FALLOUT Renewed for Season 3 Ahead of Season 2’s Big Debut in December
Prime Video has officially greenlit Fallout for a third season, and it comes before before Season 2 even premieres this December. That’s a big move, but considering Season 1 was a huge hit and pulled in over 100 million viewers and landed in the top three most-watched titles on the platform, it’s not hard to see why Amazon is all-in on the wasteland.
Season 2 is set to pick up right after the explosive Season 1 finale and will take viewers deeper into the scorched Mojave Desert and eventually into the iconic city of New Vegas, which is a major location from the Fallout: New Vegas game that fans have been hoping to see brought to life.
Ella Purnell stars as Lucy MacLean, a chipper vault-dweller thrust into the brutal post-apocalyptic world after her father Hank (Kyle MacLachlan) is kidnapped by raiders. She crosses paths with a Brotherhood of Steel soldier named Maximus (Aaron Moten), and a terrifying bounty hunter known only as the Ghoul, played by Walton Goggins, who used to be Vault-Tec’s own Cooper Howard before the bombs dropped.
By the end of Season 1, Lucy and her brother Norm (Moises Arias) uncover a horrifying truth about their father’s role in the apocalypse, the Ghoul gets a lead on his pre-war family, and Maximus earns a knight promotion within the Brotherhood.
As things splinter and the world gets even more unpredictable, Lucy and the Ghoul team up to track down Vault-Tec’s top brass, while Hank heads to New Vegas.
Vernon Sanders, global head of television at Amazon MGM Studios sahred in a statement: “We are absolutely thrilled that our global Prime Video customers will be able to delve deeper into the wonderfully surreal and captivating world of ‘Fallout.’
“Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have done an exceptional job bringing this beloved video game franchise to vivid life on Prime Video. Together with our amazing partners at Bethesda Games and Bethesda Softworks, we are delighted to announce a third season of ‘Fallout,’ well ahead of the much-anticipated debut of Season Two.”
The show’s high quality in storytelling hasn’t gone unnoticed either as it picked up Emmy nominations for Outstanding Drama Series, Lead Actor in a Drama for Goggins, and Writing for Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner.
Nolan and Joy, known for their work on Westworld, continue to executive produce under Kilter Films, with Robertson-Dworet and Wagner steering the ship as showrunners.
