Amazon’s live-action adaptation of Fallout has seemingly been renewed for Season 2 before it’s even released.
Amazon Prime Video has announced that Fallout will now premiere on its streaming service one day earlier, on April 10 at 6 pm PT. The series’ entire eight-episode first season will drop at one go, and you can even watch the first episode without a subscription thanks to a live premiere event happening on Twitch. The event will see streamers like Shroud, CohhCarnage, Elspeth and more live streaming the first episode when it drops.
Fallout is also looking to ramp up production on Season 2 even before it makes its official debut, suggesting that Amazon is pretty confident in its success.
Amazon unvaults Fallout one day earlier, renews the series for Season 2
The live-action adaptation of the RPG game franchise Fallout will now drop its eight-episode first season on Amazon Prime Video one day early, on April 10. If you’d rather test the waters before shelling out for a subscription, however, Twitch is hosting a live premiere event for the series that has a select few streamers play the first episode upon release. The downside is that you’ll likely have to watch these streamers talk over the entire first episode - but at least it’s free.
According to Variety, the series is also gearing up to film Season 2 as well. The outlet reports that the California Film Commission has given Fallout a whopping $152 million in tax incentives for Season 2, which means that the show might relocate filming to California this time. Season 1 was filmed in New York, New Jersey and Utah, but Season 2’s potential change in scenery would actually bring the story closer to its actual setting of Los Angeles, California.
While Amazon hasn’t officially announced that Fallout is moving forward with a second season, it does appear to be planning for it anyway behind the scenes. Here’s the series’ official logline:
‘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.
Fallout hits Amazon Prime Video on April 10.
