Halo Season 3: Latest update on renewal status and everything we know so far
If you're a Halo fan, you're probably on the edge of your seat wondering about Season 3 of the Paramount+ series. The show, which brings the legendary video game universe to life, has had its share of ups and downs, but it's left us all craving more of Master Chief's adventures. So, what's the deal with Halo Season 3? Is it happening, or are we stuck in a cliffhanger limbo? Here's everything we know so far. The Current State of Halo Season 3
As of July 2025, Halo Season 3 is still up in the air. Paramount+ pulled the plug on the series in July 2024 after two seasons, leaving fans stunned, especially after that jaw-dropping Season 2 finale. The cancellation wasn't entirely out of left field—word on the street (or rather, industry reports) suggests the show's massive budget, rumored to be around $200 million for Season 1 alone, was a tough pill for Paramount+ to swallow. Add to that some rocky fan feedback, and the streamer decided to call it quits.
But here's the good news: the Halo team isn't giving up. The show's producers, backed by Xbox, 343 Industries, and Amblin Television, are pitching the series to other platforms. Netflix is the big name in the mix, especially since Halo Season 1 landed on their platform in March 2025 and shot up to the fourth most-watched English-language series globally, racking up 4.2 million views and 32.1 million hours watched in its first week. That kind of buzz has fans hopeful that Netflix might just save the day. Could Netflix Save Halo Season 3?
The recent surge in Halo 's popularity on Netflix has given fans a glimmer of hope. Netflix has a history of reviving canceled shows, such as Lucifer , You , and Manifest , when they perform well on the platform. Since its debut on Netflix in March 2025, Halo has seen strong viewership in countries like Brazil, Mexico, and the Philippines, suggesting it could find a new audience. Fans have taken to social media to urge Netflix to pick up the series, with comments like, 'Halo on Netflix is 10/10. Please go watch it so we can get a season 3!'
However, a revival faces challenges. Reviving a show requires renegotiating cast contracts, securing funding for its high-budget production, and ensuring enough viewer demand to justify the investment. With Season 2 airing over a year ago, many actors, including lead Pablo Schreiber (Master Chief), may have moved on to other projects, complicating a potential return. Additionally, Netflix's track record shows that revivals are rare unless a show demonstrates exceptional performance, as seen with Manifest . While Halo 's recent streaming numbers are promising, it's unclear if they're strong enough to warrant a third season.

Latest ‘Tiger King' twist finds ‘Doc' Antle sentenced to 1 year in prison for animal traffickin
Animal stories Endangered lifeFacebookTweetLink Follow 'Tiger King' star Bhagavan 'Doc' Antle was sentenced on Tuesday to one year and a day in federal prison and fined $55,000 for trafficking in exotic animals and money laundering after pleading guilty in November 2023. Antle's fate was resolved in a federal courtroom in Charleston, South Carolina, five years after the true crime documentary 'Tiger King' captivated a country shut down by COVID-19. Three others who pleaded guilty in his investigation received either probation or a four-month prison sentence. Antle's sentence is the final true-life chapter of the Tiger King saga. The Netflix series debuted in March 2020 near the peak of COVID-19 restrictions. The show centered on dealers and conservationists of big cats, focusing on disputes between Joe Exotic, a collector and private zookeeper from Oklahoma, and Carole Baskin, who runs Big Cat Rescue in Florida. Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, is serving a 21-year federal prison sentence for trying to hire two different men to kill Baskin. Antle, who owns a private zoo called Myrtle Beach Safari, appeared in the first season of the documentary and was the star of the third season. Antle's zoo was known for charging hundreds or thousands of dollars to let people pet and hold baby animals like lions, tigers and monkeys that were so young they were still being bottle-fed. Customers could have photos or videos made. Antle would sometimes ride into tours on an elephant. Myrtle Beach Safari remains open by reservation only, according to its website. Antle had remained out on bail since his arrest in June 2022. Antle's federal charges were brought after the 'Tiger King' series. Prosecutors said he sold or bought cheetahs, lions, tigers and a chimpanzee without the proper paperwork. And they said in a separate scheme, Antle laundered more than $500,000 that an informant told him was being used to get people into the U.S. illegally to work. Antle was used to having large amounts of money he could move around quickly, investigators said. The FBI was listening to Antle's phone calls with the informant as he explained a baby chimpanzee could easily cost $200,000. Private zookeepers can charge hundreds of dollars for photos with docile young primates or other animals, but the profit window is only open for a few years before the growing animals can no longer be safely handled. 'I had to get a monkey, but the people won't take a check. They only take cash. So what do you do?' Antle said according to a transcript of the phone call in court papers. Two of Antle's employees have already been sentenced for their roles in his schemes. Meredith Bybee was given a year of probation for selling a chimpanzee while Andrew 'Omar' Sawyer, who prosecutors said helped Antle launder money, was given two years of probation. Jason Clay, a Texas private zoo owner, pleaded guilty to illegally selling a primate and was sentenced to four months in prison, while charges were dropped against California ranch owner Charles Sammut. Antle was also convicted in 2023 in a Virginia court of four counts of wildlife trafficking over sales of lions and was sentenced to two years of prison suspended 'upon five years of good behavior.' An appeals court overturned two of the convictions, ruling that Virginia law bans the sale of endangered species but not their purchase. Antle was found not guilty of five counts of animal cruelty at that same Virginia trial.

'Hostage,' Eli Sharabi's memoir about life in Hamas captivity, is coming to the US
NEW YORK (AP) — A memoir by an Israeli man held in captivity for more than a year by Hamas is coming out this fall in the U.S. Eli Sharabi's 'Hostage,' written in Hebrew and already a bestseller in Israel, is the first published memoir by anyone kidnapped by Hamas during the deadly surprise attack of Oct. 7, 2023. Harper Influence, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, announced Tuesday that the English-language edition of his book will come out this Oct. 7, the 2-year anniversary. Sharabi, 53, was released in early February and has said that he had shrunk to under 100 pounds — less than the weight of his youngest daughter, who was killed along with his wife and older daughter. More than 1,000 were killed in the attack and more than 200 taken hostage. 'It was important to me that the story come out as quickly as possible, so that the world will understand what life is like inside captivity," Sharabi said in a statement. 'Once they do, they will not be able to remain indifferent. But I also want readers to know that even in the darkest of times, you can always seek out the light and choose humanity.' According to Harper Influence, Sharabi writes about his experience with his captors in "stark, unflinching prose, detailing the relationships the hostages formed with one another, including Alon Ohel, still a hostage in Gaza, with whom Sharabi formed an unbreakable father-son bond.' 'Along the way, Sharabi reveals how his faith gave him the resilience to endure the horrific conditions and overcome mental anguish," the announcement reads in part.

Home burglary prevented Joe Burrow from making this massive $3 million purchase
Joe Burrow had to postpone his crime-fighting days in Gotham. The Bengals quarterback said he passed on buying a $3 million replica Batmobile following a robbery at his Ohio home last December. 'I didn't end up getting the Batmobile because I just had other things I wanted to deal with at that point,' Burrow said on Netflix's 'Quarterback' series. Advertisement 3 Joe Burrow in June 2025. Kareem Elgazzar-Imagn Images Burrow made waves last year when he revealed in the first episode of the in-season 'Hard Knocks' that he bought a fully scaled Batmobile, which retailed at $2.99 million, per ESPN. He told receiver Tee Higgins in the episode — which aired Dec. 3 after a Week 13 loss to the Steelers — he made the purchase but he would not receive it for a year. Advertisement The Bengals beat the Cowboys in Dallas on 'Monday Night Football' the following week and that's when Burrow's $7.5 million home in Anderson Township was broken into. This break-in happened during a high-profile string of robberies at the homes of NFL players, including Chiefs stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. A gang of Chilean migrants were accused of stealing $300,000 in luxury goods and posted photos with the merchandise, before being indicted in federal court in Cincinnati. Advertisement Burrow learned of the robbery — called into the police by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and possible girlfriend Olivia Ponton — after the win when he checked his phone in the locker room. 'Of f–king course this happened to me right now, when you're on cloud nine something is going to bring you right back down,' Burrow said in the series. 'I just felt like that was the kinda year it was.' 3 The Batmobile from 'Batman Forever.' Getty Images The break-in left its mark on the quarterback. Advertisement 'I just get uncomfortable when my life is very public and that comes with the job but there are certain parts of your life that are yours, your house is one of those,' he said in the Netflix production. 'When that gets violated people find out where you live, all these different things. Not everybody's failures at their job are in front of the whole world. It's every vulnerable position to be in. I put myself in that position because I love it. I don't like the other part of it.' 3 Joe Burrow's Ohio home was broken into in December 2024. Google Earth Burrow, who signed a five-year, $275 million contract with the Bengals in 2023, told former defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo in the episode that he considered moving, but ESPN reported the house is still listed to Burrow. 'That's the only part I'm upset about — all my business is out there,' he said. 'I got news vans camped out by the house. It sucks. So, we'll see if I end up moving. The whole world knows where I live now. That hasn't been really fun to deal with.'
