Fallout Season 2 Confirmed At Prime Video

The apocalypse was just the beginning. A week ago, Prime Video unleashed its streaming series adaptation of the ultra-popular Fallout video games – bringing a post-nuclear wasteland filled with vault-dwellers, metal-clad soldiers and irradiated ghouls to fans old and new. And not only has Season 1 been a critical hit, receiving considerable acclaim in reviews and notices as one of the best game-to-screen adaptations, but it’s clearly been a ratings winner for the streamer too. So much so that, within seven days of its entire-season drop, Amazon has committed to more mutant mayhem: Fallout will officially be back for Season 2.

While exact viewership numbers haven’t been revealed, Amazon has confirmed that Fallout is in Prime Video’s top three most-watched series ever, and has been the service’s biggest global hit since The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power. “Holy shit,” said showrunners Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner in a statement. “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!” Producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy also spoke out about the news: “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.”

Stay tuned for more info of what Season 2 might offer – and prepare to return to the Wasteland in a year or two’s time. Boom!
