The Latest Update On ‘Halo’ Season 3 After Its Netflix Arrival

One of Paramount+’s biggest, most expensive shows in its short history is Halo, the adaptation (I use that word loosely) of the famed video game series that ran from 2022-2024 before it was cancelled after season 2, with no season 3 greenlit.

Now, Halo has hit Netflix and is performing decently well, hanging out around #4 on Netflix’s top 10 list behind only three big original shows, Monster: The Ed Gein Story, Love is Blind and Wayward. It’s the highest-ranking licensed series on the list.

Some are wondering if Halo heading to Netflix means that the larger service could potentially pick the show up for season 3. As crazy as that sounds, I think we need to flash back to 2024 when the cancelation first went down.

After the series was cancelled, there was a lot of well-wishing among those involved, including from 343, the current maker of Halo games for Microsoft (via THR):

“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,” said 343 Industries. “We are grateful to Amblin and Paramount for their partnership in bringing our expansive sci-fi universe to viewers around the world.”

However, in the same breath as the show being cancelled, reporting indicated that Amblin, Xbox and 343 were looking to take the series for a third season at another outlet, and Paramount+ was supportive of that move. So, here we are. Halo is on Netflix, it’s doing well and—

Well, hold on.
