Prime Video renews Fallout for season 2

Just a week after the show first premiered, Prime Video announced that it has renewed its latest hit series, Fallout, for a second season.

Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two-hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.

The show follows Lucy MacLean, a young woman who grew up living in a fallout bunker, who goes to the surface to look for her missing father. The series also follows other characters, including Goggins' Ghoul character and Maximus, a member of the Brotherhood of Steel.

Filming on the second season is expected to move to California in order to benefit from a $25 million tax credit (the first season was largely shot in New York and Utah).

The series stars Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Kyle MacLachlan, and Walton Goggins along with Moisés Arias, Sarita Choudhury, Michael Emerson, Leslie Uggams and Frances Turner, among others.

Fallout comes from Kilter Films and executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. Nolan directed the first three episodes. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, creators, and co-showrunners. Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films produce in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks.
