The live-action Halo show has been canceled at Paramount+

Many moons ago, back in 2013, we that Hollywood royalty Steven Spielberg had teamed up with Microsoft to create a live-action Halo television series. It took about ten years for the vision to finally come to fruition, but the show has now been canceled by the Paramount+ streaming service after a mere seventeen episodes. The first season in 2022 and the second earlier this year. We had about the show’s debut, but it’s still a sad conclusion for the big-budget project.

According to an unnamed source, the show creators plan to shop the project around and search for a new home for the chronicles of Master Chief and Cortana. “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,” 343 Industries said. “We are grateful to Amblin and Paramount for their partnership in bringing our expansive sci-fi universe to viewers around the world.”

This is the latest hurdle for fans of the UNSC to get more Halo action. Not only is the TV show gone, but last year’s rounds of layoffs at Microsoft didn’t leave 343 Industries unscathed. The studio reportedly had to of the series’ next chapter, and we haven’t heard much about the games since.
