Paramount has cancelled the science fiction drama series Halo on Paramount+ and available on MultiChoice's Showmax in Africa after just two seasons.
Halo which took years to bring to television was based on the hugely popular Xbox franchise and starred Pablo Schreiber as main character Master Chief John-117.
"Paramount+ can confirm that Halo will not move forward with a third season on the service," Paramount says in a statement.
"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," Paramount says in a statement.
"We wish everyone the best going forward."
343 Industries which will look to sell the series and a third season elsewhere, in a statement says "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".
"We are grateful to Amblin and Paramount for their partnership in bringing our expansive sci-fi universe to viewers around the world."
