Fallout Season 2 Is Happening, Amazon Confirms

Ahead of the series premiere of Fallout last week, some fans of the franchise worried that dropping all of the Season 1 episodes on a single day might hurt its chances for renewal. Fortunately, that didn't turn out to be the case. Amazon Prime Video has officially renewed the series, and Fallout Season 2 is on the way just eight days after the show's debut.

"Praise be to our insanely brilliant showrunners, Geneva [Robertson-Dworet] and Graham [Wagner], 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,” said executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy in a press release.

“Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have captivated the world with this ground-breaking, wild ride of a show," added Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke. "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."

As part of the announcement, Prime Video touted Fallout for landing among its top three titles to date. Season 2 doesn't currently have a start date for production, but it could be filmed in California to take advantage of a $25 million tax break from the state. As far as where the next season will be set, our money is on New Vegas.

Fallout Season 1 is now streaming on Prime Video.
