The sci-fi bubble seems to have burst for at least one majorstreaming service– the home of Star Trek, Paramount+, has cancelled one of its major genre shows.
It has announced that, after just two seasons,Halowill not be returning to the platform.
The show is based on the hugely successful first-person shooters from Xbox and was thought to have been getting into its stride more in recent times. The second season even rated90% on Rotten Tomatoeswith the critics.
However, it clearly didn’t capture enough of an audience for the streamer’s liking, and so will not continue on Paramount+.
“We wish everyone the best going forward.”

“Sad to seeHalocancelled,” wroteZerOe on X.
“I liked it. Not as good as other adaptations likeFallout,The Last of Usor[Cyberpunk] Edgerunners, but I still liked it.”
Some others believe it deviated too much from the games,though, so weren’t taken as much bu surprise.
“I’m not surprised to see theHaloTV series cancelled, it got better in S2 but failed to capture what made Halo great,” claimedParris on X.
“It wasn’t trueHalo,” postedRaquayza19.
“When you have source material available you should adapt that first while adding some extra padding to scenes that work.”
Those who are sorry to see it go could have some respite, however. The shows producers are allegedly looking for a new streaming home for the a third season – with Paramount’s blessing.
Haloseason 2 debuted on Paramount+ in February this year. You will still be able to watch its eight episodes, plus the nine episodes of season 1 for the foreseeable future.
Paramount+ is available across pretty much everystreaming device, mobile phone, tablet and Smart TV in the UK and US.
