have Spec Ops experience, in my MOS we manly supported them iff al hell broke loose and they had to boogie on back across the lines while we were the mean assed heavily armored and armed wall that stopped anyone pursuing!
But my Baby Brother, yeah, he has 17 years Spec Ops, hates "hollywooded up" movies and show portrayals of Spec Ops. There are damn few good movies/shows that show the true side.
From a SciFi point of View Halo was doing well. Suuuure, there were some scattered plots, The gal from the mining lanet and her story line was a bit slow.
The doc who created the spartan program, while the actor was doing well inj the role, the plot development was weak as far as she was concerned and the spartan program. Could have used longer seasons or more writing diving into the topic.
As for the one human in the Covenant, again, I'm sorry I forget the names again (old age sucks) that plot line was tricky, I THINK they (writers) were getting around to devloping it, but again, more shows, seasons were needed to explain some sutff.
I've never big a big "follower" of the Halo franchise, I'm not a "gamer" per se, I grew up before the age of Nintendo, hell, Atari was just becoming the latest and greates! Or even ColecoVision!!! but we did enjoying playing some "Kill Kill" with the X-Box during our down time at night. well, until COD came out, hehe.
But one TV, four firefighters, lot's of screen-watching cheating going on!! ;-)

Not surprising. I'm a gamer and thus spend a lot of time in gaming-related circles, and while I don't have my ear to the ground for Halo specifically, the general consensus from what I was hearing was that gamers thought the show was *really* bad. If you can't get the target audience on board, you're screwed.
I'm actually kind of surprised that it got a second season given the level of vitriol Halo fans seemed to have for it from day one.

Sorry for the double post but I agree with you Sonja. Even though I just said it, we really should stop conplaining about shows being “woke”. I forget how silly it makes me sound sometimes. It’s 2024 after all!
Hopefully we get a Halo spin-off movie out of this.

The show rejected halo to go with some agenda . wokism puts agenda over plot , or good writing. In halo are they fighting fellow Marines? . So garbage dies when they reject the source material

Maaaaan, that bites! We were really diggin the show.
All the "woke" are morons in their own right and wouldn't know a good OR bad show if it bit them on the ass.
We would play Halo on our down time in the evening at the fire station.

And I love woke stuff, but this show just wasn’t for me. I didn’t love the CGI most of all.

Season one was woke garbage focusing on girls and a wuss of a master chief. Season two started to improve but was still woke. Not sure which of the insufferable females that Jasmine who commented above is ranting about- if its the obnoxious Kwan I agree with you. At least now its cancelled we do not have to suffer through the cast of strong females and wimpy dudes anymore. The war for Reach city was a failed opportunity, disappointing all round.
