Paramount+ has officially cancelled its divisive live-action Halo television series, with the recently broadcast second season set to be its last on the service.
Season 1 of Paramount+’s Halo series aired back in 2022, nearly a decade after the project was first announced. It launched to a mixed reception, however, drawing criticism for its writing, inconsistent tone, uneven plotting, and pacing. Halo fans also didn’t love the decision to show Master Chief’s face just episodes in, or the decision to show his bum after that. And by the time he was having sex in front of Cortana, even Halo’s co-creator admitted he was “confused”.
Despite these concerns, initial audience numbers were good, and Paramount+ made the decision to forge ahead with a second season, albeit this time under the watch of a new show runner. And improvements were promised: Master Chief actor Pablo Schreiber (who also wasn’t a fan of some of the first season’s more controversial choices) said there was “no question” Season 2 was “far stronger” ahead of its airing this February.
