Halo seasons 1 and 2 find new home on Netflix after cancellation
The video game adaptation was scrapped by Paramount Plus last year.
Both seasons of the Halo TV series are now available to watch on Netflix – less than a year after the video game adaptation was cancelled by rival streaming service Paramount Plus.
Last year, Paramount announced that they would not be pressing ahead with a third season of the show, releasing a statement in which it said that it was "extremely proud of this ambitious series" and thanking the cast and crew for "all their outstanding work".
And although the two runs that did air are still available to view on that platform, they've now also found a new home in the UK and other assorted territories.
The first season of Halo aired in 2022 with a second following in February 2024, and showrunner David Wiener previously told Collider he hoped they got "the chance to make more" of the show in a third season, adding that "that's totally the intention".
At the time of its cancellation, there were reports that Halo video game developer 343 Industries would try to sell the series to another broadcaster or streamer – and it's not yet clear whether its addition to Netflix suggests the possibility of the streaming giant investing in further seasons.
Of course, it wouldn't be the first time Netflix has stepped in to save a previously cancelled series: the streamer has previously rescued a number of shows, including Lucifer and Top Boy – so we'll be keeping an eye out for any news on that front.
