It’s safe to say Fallout is a hit TV series on Prime Video. With favorable reviews and an audience streaming the series in droves, it makes sense that Prime Video has already renewed the video game adaptation show for a second season. Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy, and stars Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, and Kyle MacLachlan are executives producing the Kilter Films produced series.
Prime Video said in the first four days of release that Fallout ranks among the service’s top three most-watched titles ever and the most-watched season globally since The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power. The series’ cast is led by 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.
The official Prime Video description goes like this: Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is 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.
“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!,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios. “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.”
“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,” in a statement from Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, Kilter Films.
“Holy s**t. 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!,” from Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner, who are executive producers, creators, and co-showrunners.
“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,” in a quote from Todd Howard, executive producer, Bethesda Game Studios.
