Prime Video announces season 2 for phenomenal 'Fallout' series

Published Apr 19, 2024 02:51 am

Prime Video announced on April 19 that its highly successful post-apocalyptic series, “Fallout,” has been renewed for a second season. 

The series is based on the popular “Fallout” video game franchise and stars actress Ella Purnell as Lucy, an optimistic Vault-dweller with an all-American can-do spirit; Aaron Moten as Maximus,  a young soldier who rises to the rank of squire in the militaristic faction called Brotherhood of Steel; and Walton Goggins as the Ghoul, a morally ambiguous bounty hunter who holds within him a 200-year history of the post-nuclear world.

Manila Bulletin previously interviewed Purnell and director and executive producer Jonathan Nolan during a roadshow in Mumbai, India.

“Fallout” is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there is almost nothing left to have.

In the series, set in Los Angeles in the year 2296, or 219 years after a nuclear explosion that decimated the planet, a small group of privileged people lives in underground dwellings called Vaults. In the post-apocalyptic world, survival becomes a struggle. 

The series comes from Kilter Films and executive producers Nolan and Lisa Joy. Nolan directed the first three episodes. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, creators, and co-showrunners. 

“Fallout” achieved success upon its release on April 11 in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. 

Prime Video said in its first four days, the series has become a hit with its global audience, ranking among the OTT service’s top three most-watched titles ever and the most-watched season globally since “Rings of Power.” 

According to independent streaming analytics website FlixPatrol (not affiliated with Prime Video), “Fallout” placed first on Prime Video in 110 countries and regions including the US, United Kingdom, Philippines, South Korea, Japan, India, France, Canada, Italy, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. 

On Rotten Tomatoes, "Fallout" is ranked No. 1 among most popular TV shows with a rating of 94 percent.

Groundbreaking

“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. 

She added, “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,” said Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy of Kilter Films.

“Holy sh**. 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!,” said Robertson-Dworet and Wagner. 

Todd Howard, executive producer, Bethesda Game Studios, said, ““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.” 

The series stars Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Kyle MacLachlan, and Walton Goggins. 

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

Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films produced the series in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks. 

The series cast includes 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.
