Lucy, Maximus and the Ghoul will return in Fallout Season 2.
Amazon Prime Video has officially announced that its Fallout TV series is getting a second season. Previous reports suggested that Amazon had secured a whopping $152 million in tax incentives to film Season 2 in California, making the renewal likely but unconfirmed until today. Thankfully, this means that fans won’t be stuck waiting on Season 1’s big cliffhanger ending for too long.
Fallout will return for Season 2
It’s only been one week since Amazon’s live-action adaptation of the Fallout game franchise made its debut, but the series has already rocketed to the top of Top 10 streaming lists worldwide, according to The Wrap. It should be no surprise then, that the series has been renewed for a second season this week.
Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke spoke about the Season 2 renewal:
Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have captivated the world with this ground-breaking, wild ride of a show. The bar was high for lovers of this iconic video game and so far we seem to have exceeded their expectations, while bringing in millions of new fans to the franchise. The cast led by Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, and Kyle MacLachlan have knocked it out of the park. We’d like to thank Jonah and Lisa and our friends at Bethesda for bringing the show to us, as well as Geneva and Graham for coming aboard as showrunners. We are thrilled to announce season two after only one week out and take viewers even farther into the surreal world of Fallout.
Series creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy also shared a statement:
Praise be to our insanely brilliant showrunners, Geneva and Graham, to our kick-ass cast, to Todd and James and all the legends at Bethesda, and to Jen, Vernon and the amazing team at Amazon for their incredible support of this show. We can’t wait to blow up the world all over again.
Production on Season 2 will likely move to California to take advantage of the $152 million in tax credits Amazon has secured for the series, which also matches the fact that we’re going to see a few new locations moving forward. I’d rather not spoil the series given that it’s only spent a week out in the wild, but fans of the games will be pleased to see where Season 2 is headed.
