Fallout Renewed for Season 2 by Prime Video

The hit series Fallout has been renewed for a second season by Prime Video.

The news comes days after the streaming service dropped its eight-episode debut season on Wednesday, April 10.

In its first four days, Fallout ranked among Prime Video’s top three most-watched titles ever and the most-watched season globally since The Lord of Rings: The Rings of Power. Based on the video game, Fallout tells “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,” per Prime Video’s synopsis.

Fallout stars Ella Purnell as Lucy, Aaron Moten as Maximus, Kyle MacLachlan as Overseer Hank MacLean, and Walton Goggins as the Ghoul. The show comes from Kilter Films and executive producers Jonathan Nolan, who directed the first three episodes, and Lisa Joy.

“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,” Nolan and Joy, Kilter Films, said in a statement.

“We can’t wait to blow up the world all over again,” the duo added.

Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, creators, and co-showrunners on Fallout. 

“Holy shit. Thank you to Jonah, Kilter, Bethesda, and Amazon for having the courage to make a show that gravely tackles all of society’s most serious problems these days — cannibalism, incest, jello cake. More to come!,” Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner said.

“Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have captivated the world with this ground-breaking, wild ride of a show,” Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon MGM Studios, said in a statement. Salke’s entire statement reads as follows: 

“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.”

Athena Wickham of Kilter Films also executive produces on Fallout, along with Todd Howard for Bethesda Game Studios and James Altman for Bethesda Softworks.

“It’s been one of the most spectacular projects we’ve ever been a part of. Jonah and team did such an incredible job, and we’re overjoyed not just by the reaction to the show, but that we get to work with these amazing people even more,” Todd Howard said.

Fallout also stars Moisés Arias, Sarita Choudhury, Michael Emerson, Leslie Uggams, Frances Turner, Dave Register, Zach Cherry, Johnny Pemberton, Rodrigo Luzzi, Annabel O’Hagan, and Xelia Mendes-Jones.

Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films produce Fallout in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks.
