Paramount Plus seriesHalo, which starred Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief, has been canceled after only two seasons.
In a statement, Paramount Plus said: “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.”
That might not be the end for the series, though, withThe Hollywood Reportersuggesting that a third season could be shopped to ‘another outlet’.
Cracks had been showing, however – both behind the scenes and with its audience. Star Pablo Schreiber had been outspoken on the first season’s missteps, particularly when it came to the relationship between John and Makee (Charlie Murphy).
Schreibertold SFX magazine, “The decision to make the connection between Makee and John a romantic connection was a huge mistake.”
