Everything we’ve heard so far about the show’s potential future.
With all eight episodes dropping at once, it won’t be long before the most passionate Fallout fans have binged through the first season of the new sci-fi drama on Prime Video.
Then, the conversation naturally starts to shift towards whether there will be more episodes of the highly ambitious video game adaptation, which comes with a hefty price tag of $153 million.
Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets), Walton Goggins (Justified: City Primeval) and Aaron Moten (Emancipation) lead the cast, playing three starkly different individuals who cross paths in the dangerous wasteland of a post-apocalyptic America.
With a built-in fan base from the acclaimed Bethesda video games and sci-fi giants Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan at the helm, it’s hoped that Fallout could well be the next big thing – here’s everything we know about the future of the show.
Will there be a Fallout season 2?
Prime Video is yet to confirm whether there will be a second season of Fallout, but the creatives behind the series have made no secret of their hopes to make more.
Executive producer Graham Wagner told Collider: “[When] we wrapped season 1, we started working on season 2 in the hopes of there being interest in that from Amazon, and in the hopes of shrinking that gap [between release dates] – because leaving people on a cliffhanger for two years is a bizarre impulse.”
One promising sign came just prior to the launch of season 1, when the state of California issued a $25 million tax credit to Amazon MGM Studios, which suggested that production was primed and ready should there be a green light.
No doubt Prime Video will be monitoring the performance of Fallout very closely in the weeks ahead – expect the commissioners there to come to a verdict on the high-profile project sooner rather than later.
We’ll update this page as more news comes in.
